Lowell Thomas, affectionately known as LT, has been able to establish a relationship with his grandfather, Clint Eastwood. According to a report by Daily Mail, LT shared that Clint did his best to make up for lost time and has been a great father to Laurie.
Not only that, but Clint has also been a wonderful presence in LT’s life and has been kind and welcoming to LT and his family whenever they see him. For LT, having the opportunity to get to know Clint has been a special experience, and he is grateful to have a newfound family member in his life.
Not in It for the Money
Someone like Clint, who has had a past full of romantic adventures, might not be surprised to hear that they have a secret child. So it would stand to reason to think that people may have used that against him, hoping to make some money. But that definitely wasn't the case, as far as Laurie was concerned.
Yes, things weren't like that with Laurie at all. A family friend of Laurie's told Daily Mail that “Laurie and her family are wealthy in their own right,” and that she was just looking to reconnect. Maybe things would have been different if Laurie didn't have money. But whatever the case may be, she wanted to reconnect.
Laurie's Family
Laurie's life has taken many unexpected turns, but she has found happiness and stability in her marriage to Lowell Thomas (Toby) Murray. Toby is an heir to his family's timber business, which has been in operation for over a century, and the two share a deep connection and love for each other.
While some may speculate that Laurie's connection to a wealthy family played a role in her relationship with Toby, it's clear that their bond is built on mutual respect and affection. In addition to her husband, Laurie is also a proud mother to her children, Lowell Thomas and Kelsey Hayford.
Extended Family
It appears that Laurie has won not only a good relationship with her long lost father and siblings. But she also managed to strike a bond with her grandmother — Clint's mother, Ruth. The two reportedly became pretty close before Ruth passed away in 2006.
As we previously wrote, they were seen together at the 2004 Oscars, two years before Ruth's passing. But according to a Daily Mail source, the two got together on multiple occasions and had a close relationship. Laurie would frequently go to her hope and the two would share stories with each other to make up for all the lost time.
The Joys of Fatherhood
You could easily base a soap opera on Clint Eastwood's love and his long line of romantic partners. As a father, however, he turns out to be a much stabler man than you would ever think. He was blessed with kids who were raised into good people and successful artists.
Most of them even follow his lead and establish careers as actors, directors, and producers. We can't wait for a mega-film produced by their legendary dad and featuring all of them. Whatever the case may be, the past has been epic, Clint's had an incredible life and career, and the future looks very bright for the Eastwood clan.
