<p>Clint’s daughter, Alison Eastwood, with first wife Maggie Johnson, also shared a happy snap of the reunion to her own Instagram.</p>
<p>“I’m not sure there has ever been a picture of all 8 kids together but here it is,” she wrote.</p>
<p>It is assumed that Laurie was born during Clint’s secret affair with a woman in Seattle, during his engagement to Maggie in 1953.</p>
<p>Patrick McGilligan, Clint’s biographer, had previously spoken about the existence of Laurie, and claimed the Hollywood star was in a serious relationship with her mother.</p>
<p>“Clint has a way of bringing his progeny – his big extended family – together and he’s been doing this for a long time,” McGilligan told the<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6484713/Clint-Eastwood-pictured-time-secret-daughter-Laurie.html" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail</em></a>.</p>
<p>“One of the things that’s interesting about him is that, after a certain point in time, they were no longer hidden from the public view. He, in various ways, tried to be a father to them.”</p>
<p>“He seems to be very comfortable with it, and I think to some extent that’s admirable.”</p>
<p>Also attending the premiere was Maggie, who was married to Clint from 1953 to 1984.</p>
<p>Clint is currently dating 55-year-old Christina Sandera, who is 33 years younger than him. She accompanied the film maker to the premiere to show her support.</p>
<p>Clint has a total of eight children, including Laurie, Alison, Kyle Eastwood, Kimber Tunis, Jacelyn Reeves, Scott Eastwood and Kathryn Reeves, with the youngest being Morgan. </p>
