It’s been six months since Clint Eastwood’s longtime girlfriend Christina Sandera, who he dated for ten years, died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 61. Now, Clint’s son Scott, a famous actor in his own right, is opening up about how his 94 year-old father is handling her passing now.
Scott Gives Update About Clint
“He’s good. He’s doing good,” Scott, 38, told People Magazine. “He’s a survivor, a trouper.”
Eastwood is now 94 years old.
Scott went on to say that he has learned how to be resilient from his father.
“It’s in our blood. You don’t complain,” he explained. “You don’t whine, you just do.”
Scott added that Clint “was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle.”
“There is no room for complaining,” he stated.
Clint Struggles With Christina’s Death
Christina died of a heart attack at the end of July.
“Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” Clint said at the time.
In October, an insider close to Clint claimed that the Hollywood star was struggling to come to terms with Christina’s death.
“Clint is having a hard time dealing with all the recent lows in his life,” the source told Daily Mail at the time. The insider added that Clint is “pretty sad about losing his girlfriend three months ago. To say he is feeling down is a gross understatement.”
Clint and Christina had lived together for many years prior to her passing. Given their 33 year age difference, Clint was likely never expecting to outlive her.
“He was really in love with her and they got along well,” the source continued. “He would tell his pals that he wished he had met her much sooner like when he was in his 30s…he wanted more time with her.”
“[Clint] loved Christina because there was no drama with her, she was so easy to be with,” the insider explained. “She didn’t want to become a reality TV star and she was not an actress. There was no agenda at all and he appreciated that. A lot of women Clint has been with wanted something from him, but Christina didn’t.”

Clint And Christina’s History
Clint and Christina met back in 2014 when she was working as a restaurant hostess at his hotel, the Mission Ranch, in Carmel, California. She moved into his home in Carmel-by-the-Sea City months later, and they had been together ever since.
They kept much of their relationship private over the years, though Christina frequently appeared on the red carpet with Clint at his movie premieres. She first walked the red carpet with him at the Oscars back in 2015. That night, his hit movie American Sniper was up for six awards.
Clint and Christina never married, and they never had children. Clint has been married and divorced twice. He is also the father of eight children by six different women.
