Charles Emmanuel first met Marie Jeanne of Savoy in 1659 and fell in love with her.
 However, his mother disagreed with the pairing, and encouraged him to marry Françoise Madeleine d'Orléans, daughter of his maternal uncle Gaston, Duke of Orléans, the younger brother of his mother Christine Marie.
 They were married 3 April 1663.
 The couple had no issue.
 His mother died at the end of 1663, and his first wife died at the start of 1664.

Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia, future King of Sicily and later Sardinia; married Anne Marie d'Orléans and had issue; had illegitimate issue also; married Anna Canalis di Cumiana in a morganatic marriage
Charles Emmanuel II also recognized five of his illegitimate children by three different mistresses.
