stepgrandchildren

Spouse's grandkids, technically

Stepgrandchildren are the grandchildren of one's spouse from a previous relationship—children of one's stepchildren.

The term describes a family connection formed through marriage rather than blood: She treats her stepgrandchildren the same as her biological grandchildren.

Like other step- relationships, the bond varies widely in closeness depending on when the families merged and how relationships developed.
