Away from the big screen, Clint Eastwood is quite the family man.
While the legendary actor has found huge success as an actor and director for projects like Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby, his greatest role is being a father to his eight children.
“I’m a much better father now than when I was younger because then, I was working all around the world and I was desperate to find the brass ring, so I worked constantly,” Eastwood previously shared with the Toronto Star in 2018. “I go to all the softball games and look ridiculous out there because almost everybody’s got a much younger father than me. But it’s fun. I think you appreciate everything a lot more when you get to my age.”
Softball games, however, may be a thing of the past. As his kids continue to reach new milestones in their personal and professional lives as adults, Eastwood finds himself experiencing weddings and earning new titles like ‘grandparent.’

Laurie Murray
Eastwood’s oldest child was born in 1954. According to the Daily Mail, the actor was unaware of Laurie’s birth, and she was placed for adoption by her mother shortly after her arrival. In a story straight from a movie script, however, Laurie later approached the Oscar winner, and the two established a close relationship.
In 2004, she joined her father at the Oscars. Laurie also celebrated the premiere of Eastwood’s film The Mule with her siblings in 2018.
Kimber Lynn Eastwood
Back in 1964, Clint and Blue City actress Roxanne Tunis welcomed a daughter in Los Angeles. Kimber briefly pursued acting and appeared in movies like Passion Crimes and Crossed. “Yes, Clint Eastwood is my father,” she told the Sunday Mirror in 1989. “I must speak to him about this. I am partly shocked and partly glad it is all out in the open.”
Now, she finds herself working behind the scenes as a Hollywood makeup artist and indie film producer. Kimber has one adult son, Clinton, who is named after his grandfather.
Kyle Eastwood
Clint and his first wife, Maggie Johnson, welcomed Kyle in 1968. While he briefly studied film at the University of Southern California and acted in a few of his dad’s movies, Kyle eventually chose to pursue a career in music. According to his Instagram, the musician works as a jazz bassist and film score composer.
When asked what his dad thinks about his career, Kyle said he is a big cheerleader. “I think he appreciates my music,” he told the Belfast Telegraph in 2014. “We’ve written a few things together and anytime we’re in the same part of the world, he tries to come by and catch the band when he can. He’s happy that I’ve found music and that I’ve dedicated myself to it.”
