Clint Eastwood’s love life has been as dramatic as his film career. His most recent loss, the passing of his longtime companion, Christina Sandera, at 61, marks a somber chapter in his storied personal history.
Eastwood’s romantic life spans decades, beginning with his first wife, Maggie Johnson, whom he married in 1953 amidst a series of extramarital affairs that would define much of his relationships. His 14-year affair with stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis resulted in the birth of their daughter, Kimber, while his relationship with actress Sondra Locke, starting in the mid-70s, became infamous for its bitterness and legal battles.
Eastwood’s romantic entanglements continued to generate headlines with affairs, secret children, and high-profile breakups. Despite the turbulence, he has maintained a cordial rapport with some of his past partners, often reflecting his personal complexities and shifting allegiances.
