The unfortunate news of Clint Eastwood’s longtime girlfriend, Christina Sandera, passing away at the age of 61 was revealed by the actor himself. In a statement to the Carmel Pine newspaper, Eastwood expressed his sadness, stating, “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.” No details regarding the cause of death were provided in the statement.
Sandera led a private life and kept her relationship with Eastwood away from the public eye. Reports emerged that the couple met in 2014, shortly after Eastwood’s divorce from his ex-wife, Dina Eastwood. Sandera worked at the Mission Ranch Hotel, one of Eastwood’s properties, where she and Clint connected. The couple maintained a low profile, occasionally appearing together at events. Their last public appearance was at the AFI Fest in November 2019, displaying a strong bond and affection for each other. Despite limited information about their romance, it was evident that they shared a deep connection, leaving Eastwood to mourn the loss of his companion.
Revelations About Christina Sandera’s Past
Christina Sandera preferred a low-key existence during her time with Clint Eastwood. However, details of her past surfaced not long after she began dating Eastwood. Reports from 2015 disclosed that before her relationship with Eastwood, Sandera had a past involving a domestic battery arrest with her ex, Paul Wainscoat.
In 2003, prior to their marriage, Wainscoat accused Sandera of attacking him. Despite no charges being pressed, a similar incident occurred after their wedding. Wainscoat contacted authorities alleging domestic violence. The couple eventually divorced, with Wainscoat criticizing Sandera as an alcoholic and gold-digger. Sandera denied these allegations, and her tumultuous past did not affect her relationship with Eastwood.
Contrary to her previous experiences, Sandera and Eastwood shared a harmonious relationship. In 2020, an insider described their bond to Closer, stating, “He’s truly happy with her. She’s fun, easygoing and his kids like her, too. She’s on an even keel like he is.” Their relationship appeared to be a stable and supportive partnership that surpassed their past challenges.
