Christina Sandera, who was Clint Eastwood’s longtime girlfriend, has died at 61.
“Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” Eastwood, 94, said in a statement released Thursday night, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A Warner Bros. spokesperson told the outlet that no further information would be forthcoming.
A cause of death was not announced.
The legendary actor and director was dating Sandera for over a decade.
The couple reportedly met when Sandera was working at a hostess at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
Their relationship began in 2014.
Sandera was not part of the entertainment industry, and their relationship was low-profile. However, she was a longtime Carmel resident –of which Eastwood was briefly the mayor, in 1986.
Sandera was a fixture by Eastwood’s side at numerous red carpets and awards ceremonies.
She attended the 2015 Oscars when “American Sniper” (which Eastwood directed) was nominated for 6 Oscars.
She also joined Eastwood on the red carpet for premieres including “Sully” in 2016, “The Mule,” in 2018, “The 15:17 to Paris” in 2018 and “Richard Jewell” in 2019.
The couple did not share children, but Eastwood has 8 children from prior relationships with 6 different women: daughters Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Kathryn, Francesca, and Morgan, and sons Kyle and Scott.
Before Sandera, Eastwood was married twice: to model Maggie Johnson from 1953 to 1984, and to news anchor Dina Ruiz from 1996 until 2014.
