Christina Sandera, Clint Eastwood’s longtime partner, passed away at 61. They began dating in 2014 after meeting at Clint’s restaurant, Mission Ranch. Clint’s son, Clancy Eastwood, said, “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.” Clint, 94, is grieving privately and will not release further details.

Christina and Clint shared a decade-long relationship, often appearing together at events like the 2015 Oscars and Cannes in 2017. Despite the age difference, they had a strong bond, though Christina maintained a private life and rarely discussed their relationship.

Clint continues to work on his latest film, *Criterion No. 2*, his 40th as a director. Christina’s loss is deeply felt by Clint and those close to her.
