Morgan Eastwood's Parents
Morgan's parents Dina and Clint Eastwood, married in 1996 and for years managed to stay off of Hollywood's glare and would often be seen in Whole Foods aisles or taking Morgan to school. Their union was considered not only a marriage but a close friendship.
However, the close relationship started to dwindle when "Mrs. Eastwood and Company" came out, with sources claiming that Clint was uncomfortable and furious with the show. Clint, who prefers to keep his private life private, was uncomfortable with having himself or his kids appear on a reality show.
In 2012, it got so bad that Clint stopped wearing his wedding ring, and even though the two continued to live in their family home in Carmel, they were living in separate rooms of the house.
She was given up for adoption by her mother and would reconnect with her father about 30 years ago.
The marriage came crumbling by the end of 2012, with reports that Dina was leaning towards Scott Fisher, her high school sweetheart, who had just finalized his divorce from his wife of 10 years, Erica Fisher.
On learning about her ex's relationship with Dina, Erica reached out to Clint, and in a twist of events, the two started dating. Dina was so shaken by the events that she sought help from rehab for stress. She, however, continued to date Fisher.
In 2016, the two finally made their union official and married at Bacara Resort and Spa in Santa Barbra. They shared a series of their wedding photos, including one they took with their pet dogs, and promised their fans more pictures in the caption:
"Yep. They were our bridesmaids. Morgy was the maid of honor. More photos coming!"
Morgan Eastwood's mother is Dina Ruiz, and she's used to the spotlight as she has worked as a reporter and news anchor for years. The former news anchor was born in 1965 and graduated from Mission San Jose High School in Fremont, California.
Dina furthered her studies by going to San Francisco State University. She majored in Radio/TV at the institution and eventually graduated in 1988. She has had various roles in the media industry after working as a reporter and news anchor for several television stations.
She started her career in television by working as a news anchor for Ohlone College Television. She then became a reporter and anchor for KNAZ-TV before eventually ending up at KSBW as a news anchor.
Her parents met for the first time during an interview in 1993 and tied the knot a few years later on March 31, 1996. Soon after their daughter was born in late 1996, Dina retired from her job as a news anchor at KSBW to spend more time with her daughter Morgan.
The E! series "Mrs. Eastwood & Company" shows Dina attempting to advance the careers of a cappella boy band called Overtone. Dina discovered them in South Africa in 2008. The series also features her daughters, Morgan and Francesca.
Morgan's mom revealed in 2012 how her husband Clint didn't want to be filmed. She expressed that the actor and director didn't want to be "filmed when he is not volunteering to film."
Dina also said that if they are shooting for the series and Clint is at home, the actor "doesn't want the camera swooping over to him." She ended by saying they respected his wishes.
