Drew Pearson had one daughter, Ellen, in a short marriage (1925–28) to Felicia Gizycka, daughter of the newspaper heiress Cissy Patterson and Count Joseph Gizycky of Poland.

His second wife was Luvie Moore Abell, whom he married in 1936; that union was childless.

—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
