Marriages and children
Napoleon was twice married:

Jos??phine de Beauharnais Empress Jos??phine
Firstly, on 9 March 1796 to Jos??phine de Beauharnais. He later crowned her as Empress Jos??phine. She produced no heirs for him, leading to a divorce.
Secondly, on 11 March 1810 (by proxy) to Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria, who became his second empress. They had one child.
Napol??on Francis Joseph Charles Bonaparte (March 20, 1811- July 22, 1832), King of Rome. He is known as Napol??on II of France although he never ruled. In his later life he was known as the Duke of Reichstadt.
He acknowledged at least two illegitimate children, both of whom had descendants:

Charles, Count L??on, (1806 - 1881), son by Louise Catherine El??onore Denuelle de la Plaigne (1787 - 1868).
Alexandre Joseph Colonna, Count Walewski, (May 4, 1810 - October 27, 1868), son of Marie, Countess Walewski (1789 - 1817).
Other information points to his having had further illegitimate children:

?‰milie Louise Marie Fran?§oise Jos??phine Pellapra, daughter by Fran?§oise-Marie LeRoy.
Karl Eugin von M??hlfeld, son by Victoria Kraus.
H??l?¨ne Napoleone Bonaparte, daughter by Countess Montholon.
Barth??lemy St Hilaire (August 19, 1805 - November 24, 1895) whose mother remains unknown.
Napoleon also formally adopted his stepson Eug?¨ne de Beauharnais and Jos??phine's cousin, St??phanie de Beauharnais, after assuming the Imperial throne, in order to arrange "dynastic" marriages for them.

Further than that, the article did not say.
