Clint Eastwood pictured for the first time with secret daughter Laurie

It has long been rumored that, in addition to his seven children, Clint Eastwood had fathered a child who was given up for adoption before he hit the big time.

Now that rumor has been confirmed as all eight of Clint’s children, including his secret firstborn, came together for the first time to support him at the premiere of The Mule on Monday night.  

Laurie Eastwood, as she identified herself to photographers, was pictured surrounded by her seven younger siblings in a group shot. 

She was also seen enjoying a drink with Clint, 88, as the two chatted together during a reception at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles.

Clint’s youngest child, 22-year-old Morgan Eastwood, confirmed that Laurie was her sister as she celebrated the family reunion. 

‘SO RARE for all 8 Eastwood siblings to be in one room!!!’ she wrote, posting a picture of the group to Instagram. 

Alison Eastwood, Clint’s daughter with first wife Maggie Johnson, also wrote about the reunion on Instagram.   

‘I’m not sure there has ever been a picture of all 8 kids together but here it is,’ she wrote in the caption.  

If Laurie is the previously reported adopted child, she is thought to have been born while Clint was having a secret affair with a woman in Seattle while he was engaged to Johnson in 1953.  

Laurie’s existence was first revealed by Eastwood biographer Patrick McGilligan, who said her mother had a serious relationship with the future star.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Clint’s office for clarification, but did not receive an immediate response.

Johnson, who was married to Clint from 1953 to 1984, came to the premiere with Alison, 46, and the couple’s son Kyle, 50, to show her support.  

Clint’s 55-year-old girlfriend Christina Sandera, who is 33 years his junior, also made an appearance. 

The actor, who directs and stars in the movie, was pictured sandwiched between his long-term girlfriend and ex-wife in a family picture that included Clint’s children, granddaughter, and various in-laws.  

But it was the sibling shot which was most surprising, with Clint’s eight children by five women all smiling happily as they posed together.

Also joining the sibling group were Clint’s two children with air hostess Jacelyn Reeves, actor Scott Eastwood, 32, and his 30-year-old sister Kathryn Reeves. 

Morgan, born to Clint’s second wife, American TV reporter Dina Ruiz, completed the group.

While Clint has been working behind the scenes directing movies, The Mule marks his first starring role since 2012’s Trouble With the Curve.

The Mule is based on the true story of Leo Sharp, who was arrested in 2011 at 87 years old with 200 pounds of cocaine hidden in his truck.

He had been transporting drugs for the Sinaloa Cartel for over 10 years and was sentenced to three years in prison, but he only served a year due to his failing health. 

Sharp passed away in 2016 at the age of 92.
