What was the name of Pablo Picasso's son with Françoise Gilot?

The story behind the answer

What was the name of Pablo Picasso’s son with Françoise Gilot? His son was named Claude Picasso.

Claude Picasso was born in 1947, during Picasso’s nearly decade-long relationship with the French painter Françoise Gilot. He was the couple’s first child; their daughter, Paloma Picasso, was born in 1949.

Claude later became involved in preserving and administering his father’s artistic legacy. He served as the administrator of Picasso’s estate and worked with institutions and legal bodies dealing with the artist’s works, copyrights, and archives.

The family names can cause confusion because Picasso had several children and used recurring names in his personal and artistic life. Paulo, or Paul, was Picasso’s son with his first wife, Olga Khokhlova, while Paloma was Claude’s sister with Gilot. Claude should therefore not be confused with either Paloma or Paulo.
