Meet Clint Eastwood's 8 Children

Clint Eastwood is one of the most celebrated actors and filmmakers in Hollywood. He first hit it big in the television seriesRawhideand playing the role of the "Man with No Name" in a series of western films in the 1960s and has since gone on to win Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director forUnforgivenandMillion Dollar Baby. While his professional life has continued to soar over the past 50 years, Eastwood's love life has been a little rocky over the years.

Across the span of 30 years, Eastwood has had eight children -- some from extramarital affairs, including a daughter he didn't even know about for 30 years.

Here are some things you probably didn't know about all of Eastwood's children as well as his two ex-wives.

First Wife, Maggie Johnson

In 1953, Eastwood met a young U.C. Berkley student named Margaret Johnson. While waiting for his young girlfriend to graduate college, Eastwood spent some time in Seattle, Washington. It was here that he had a brief affair with an unidentified woman who became pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption. Eastwood and Johnson were engaged at the time and tied the knot just a few weeks before the Seattle woman gave birth to her child with Eastwood.
Eastwood met actress Sondra Lockewhile filming the Outlaw Josey Wales and Locke ended up moving in with the actor. Johnson moved to the couple's Pebble Beach home full time and it seems like this last affair was the final straw for Maggio. In 1978, Johnson realized that Locke was not like any of her husband's other affairs. Locke had been living with Eastwood for a few years at that point. It's estimated that Johnson's divorce payout was as high as $30 million, which she received in cash.

Second Wife, Dina Eastwood

Eastwood ended his relationship with actress Frances Fisher in 1995, but the actor was already dating news anchor Dina Ruiz, a woman 35 years younger than him. The couple was married the following year. It seemed like, after all of his relationships over the years, Eastwood had found the one.
Dina had her own reality show with E! in 2012 called Mrs. Eastwood & Company, which followed her and her daughter Morgana well as step-daughterFrancesca. She also made appearances in a couple of her husband's films, Blood WorkandTrue Crime. Sadly in 2013, Dina filed for divorce and said that she and Eastwood had already been living separately.

Kyle Eastwood

Kyle was the first child to come from Eastwood's marriage to Johnson in 1968.
Kyle had a small role alongside his father in the filmHonkytonk Man when he was a child. He had a few more acting roles, but he's really made a name for himself in Hollywood as a composer and musician. Some of his credits include his father's films, Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino and Invictus. He's also released nine studio albums.

Alison Eastwood

Alison was the second child of Eastwood and Johnson. Over the years she has had a stable acting career, most recently starring opposite her father inThe Mule. She also founded the Eastwood Ranch Foundation which saves pets from kill shelters while they wait to be adopted.

LaurieMurray(nowLaurieEastwood)

That baby Eastwood fathered in Seattle? That wasLaurie. When she was 34 years old, Laurie became curious about her biological parents. She found her birth certificate and it confirmed that client Eastwoodwas her father. Can you even imagine? Over the years she developed a close relationship with Eastwood and his other children. She even appeared on the red carpet with him for The Mule.

Kimber Eastwood

Six years into his marriage withMaggieJohnson, Eastwood was appearing on the TV how rawhide. It was on this show that he met a dancer and stuntwoman, Roxanne Tunis. Eastwood and Tunis began a 14-year affair that resulted in a daughter namedKimber.

Scott Eastwood

Eastwood was still living with his mistress Sandra Locke when he started having an affair with a flight attendant named Jacelyn Reeves, who gave birth to Scott.

Scott was originally born Scott Clinton Reeves, taking his mother's surname. When he decided to pursue an acting career he used Reeves to avoid any nepotism in using "Eastwood." He's easily the child that looks most like his father and has become the most successful in Hollywood.

Kathryn Eastwood

BornKathrynAnn Reeves, the second child from Eastwood and Jacelyn Reeves, Kathryn also went on to have a few acting parts over the years. For the most part, though, she has been out of the limelight, unlike her famous brother.
