In the year 200,000, the Face gave birth to the Boemina, (TV: The Long Game) although by the time of his hospitalisation and near-death in 5,000,000,023 they were deceased.

Possible Origins
Blatant reference by Captain Jack Harkness alluding to the nickname "The Face of Boe" which was purportedly bestowed by his place or origin, the Boeshane Peninsula because he was the first Time Agent and was used as the centerpiece for the Time Agency recruitment drive. Their is much controversy on this point but several theories involve his relationship with the Order of the Headless and the fact that he was immortal due to the incident with Rose Tyler and the Time Vortex.
