“Christina was a kind, caring woman and I will miss her dearly,” Clint Eastwood confirmed of his girlfriend’s death. He and her family do not want to release more information and wish to grieve in private.
Eastwood and Sandera met in 2014 at a restaurant where Christina Sandera worked as a hostess. Since then, she accompanied the Oscar-winning director to film premieres and award ceremonies, but they kept their relationship private.
They first appeared in public hand-in-hand in 2015, two months after Eastwood’s divorce from wife Dina, 59, was finalized. He married her in 1996 and has his eighth child, daughter Morgan (27), with her.
From his first marriage to Maggie Johnson, whom the actor married in 1953 and divorced 31 years later, he has a son, Kyle (56), and a daughter, Alison (52). He has a daughter, Kimber (60), with dancer Roxanne Tunis, whose existence Eastwood only learned about in the 1990s. He has two more children – son Scott (38) and daughter Kathryn (36) – with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves, and he also has a daughter Francesca (30) with colleague Frances Fisher.
