Lindsay Wagner and Jill Wagner aren’t related, but both Hallmark actors have faced some serious heartache in their own families. And far from trying to keep that under wraps, both have opened up about it to some degree.
In addition to being an actor, Lindsay is a staunch advocate for domestic violence awareness, and much of that is because of her own experiences growing up. As she explained in a 1987 interview with the Chicago Tribune, she faced some serious turbulence in her childhood. In fact, she shared that she ended up living with her aunt for a time because of it. Though her mother and stepfather ultimately divorced, and she was able to move back in with her mom. She’s also said keeping all her inner turmoil over witnessing domestic violence contributed to stomach ulcers in her teen years.
While not nearly as dramatic, Jill has also pointed to a sometimes testy family dynamic with her mom. It’s well-documented that her dad and grandmother were super hands-on during her childhood, mentions of her mom are scant — and some biographies even claim her mother passed away when she was a baby. However, in a Facebook post for Mother’s Day 2022, she shared a snap of them together. In the accompanying caption, she admitted that their mother/daughter relationship had been strained but that she loved her and was wishing her a happy Mother’s Day.
