Clint Eastwood’s Girlfriend’s Cause Of Death Confirmed

Clint Eastwood’s longtime partner, Christina Sandera, passed away last Thursday at the age of 61. The Monterey County Health Department in California informed The Post on Tuesday that Sandera’s cause of death was a heart attack.

According to her death certificate, the immediate cause was cardiac arrhythmia, an irregularity in the heart’s rhythm. Additionally, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease was listed as a contributing factor.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) involves the arteries that supply blood to the heart becoming narrowed, usually due to atherosclerosis—a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque inside the arterial walls, reducing blood flow.

Sandera’s death certificate also noted her as a philanthropist.

“Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” Eastwood, 94, expressed in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. The spokesperson for the actor-director indicated that no further details regarding Sandera’s passing would be shared.

The couple, who began their relationship in 2014, first appeared publicly together at the 2015 Academy Awards. At that time, Sandera was working as a hostess at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

Eastwood has had two marriages and is the father of eight children with six different women. He first married model Maggie Johnson in 1953, but they separated 11 years later, finalizing their divorce in 1984. During their marriage, Eastwood fathered two daughters: Laurie, 69, with an unnamed woman, and Kimber, 60, with stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis.

With Johnson, Eastwood had two children: son Kyle, 56, and daughter Alison, 52. He later had son Scott, 38, and daughter Kathryn, 36, with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves.

Eastwood and actress Frances Fisher share daughter Francesca, 30. He married reporter Dina Ruiz in 1996, and they had daughter Morgan, 27. The couple separated in 2013, and their divorce was finalized the following year.

RIP.
