Clint Eastwood's Family Guide: Meet the Actor's 8 Children

Clint Eastwood s Family Guide Meet the Actor s 8 Children

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.'

"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.

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."

Clint and Johnson's second child was born in 1972. While she found success as a child actress before landing a leading role in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Alison announced her retirement from acting in 2014.

"He's not a man of many words," Alison told the New York Daily News in 2007 when discussing her father's mentorship. "He doesn't get chatty. Instead of telling me anything, he let me be a fly on the wall and watch him at a different level. It was his way of being helpful, by showing me how he worked."

While Alison was also able to direct projects including the 2007 movie Rails and Ties, her main passion today is working with the Eastwood Ranch Foundation. The nonprofit aims to help reduce pet overpopulation and increase pet adoptions.

Clint and flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves welcomed their first child together in 1986. Scott quickly went on to follow in his dad's footsteps by directing and acting in a variety of box office hits including The Longest Ride, The Fate of the Furious, Pacific Rim and Suicide Squad.

"I came [to Hollywood] to try and do something, and nobody took me seriously," Scott told Men's Health in 2017. "Everyone brushed me off, like, ‘You're Clint Eastwood's son, you're not a real f–king actor.' Some people are still like that. I never thought I would last in this business, but it finally seems to be working out."

Scott also found himself being the center of tabloid attention as he dated public figures. He's been linked to One Tree Hill alum Jana Kramer, Nina Dobrev and model Brittany Brousseau.

"My father taught me not to overthink things, that nothing will ever be perfect, so just keep moving and do your best," he told Town & Country in 2014. "My mother taught me to be honest, to be selfless and to touch people in a positive way."
