Clint Eastwood may be among Hollywood's most decorated stars, but he's also well known for being a notorious ladies' man.

In fact, the Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker, now 96, is a proud father of eight children, and that's a number that's even been hotly debated, with the actor himself never fully acknowledging how large his family actually is.

Clint is a dad to daughters Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Kathryn, Francesca and Morgan, and also has two sons, Kyle and Scott.

With an age difference of 43 years between the oldest and the youngest child, his offspring spans over several generations. And many have followed him into the Hollywood machine.

Here's all you need to know about the good-looking Eastwood brood…

Laurie Murray, 72

Clint was unaware he had become a father for the first time as his firstborn, Laurie Murray, was placed for adoption without his knowledge when she was born in 1954.

Later in life, Laurie discovered who her famous father was and reportedly tracked him down. They connected and now have a wonderful relationship. 

She walked the red carpet with Clint at the 2004 Oscars with the star's mom, Ruth.

Kimber Lynn Eastwood, 62

Kimber was born from Clint's 14-year romance with dancer and actress, Roxanne Turnis. Both were married to different people throughout their relationship.

Kimber was born in 1964 and forged a career in the entertainment industry. She's appeared in several of her dad's movies, and also in the likes of Passion Crimes and Crossed.

In addition, Kimber has been involved in film production but mostly works as a makeup artist for reality TV shows such as Wheel of Fortune and Dog the Bounty Hunter. 

She's a mom to her grown son, Clinton and is currently married to her third husband, Shawn Midkiff.

Kyle Eastwood, 58

Clint welcomed his son, Kyle, with his first wife, Maggie Johnson, in 1968.

He is an American jazz bassist and film composer. Kyle is also an actor having appeared in Gran Torino, Invictus and Letters from Iwo Jima, but music is his passion. 

"I think I decided I loved music more than acting," he told SUR in English. "I've always loved it; it's always been a passion of mine."

Clint is supportive of his son's career and Kyle told the Belfast Telegraph in 2014: "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."

Kyle was formerly married to Laura Gomez, but tied the knot with his second wife, Cynthia Ramirez, in 2014 on his father's ranch. He shares a daughter named Graylen with Laura.

Alison Eastwood, 54

Clint also had a daughter with Maggie. Alison was born in 1972 in Santa Monica, California. 

She's had a successful career as an actress and earned herself the leading role alongside John Cusack in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Alison also tried her hand at directing, just like her father. Her directorial debut was Rails and Ties in 2007 and starred Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden. 

She hung up her acting shoes in 2014, but did come out of retirement to play Clint's daughter in his movie The Mule four years later. 

Alison is now focused on her nonprofit animal welfare organization, Eastwood Ranch Foundation, actively working on curating and organizing adoption fairs around the country. She married her second husband, sculptor Stacy Poitras, in 2013, following a short-lived marriage to actor Kirk Fox from 1999 to 2000.

Scott Eastwood, 40

Scott is arguably the most well known of Clint's children. Born to his dad and flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves in 1986, Scott became an actor as well. 

At the start of his career, he tried to avoid nepotism by using Reeves, rather than Eastwood as his last name. 

He went on to star in a number of his father's movies, including Flags of our Fathers, Gran Torino, Invictus and Trouble with the Curve.

Some of his other best known credits include the Fast & and the Furious franchise, Fury and Regretting You, as well as playing the romantic interest in Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" music video.

He has dated several high profile women including Nina Dobrev and One Tree Hill star Jana Kramer. But has admitted he has struggled to settle down after his girlfriend, Jewel Brangman, was tragically killed in a car accident in 2014.

Clint's second child with Jacelyn was a daughter named Kathryn, who was born in 1988. She went down the acting route too and appeared in Jersey Boys, which her dad directed.

Kathryn was Miss Golden Globe in 2005 and has made several more appearances in films as well as working on her career as a writer, although hasn't appeared on screen since 2020.

In 1993, Clint became a dad again. This time to daughter Francesca, who he welcomed with British actress Frances Fisher.

Francesca caught the attention of fans when she starred in the reality TV show Mrs. Eastwood & Company, which followed her life with step-mom Dina, and sister Morgan. 

She was named Miss Golden Globe in 2013 and has had a number of parts in TV shows and movies including Fargo and Old. 

In her personal life, she was briefly married to Jonah Hill's late brother Jordan Feldstein. Their marriage was annulled a week after their 2013 nuptials. She shares two children with her longtime partner, trainer Alexander Wraith.

Morgan Eastwood, 29

Three years after the birth of Francesca, came Morgan in 1996. He shares his daughter with news anchor and actress Dina Fisher, formerly known as Dina Eastwood. 

They were married for 17 years until she filed for divorce in 2013 citing "irreconcilable differences." Morgan was a teenager when the E! show Mrs. Eastwood & Company aired. 

She also found fame by showing off her acting skills in Million Dollar Baby and Changeling. Morgan also executive produced and appeared in a short film called I See You, and is also a talented singer. 

In June 2024, she married Tanner Koopmans, with the couple welcoming a daughter named Cleo that Septmeber.
