Liszt's three children were all borne by the Countess Marie D'Agoult.
AFAIK she and FL were never married.  Cosima was the only one of the three
to live into full maturity- she died in 1930 (!) Daughter Blandine died at
age 31, unmarried and son Daniel at only age 20.  Liszt must've seen the
irony in his only progeny bearing Wagner's family, but in later years he
did get used to it.
