Figuratively speaking, the number of grandchildren that Claire McMaskill has could rival the number of political feats she's achieved in her career. In the past, she was married to a man named David Exposito, with whom she had three children before they divorced in 1995.

With her kids having grown up and started families of their own, Claire is currently the grandmother to 11 grandchildren in total. In 2018, she welcomed her 11th to the world, who is reportedly the family's ninth grandson in a row.

Claire cares for her family deeply, as indicated by the many family photos and videos that she posts on platforms like Instagram. Recently, however, she briefly stepped away from social media after one of her grandsons underwent a health emergency. As of this writing, she has not specifically identified by name which of her many grandsons was affected by this crisis, but she has shared a few updates on his health.
