A former FBI agent has claimed he carried on a four-year love affair with NATALIE WOOD right under the nose of hubby Robert Wagner.
“We were in love with each other,” hunky “G-Man” Donald Wilson declared in a blockbuster interview.
Speaking exclusively to The National ENQUIRER, Donald, now 72, broke his silence and said he was cheating with the doomed “West Side Story” before her death off the choppy waters of Catalina Island 33 years ago.
Donald met Natalie in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in 1973. He was on a law enforcement speaking tour.
She was pregnant and hiding out from Wagner.
“She told me her presence in Idaho was a spur-of-the-moment trip in an effort to distance herself from her husband,” Donald said.
The two exchanged phone numbers and continued to meet up. Donald said they kept their romance a secret because the disclosure would “harm” Natalie’s film career and his FBI career.
When asked why she stayed with Robert Wagner Natalie – who divorced Wagner in 1962, only to remarry him in 1972 – told Donald: “I don’t know the answer. I certainly don’t know why I remarried him. It was the worst decision I ever made.”
“I found her to be highly intelligent, compassionate – and surprisingly naïve, considering her Hollywood superstar status,” Donald added.
Donald said he and Natalie mutually agreed to end their romance in 1977. Donald claimed Natalie was unhappy with her husband.
Natalie’s body was found floating off Catalina Island. Her cause of death was originally ruled an “accidental drowning.” But homicide investigators reopened the case in 2011, and a year later the Medical Examiner’s Office changed Natalie’s cause of death to “drowning and other undetermined factors.”
