He is believed to have been adopted by Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus, the father of Livia Drusilla, who was the third wife of Augustus.

Livia Medullina Camilla, whom Claudius was intended to marry in 8 but who died on the day of their wedding, is assumed to be his granddaughter, based on her name.
