Oscar-winning actor Clint Eastwood is mourning the loss of his longtime girlfriend, Christina Sandera, who passed away on July 19. Sandera, 61, died of a heart attack, with contributing factors including cardiac arrhythmia and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, according to the Monterey County Health Department.
Eastwood and Sandera had been together for the past decade. In a touching tribute shared through the Carmel Pine Cone newspaper, Eastwood described Sandera as a “lovely, caring woman” and expressed how deeply he will miss her.
Their relationship began shortly after Eastwood’s nearly 20-year marriage to his second wife, Dina, ended. The couple, who kept their romance largely private, initially met when Sandera was a hostess at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California—a place that became a cherished retreat for them.
Eastwood’s daughter, Morgan Eastwood, also paid tribute to Sandera, writing, “A devastating loss for our whole family. Thank you, Christina, for being a good partner to my Dad ❤️. You will be missed.”

Sandera was a constant presence at significant moments in Eastwood’s life, including their first public appearance together at the 2015 Oscars, where Eastwood’s film American Sniper was nominated for several awards. She also supported Eastwood at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017 and attended the premiere of his film The Mule the following year, highlighting her role in both his personal and professional life.
Despite her association with a high-profile figure, Sandera preferred to remain out of the spotlight.
