The entertainment world was saddened by the news of Christina Sandera's passing at the age of 61. Sandera was known as Clint Eastwood's longtime partner and had been a significant presence in his life for many years. Her death has left a void in both Eastwood's personal life and in the hearts of those who knew her.
Christina Sandera was much more than just Clint Eastwood's partner; she was a beloved member of his family and a respected figure in her own right. Her warm and caring nature endeared her to all who knew her, and she will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for Eastwood throughout their relationship.
Keeping their relationship largely under wraps, the two met while Sandera worked as a hostess at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, where Eastwood was once elected mayor in 1986.
Sandera and Eastwood kept their relationship relatively private over the past decade, aside from making occasional appearances at high-profile events such as the premieres for 2018's "The Mule" and "The 15:17 to Paris." The duo made their red-carpet debut at the 2015 Academy Awards, where the Eastwood-directed "American Sniper" received six nominations.
Eastwood, 94, has been married twice, to model Maggie Johnson (they wed in 1953, split in 1964 and divorced in 1984) and to TV news anchor Dina Ruiz (from 1996 until their 2014 divorce).
His other long relationships included those with stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis, Oscar-nominated actress Sondra Locke (they were domestic partners for 14 years and made six movies together), flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves and actress Frances Fisher (they were together for five years and did four films together).
And although Eastwood — who is also father to kids Laurie Murray, 70, Kimber Lynn Eastwood, 60, Kyle Eastwood, 56, Alison Eastwood, 52, Scott Eastwood, 38, Kathryn Eastwood, 36, and Francesca Eastwood, 30 — has been a prolific figure on Hollywood for more than six decades, he’s remained quiet on the inner workings of his life.
Prior to meeting the longtime Carmel-by-the-Sea resident, Eastwood had two high-profile marriages. He married model Maggie Johnson in 1953, and TV news anchor Dina Ruiz in 1996. After his matrimony with Ruiz ended in 2014, the actor and director started dating Sandera that same year. He also dated a flight attendant named Jacelyn, as well as actress Frances Fisher, whom he dated for five years.
