Clint Eastwood has lived a wholesome life. With a successful career in film and eight children that call him dad, he has had it all.
Today, he spends his time at his ranch with his girlfriend, 33 years his junior.
Clint Eastwood rose to indelible fame in the 60s after appearing in “Dollars Trilogy” as the man with no name. Since then, he has acted and directed numerous other films, and despite his advanced age, he still has not hung his acting coat.
While the “Changeling” actor is famous for his decades-long work in the industry, he is also known for his numerous public romances. In his tenure, the actor has been with many women, with all his romantic ventures ending up in breakups.

He has had many serious and casual relationships, which have varied in intensity and length with some overlapping. But who are these women who fell for his charms?
Eastwood first dated model Maggie Johnson in 1953. Unfortunately, despite their marriage lasting thirty years, they divorced in 1984. Nevertheless, their marriage was not all roses.

In between their thirty-year union, Eastwood had many other flings and forbidden romances with the likes of stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis between 1959 and 1973.
After ending his affair with Tunis, he met model Sondra Locke, and the two began living together in 1975. Nine years into their cohabiting situation, Eastwood officially divorced Maggie Johnson. However, during his relationship with Locke, he also dated flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves.

In the early to mid-1990s, Eastwood had a relationship with actress Frances Fisher. In 1996, the “Unforgiven” actor married his second wife, Dina Ruiz. Of all his relationships and marriages, Eastwood thought Ruiz was the woman who would truly make him settle down for good. He told The Independent, as ABC News reports:
“As far as I’m concerned, this is the woman I like monogamy with.”

Sadly, the couple split up in 2013 after 17 years of marriage. However, Eastwood would meet hotel restaurant hostess Christina Sandra a year later, and the two have been together since.
WHO ARE THE EASTWOOD KIDS?
The “Absolute Power” actor’s relationships and marriages have seen him become a father of eight with six women. Eastwood was unaware that his first child, Laurie Murray, existed until they reconnected when she was thirty. The identity of her mother remains unclear.
Born to Roxanne Tunis on June 17, 1964, Kimber Eastwood is the second Eastwood child and is a producer and makeup artist. Kyle Eastwood is the actor’s son with his first wife, Maggie Johnson. He is a bassist and part of The Kyle Eastwood Quartet band.
Alison Eastwood is Kyle’s young sister, born on May 22, 1972. She is an actress who made her screen debut in the 1980 “Bronco Billy.” She has also appeared in “Friends and Lovers” and “Poolhand Junkies,” among many others.
Scott Eastwood is the fifth and most known of the screen legend’s children. Born on March 21, 1986, he is the son of Jacelyn Reeves and has also followed in his father’s footsteps, appearing in “An American Crime” and “Trouble With The Curve,” to name a few.
Kathryn Eastwood is Scott’s younger sister, born on March 2, 1988. She is also an actress and screenwriter, and her acting credits include “American Virus,” “Virus of the Dead,” and “Banned, Exploited & Blacklisted.”
Francesca is Eastwood’s second youngest child and an actress and TV personality. She has appeared on “Jersey Boys” and the reality show “Mrs. Eastwood & Company.” Born in 1993, she is the product of Eastwood’s relationship with actress Frances Fisher.
The youngest of the Eastwood brood is Morgan, born on December 12, 1996, to Eastwood and his second wife, Dina Ruiz. Like her dad and most of her siblings, she is also an actress known for “Million Dollar Baby” and “Mrs. Eastwood & Company.”
Growing up with Eastwood as a father had both its perks and disadvantages. With a busy schedule, Eastwood was away for long periods. However, he would often drag his kids to movie sets.
And despite being “old school” in raising his kids, Scott would admit that he brought them up to be health-conscious from a young age. They have also grown up with integrity, thanks to Eastwood.

After his numerous failed relationships, Eastwood was lucky to find love again with Christina Sandra, 33 years his junior. For the first time, Eastwood chose to date someone that did not share his fame and constant spotlight.

Eastwood and the vivacious blonde met at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch Hotel, where Sandra worked as a hostess. They fell in love shortly after meeting in 2014 and have been together since.

While she was once involved in a messy divorce with her ex-husband, one that included domestic violence claims, there hasn’t been much drama in her life since she started dating Eastwood. The lovebirds are just over seven years of dating, and Sandra has won over the Eastwood children’s hearts. An insider told Closer Weekly:
“He’s truly happy with her. She’s fun and easygoing, and his kids like her, too. She’s on an even keel like he is.”

However, despite the mutual love and respect they share, Eastwood has openly declared that he won’t be officially marrying Sandra because, as a source would disclose:
“Clint doesn’t see any point in marrying again. He loves Christina, but marriage isn’t something he needs.”
WHERE DOES EASTWOOD CALL HOME?
Unlike many Hollywood stars who choose to make Los Angeles their home, the “Cry Macho” star decided to live “out there when he’s got all those acres.” He made the Mission Ranch, Carmel, his home and lives there with his girlfriend.

The ranch, built in early 1850, was almost falling apart when Eastwood purchased it. He has since done numerous renovations on the property, boasting thirty-one luxurious guest rooms, a renovated restaurant and bar, and the most scenic views in California. It also has a workout room and a tennis court.
But the ranch is not just someplace the actor found and purchased. When he was 21, and a recruit at the nearby Fort Ord, he was looking to grab a quick, cheap meal and a soda when he came across the ranch. However, it was not the breathtaking place it is today.
Before becoming a lowkey restaurant and hotel, it was a dairy farm and the Fort Ord officers’ club. And when he saw the place, he thought he’d like to make it his home.
