Veteran actor Robert Wagner recently shared a new Instagram post featuring two heartwarming photos with his adopted daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner. The post quickly drew attention, with many noting Natasha's resemblance to her late mother, actress Natalie Wood.

In the images, Robert and Natasha are seated close together on a vintage green velvet couch. Natasha is barefoot and dressed casually in a cream long-sleeved shirt and navy pants.

She sits with her legs tucked to one side while Robert, wearing a navy zip-up jacket with red, yellow, and orange stripes on the sleeves, wraps his arms around her.

In one photo, he appears to kiss her cheek while she smiles gently. In the other, both are looking directly at the camera, smiling with their arms wrapped around each other.

Robert captioned the July 16, 2025, post, "Always the best when my girl comes to visit. So grateful for the time together, the laughs, and the love. Love you, Natasha."

The post prompted an outpouring of reactions from followers, many touched by the father-daughter moment and noting Natasha's striking features.

One person wrote, "Thank you, for sharing this beautiful glimpse into your special bond with Natasha. The love between a father and daughter is truly one of life's greatest gifts." Another commented, "So sweet with his daughter. She looks like Natalie Wood!"
