The Shady Side Of Clint Eastwood

Given his clearcut issues with infidelity, it shouldn’t be surprising to learn that Clint Eastwood has been involved with numerous women over the years, and many of these romances resulted in children. In fact, Eastwood is the father of eight, from six different women. These include his first child, daughter Laurie, who was the result of an affair while Eastwood was dating his future first wife; she wound up discovering her lineage when she was an adult, with her and Eastwood ultimately connecting and establishing a relationship. 

In addition, Eastwood is father to daughter Kimber Eastwood, from the affair with Roxanne Tunis mentioned above; son Kyle Eastwood and daughter Alison Eastwood, shared with first wife Maggie Johnson; Scott Eastwood (his birth certificate displays the words “Father Declined”) and Kathryn Eastwood, whose mother is former flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves; Francesca Eastwood, whom Eastwood welcomed with his “Unforgiven” co-star Frances Fisher; and Morgan Eastwood, the only child to result from Eastwood’s second marriage, to TV news anchor Dina Ruiz. 

Eastwood addressed his somewhat unorthodox parental situation in an interview with Esquire, crediting then-wife Dina for ensuring that all those kids had become integrated into one big, unconventional family. “I have children by other women. I gotta give Dina the credit for bringing everyone together,” Eastwood said. “She’s friendly with my first wife, friendly to former girlfriends. She went out of her way to unite everybody.”
