Clint hadn't yet made a name for himself in Hollywood when he married his first wife, Maggie Johnson, whom People reports he met on a blind date in 1953.

He ended up marrying Maggie just months before his daughter with another woman was born.

Laurie Murray, Clint's firstborn, was placed up for adoption. They eventually met when she was in her thirties.

“When I met my dad, it was love at first sight," she said about their relationship. "He is a wonderful man, and we have unconditional parent/child love for each other. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed becoming part of a much larger family.”

It's unclear how long Clint and Jacelyn were together, but they had two children with one another — one of whom is actor Scott Eastwood.

Jacelyn raised Scott for the most part, according to him. "I lived with my mom in Hawaii until I pissed her off. And then I came to live with my dad and pissed him off," he joked in a 2016 Esquire interview.

Jacelyn and Clint are also parents to Scott's sister, Kathryn.

Clint met Dina Ruiz when he was still with Frances — and proposed shortly after their split. They soon wed and had a child, Morgan.

The couple was together for quite some time, divorcing in 2013 when Clint was 84 years old. But apparently there was no bad blood, with Dina saying post-split, "He's probably the sweetest guy I've ever met. He is the sweetest, he is a loving, kind, low-key person so my intuition was still great on marrying a good person."

Not surprisingly, Clint quickly moved on with Christina, a hostess, following his split from Dina. In fact, according to the Daily Mail, they moved in together right away. "She lives with him in his house he used to share with Dina. She moved in months ago," a source said in 2014.

The couple was together until her death in July 2024. “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” the prolific actor, age 94, said in a statement following her passing at age 61.
