Sally Field’s three sons—Peter, Eli, and Samuel—are all grown up, but the Oscar-winning actress still has her hands full as a loving grandmother. These days, the Flying Nun star enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren: Isabel, Sophie, Ogden, Noah, and Colin. A close friend shared in 2020 that Sally adores having so many grandkids and loves being fun and goofy with them, showing just how much joy they bring her.

Sally became a grandmother for the first time when her eldest son, Peter, welcomed daughter Isabel with his first wife, Amy Scattergood, in 1998. Peter and Amy later had a second daughter, Sophie, in 2001 before their separation in 2005. Peter then married Jennifer DeFrancisco, and together they had Sally’s first grandson, Ogden. Though their marriage ended in 2017, the family remains close.

Sally’s middle son, Eli, and his wife, Sasha Craig, are the proud parents of two of her grandchildren: Noah, born in 2006, and Colin, born in 2014. Sally balances her time between doting on her grandchildren and staying deeply involved in her sons’ lives, always making sure her children remain a top priority despite her busy schedule.

Reflecting on her family, Sally told Closer magazine in 2020, “The three things I’m most proud of in my life are my sons. They are kind, loving, productive people, each with their own talents and accomplishments.” She frequently praises her sons not only for their professional achievements but also for being devoted fathers and caring individuals.

Sally has also been a vocal supporter of her youngest son, Samuel, especially when he came out as gay. In a 2012 interview with OWN, she emphasized the importance of parents embracing their children fully and with love, regardless of societal fears or prejudices. Sally’s warmth and acceptance have clearly made her a positive and influential presence in the lives of both her children and grandchildren.
