Andrássy married countess [[Katinka Kendeffy]] in Paris in 1856. They had two sons, [[Tivadar Andrássy|Tivadar]] (born 10 July 1857) and [[Gyula Andrássy the Younger|Gyula]] (born 30 June 1860), and one daughter, [[Ilona Andrássy|Ilona]] (b. 1858).
Both sons gained distinction in Hungarian politics. Tivadar was elected vice-president of the Lower House of the Hungarian parliament in 1890.{{sfn|Bain|1911|p=968}} Gyula also had a successful political career.

Count Gyula Andrássy's granddaughter, Klára, married the Hungarian nobleman and industrialist Prince Károly Odescalchi.<ref>{{cite news|title=Obituary: Prince Paul Odescalchi|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10936111/Prince-Paul-Odescalchi-obituary.html|work=The Daily Telegraph|location=London}}</ref>

Many rumors suggest that Count Andrássy had a long lasting romance with [[Empress Elisabeth of Austria|Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary]], also known as Sisi, the wife of Emperor [[Franz Josef I]] of Austria-Hungary. Some rumored that Sisi's fourth child, [[Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria]], had been fathered by Andrassy. There is no evidence for this, and these rumors have all been proven to be false.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} The rumor may have evolved due to the devotion of both Sisi and Count Andrássy towards Hungary, its culture and national customs (she was fluent in Hungarian, and both regarded Hungarian poetry highly), and the amount of time they spent together in mutual pursuit of their dreams for Hungary. Additionally, as Marie Valerie grew up, her physical resemblance to her father Franz Josef became very marked.

Count Andrássy had four granddaughters, Klára above, Borbála, married Marquis Pallavicini, Katalin married Count [[Mihály Károlyi]] and Ilona war widow of Prince [[Pál Esterházy (1883&ndash;1915)|Pál Esterházy]], remarried Count [[József Cziráky]].
