Christina Sandera, who was Clint Eastwood’s longtime partner, has sadly passed away at the age of 61.
The two met back in 2014 at Clint’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, where Christina worked as a hostess. Their relationship quickly blossomed, and they remained together for ten years.
In a heartfelt statement released Thursday night, Clint expressed, “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.”
Clint Eastwood, well known for keeping his private life under wraps, continues to grieve privately. A Warner Bros. representative has conveyed that Clint will not be releasing any further details about Christina’s passing.
Clint Eastwood’s personal history includes marriages to model Maggie Johnson from 1953 to 1987, and to news anchor Dina Ruiz from 1996 to 2004. He has also had high-profile relationships with prominent Hollywood stars like Frances Fisher and Sondra Locke.
Adding to his multifaceted life, Clint is a proud father to eight children. He recently celebrated walking his youngest daughter Morgan down the aisle at her wedding, a joyful family moment.
Clint’s children include Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Kathryn, Francesca, Kyle, Scott, and Morgan. Laurie, his oldest, was born in 1954, while Morgan, his youngest, arrived in 1996.
Despite their long relationship, Clint and Christina preferred to keep their romance rather private. Christina, in particular, shunned the spotlight, though she accompanied Clint to several major events, including the Academy Awards.
Clint once mentioned in a 2004 CBS News interview, “There are other people involved, and they’re at risk. I can protect myself, but they can’t.”
Though Christina and Clint had a significant 33-year age difference, they shared a deep bond and understanding. They were frequently spotted together around town, even running errands like grocery shopping as a pair.
Christina stood by Clint’s side at notable occasions such as the 2015 Oscars, the 2016 screening of Sully, and the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. He also attended the premiere of his film ‘The Mule’ in 2018 with some of his children, his first wife, and his granddaughter.
Looking ahead, Clint Eastwood is working on his latest project, ‘Juror No. 2,’ which is currently in post-production. This marks his 40th directorial endeavor, following his last release, ‘Cry Macho,’ in 2021.
