If you think being a Hollywood superstar and dad of eight is a handful, Clint Eastwood is also the loving grandfather of five grandchildren! As the patriarch of one of showbiz’s biggest families, it’s no surprise the Mule actor takes pride in being such a doting father and granddad.
Clint celebrated the birth of his youngest grandchild, Titan, after his daughter Francesca Eastwood welcomed her baby boy in September 2018. He’s also the proud grandpa of daughter Kimber Eastwood‘s child, Clinton, son Kyle Eastwood‘s daughter, Graylen and daughter Laurie Murray‘s two children, Lowell and Kelsey.
The Gran Torino star’s big brood is all thanks to his two marriages and former relationships. During his years being married to his first wife, Maggie Johnson, from 1953 to 1988, Clint became the father of Kyle and daughter Alison Eastwood. He also welcomed Kimber following an affair with Roxanne Tunis in 1964.
After Clint and Maggie divorced, the Academy Award winner tied the knot with his second spouse, Dina Ruiz, in 1996 and expanded his clan with daughter Morgan Eastwood. Clint went on to have two more children, Scott Eastwood and Kathryn Eastwood, with former girlfriend Jacelyn Reeves, as well as daughter Francesca with former costar Frances Fisher.
The iconic actor also discovered he fathered an eighth child after Laurie tracked him down more than 30 years ago. At the time, she revealed she was put up for adoption by her unidentified mother following her birth in 1954.
Although the Good, the Bad and the Ugly alum has a lot on his plate when it comes to his family, daughter Alison previously praised him for being “a great father and a great grandfather.“
“It’s just a lot of fun. I just think that he enjoys it now and I’m glad he’s settled down a bit,” the Tightrope actress told Closer Weekly in October 2019. “He’s worked a lot. Throughout my childhood, he was working all of the time and I didn’t see him that much so now he’ll do a movie a year and he spends a lot of time with us. We all have dinner, we all have fun, it’s a lot of laughter, there’s a lot of kidding and joking.”
Alison also revealed that spending time with her nephew Titan brought her so much joy.
“Oh! He’s so cute, I love him,” she gushed at the time. “He loves to play with the dogs and cats that we have plenty of and he’s a really cool kid.”

Clinton
The Oscar winner’s daughter Kimber welcomed Clint’s first grandchild in February 1984. At the time, the Absolute Power actress gave birth to her son, Clinton, alongside ex-husband Anthony Gaddie.
Although he’s the icon’s eldest grandkid, there’s not much known about Clinton.
Graylen
Clint celebrated the birth of his first granddaughter and second grandchild, Graylen, in March 1994. Since son Kyle welcomed his little girl from his previous relationship, Graylen has followed in her grandfather’s famous footsteps and embraced the spotlight.
According to her Instagram, the brunette beauty is an aspiring musician and model. Graylen has shown off her impressive talent as a drummer as she’s shared videos of her performing on social media.
With Clint as her granddad, there’s no doubt Graylen has a promising future in Hollywood!
Lowell and Kelsey
Although there’s not much information on Clint’s grandchildren, Lowell and Kelsey, the story behind his reunion with daughter Laurie was highly publicized. Clint discovered he was Laurie’s father when she started looking for her biological parents as an adult, per multiple outlets. During her search, she realized she was Clint’s daughter after being given up for adoption by her mom at birth.
“This all happened around 30 years ago,” a friend of the family told the Daily Mail in December 2018. “Laurie had been really interested in finding out who her real parents were and hired someone to help her. When they found the paperwork, her biological mother had written down Clint Eastwood’s name.”
Since they reconnected over three decades ago, Clint and Laurie have formed an incredible bond. We bet he’s especially thrilled to be her kiddos’ granddad!
Titan
Clint’s youngest grandchild, Titan, arrived in September 2018 after daughter Francesca gave birth to the cutie alongside boyfriend Alexander Wraith.
Francesca first revealed she was expecting baby No. 1 while attending an event in May 2018. After unveiling her baby bump on the red carpet, the Old actress gushed over her pregnancy while on stage.
“I’m going to be adding to the family this summer with my own baby and we’re so excited,” she marveled. Since then, the proud mom has been keeping fans updated with Titan’s milestones on social media.
