• Clint Eastwood's estranged daughter found him when she was already 30 years old.

• The actor did not know that her mother was pregnant, but he accepted his daughter into the family circle.

• They have shared a love for golf.

• Now Clint is not only a grandfather but also a great-grandfather courtesy of his daughter.

Clint Eastwood is a renowned actor with many accolades under his belt. He first achieved success with the Western TV show "Rawhide," but the film "Man with no Name" made him internationally recognized.

Besides his successful acting career, Eastwood has a growing family with eight children from multiple women and five grandchildren.

From his first marriage with Maggie Johnson, Eastwood has two children, Kyle and Alison. He also father to Scott and Kathryn, whom she shares with Jacelyn Reeves. In 1996, the actor married Dina Ruiz and had Morgan, but their marriage ended in 2014.

Roxanne Tunis gave him a daughter Kimber; then he had Francesca from his connection with Frances Fisher. Eastwood's eldest daughter, Laurie Murray, was given up for adoption before he became famous, but her mother's name remains unknown.

Eastwood reportedly did not know that Murray's mother was pregnant and only found out about his daughter over 30 years later when she decided to search for her biological parents.

Eastwood reportedly found out about Murray from his publicist Patric McGillian, who revealed that the actor had a relationship with Murray's mother while he was engaged to his first wife, but she ended it when she found out she was pregnant.

The woman, whose name is still unknown, gave up the baby for adoption, and a couple in Seatle took in Murray. Eastwood, on the other hand, had no idea Murray's mother was pregnant.

When Murray was in her 30s, she decided to look for her biological parents and hired someone to help her when she eventually found out her father was a movie star.

There is no concrete information on how Murray made contact with Eastwood, but the actor was keen to build a relationship with her.

She tried contacting her mother, but she reportedly refused to speak to her. However, Eastwood was ready to integrate Murray into the family and even invited her to the 2004 Oscars where he was nominated for "Mystic River."

Murray reportedly came from a wealthy family and had no intentions of making contact with Eastwood for his money. She also leads a private life and does not brag to the world about who her father is.

Clint Eastwood Welcomed His Estranged Daughter with Open Arms

According to Daily Mail, the father and daughter have bonded over their shared love for golf and the outdoors and have gone on family vacations.

Murray has also built a close connection with Eastwood's mother and spends a lot of time with her. She has been fully integrated into the family and her father's Hollywood life.

Murray has been part of her father's movie premieres and took a ride on the Warner Bros jet. Eastwood has also met her children, Lowell Thomas IV and Kelsey, on a skiing trip in Idaho.

Thomas also said that his grandfather has been a great father to Murray and confirmed that the Eastwood family always treated him well. The Murray family has also invited the Eastwoods to their vacation home.

Murray is married to Lowell Thomas III, who comes from a wealthy family with a long-standing and successful timber company for several years. The family sold their timber lands to a company in California and is now focused on their investment firm.

Eastwood, his ex-wife Ruiz, and the rest of the family were invited to one of the Murray properties on the island of Maui in Hawaii. It was such a hit that Ruiz and Eastwood bought a vacation home on the same island from Murray's investment company.

Kelsey, an estate broker in Tacoma, got married in 2016, and the wedding was held at Eastwood's ranch in California. The actor also attended Thomas' wedding in Washington state in 2012, but the couple eventually divorced.

Eastwood has welcomed his estranged daughter and her children with open arms; they have seamlessly become part of the family, and even the siblings have bonded with their sister.

Morgan, the youngest of Eastwood's children, shared a picture of all eight siblings on Instagram. Alison also posted the same picture and captioned, "I'm not sure there has been a picture of all eight kids, but here it is."

Eastwood was also excited to embark on his role as a grandfather when his daughter Francesca had her first child, but the actor loves all his grandkids and great-grandkids dearly, including those from Murray's family.

Despite having such a big family, the actor's children pride him on being present. Alison expressed that despite her parents separating at a young age, her father always made time, no matter how much he worked.

Scott also said Eastwood did not put any pressure on their career choices; he was happy if his children were good at what they were passionate about, remained humble, and were truthful people.
