Christina Sandera, Clint Eastwood’s longtime companion and 33 years his junior, has passed away.
Sandera was 61 years old when she passed away. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Eastwood described Christina as a “wonderful and dear woman” and said he will “miss her greatly.”
Christina Sandera’s tight friendship with the famous actor’s family was a defining feature of their relationship, which began in 2014. She frequently attended Clint’s premieres accompanied by his children.
They first crossed paths in Monterey, California, where Sandera was working as a hostess at Eastwood’s hotel.
Clint rescued Christina from her violent ex-husband, according to news outlets abroad. He said she was the only lady to ever reject him due to his celebrity. But he had no intention of marrying her.
Prior to his engagement with Christina, Eastwood was wed to journalist Dina Ruiz from 1996 to 2014.
