Last week, we reported that the legendary Hollywood star Clint Eastwood, 94, was in mourning after his longtime partner Christina Sandera died at age 61. Now, Eastwood’s youngest daughter Morgan, 27, is speaking out to pay tribute to Sandera.
Eastwood’s Daughter Mourns Sandera
“A devastating loss for our whole family,” Morgan wrote on her Instagram Story on Sunday. “Thank you Christina for being a good partner to my Dad. You will be missed.”
This came after Eastwood himself paid tribute to Sandera, who he had been with since 2014.
“Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
No cause of death for Sandera has been shared at the time of this writing. A spokesperson for the Hollywood movie studio Warner Bros. said that Eastwood will not be commenting on her death again publicly. Instead, he will be grieving for her in private.
Eastwood and Sandera first met back in 2014, when she was employed as a hostess at his Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Northern California.
Though they kept their relationship private, she frequently accompanied him on the red carpet to his movie premieres over the course of the next few years. She first walked the red carpet with Eastwood at the Oscars in 2015. That night, his hit movie American Sniper was up for six awards.
Sandera would go on to join Eastwood on the red carpet for his movies Sully in 2016, The Mule, in 2018, The 15:17 to Paris in 2018 and Richard Jewell in 2019.

Eastwood’s Romantic History
Prior to his relationship with Sandera, Eastwood was married twice. He was first married to the model Maggie Johnson from 1953 to 1964, although they did not finalize their divorce until 1984. He then married the television news anchor Dina Ruiz in 1996 and remained with her until they divorced in 2014.
Eastwood has also had longterm relationships with the late Oscar-nominated actress Sondra Locke (they were domestic partners for 14 years and made four movies together) and the Titanic actress Frances Fisher (they were together for five years and did four films together, too). In addition, Eastwood had longterm relationships with the late stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis and the flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves.
While Eastwood and Sandera never had children together, he has fathered eight kids by six different women. Sandera appears to have never had children, and she was only married and divorced once.
Sandera reportedly had a close relationship with Eastwood’s children. A source previously told Daily Mail that the children liked her because they thought she was a “normal” person.
“Clint’s kids have all met Christina and like her,” the source said.

Eastwood Is Still Working At 94
Despite being 94, Eastwood is still working. He recently wrapped filming on his last movie as a director, Juror No. 2. Though this will reportedly be Eastwood’s final film, he previously said he’d never retire.
“What the hell am I still working for in my 90s?” he told The L.A. Times in 2021. “Are people going to start throwing tomatoes at you? I’ve gotten to the point where I wondered if that was enough, but not to the point where I decided it was. If you roll out a few turkeys, they’ll tell you soon enough.”
This is clearly a very difficult time for Eastwood and his entire family. Please join us in saying a prayer for them as they grieve Sandera!
