Emilio Estévez is an American actor, director, and writer. He is the son of actor Martin Sheen (born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez) and Janet Templeton. He has three siblings, actors Ramón Estevez, Charlie Sheen, and Renée Estevez. Emilio retained his father’s birth surname.

Emilio’s father is of half Spanish and half Irish ancestry. Emilio’s maternal grandmother’s ancestry included English and Scottish. His father is Catholic and his mother is Baptist.

He has two children with his former partner, model Carey Salley.

Emilio’s paternal grandfather was Francisco Estévez Martinez (the son of Jose Manuel N. Estévez Fernandez and Dolores Martinez). Francisco was born in Parderrubias, Salceda de Caselas, Galicia. Jose was the son of Augustín Estévez Martinez and Maria/Maita/Marta Fernandez Baquíero/Baquero. Dolores was the daughter of Carmen Martinez.

It is unclear who Emilio’s biological maternal grandfather was.
