Historian Lola Van Wagenen has been married to her husband George Burrill since the beginning of the 2000s'. But, this isn't the first marriage of Wagenen as she was previously married to Hollywood legend, Robert Redford.

But, throughout their more than two decades of togetherness, Lola and George's marriage never produced any children. The main reason for this is that the female historian was already in her sixties at the time of her second marriage. It's been over twenty years since Lola and George Burrill's wedding ceremony, the duo is still together.
Moreover, it's even harder to find out stuff about the historian since she doesn't come to the limelight as she used to when she was still married to Redford, the father of her four children.
Van Wagenen and Redford raised three children practically because their eldest child, a son named Scott Anthony Redford passed away at only 47 days from sudden infant death syndrome. The rest of the three children of Lola are still alive and well today, leaving the exception of the tragedies life threw at a few of them at an early age.

Lola Van Wagenen and Robert Redford welcomed their second child, a daughter named Shauna Redford a year after the death of Scott followed by the third child, a son named James Redford, and their youngest child, Amy Redford.
