He may be one of the most iconic actors and directors in Hollywood history, but Clint Eastwood is also a proud dad.

The silver-screen legend has been married twice — first to Maggie Johnson from 1953–1984, then to Dina Eastwood from 1996–2014. And between his ex-wives and other previous relationships, he's welcomed eight children into the world over the years.

Below, we take a look at Clint's kids — many of whom have followed into their famous dad's footsteps, from acting to directing and more.

Clint's eldest child, Laurie Murray — who was born on Feb. 11, 1954 — was apparently conceived while Clint was still engaged to his first wife, Maggie Johnson. And even wilder? Laurie didn't know she was Clint's child until about 30 years ago, as her mother had given her up for adoption after she was born. Clint apparently didn't know about Laurie either. Laurie now has a great relationship with her dad, and she introduced herself publicly to the world as Clint's daughter when she attended the 2018 premiere of his film The Mule. This "secret daughter" now has two kiddos of her own.

Kimber Eastwood was born on June 17, 1964, following a 14-year romance between Clint and her mom Roxanne Tunis — also while Clint was still married to Maggie Johnson. Though she tried her hand at acting, Kimber went on to become a makeup artist and film producer. She has a son named Clinton, and has been married to her third husband since 2014.

Arguably one of the most well-known of Clint's kiddos, Scott was born on March 21, 1986, to Clint and Jacelyn Reeves, a flight attendant with whom Clint had an affair while he in a relationship with a woman named Sandra Locke. Scott initially used his birth name (Scott Reeves) when breaking into acting in order to avoid nepotism. He went on to star in the Nicolas Sparks adaptation The Longest Ride along with several hit films like Suicide Squad, The Fate of the Furious, and more. He's also been interested in following his dad's footsteps further into directing, and he's currently unmarried.

Kathryn (aka Katie) Eastwood is Scott's full sibling, as she was born to Clint and Jacelyn Reeves on March 2, 1988. She was Miss Golden Globe in 2005, and she made her acting debut in 2014's Jersey Boys. In 2024, she appeared to criticize some of her family members on Instagram (namely younger sister Morgan, who appears later on this list), and seemed to indicate she didn't feel accepted by her family. Like her brother, she also appears to be unmarried.

Francesca Eastwood was born on Aug. 7, 1993, to Clint and actress Frances Fisher, whom he may or may not have begun dating around the time he was still in a relationship with Sandra Locke (the timeline is a little unclear). Francesca got into acting like her famous parents, and she appeared on the E! reality show Mrs. Eastwood & Company along with sister Morgan as well as Morgan's mom Dina. Like her sister Katie, Francesca was Miss Golden Globe, this time in 2013. She has been married once before, and she and her current partner share a son named Titan together.
