Maurits never married, but fathered several bastards by Margaretha van Mechelen, Anna van de Kelder and others. Many of these descendents were elevated to Reichs Counts of Nassau-Le Lecq and Nassau-Beverweerd. He also had children with at least 3 other women. Those children received lower titles like Lord and Lady of the Lek.
The two most well-known sons were:
- Willem (~1601-1627) married 1627 Anna van der Noot (†1642), lady of Hoogwoud. He had a bastard son by Barbara Cocx.
- Lodewijk (1602-1665), lord of Beverweerd, married 1630 Isabella of Hornes (†1664). This line of Nassau-Le Lecq became extinct in 1861.
