A LOOK INTO EASTWOOD'S EARLY CAREER

A legend of western cinema and one of the most prolific American actors and directors, Clinton Eastwood, popularly known by the shortened version of his name, was born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco.

Eastwood was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1950 and served as a swimming instructor before being discharged in 1953. He went for a screen test with Universal, and in 1955, he starred in "Revenge of the Creature" and "Francis in the Navy."

A LADIES-MAN WITH MANY MESSY RELATIONSHIPS

While he has enjoyed a successful career, Eastwood has also enjoyed a long history of relationships with some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.

Although he has only been married twice, he doesn't like to talk about his private life. Today, Eastwood seems to have found the love of his life.

His first historical love was born after a blind date with model Maggie Johnson. Six months after the first meeting, they married on December 15, 1953.

Ten years later, Johnson and Eastwood had separated because he was having an affair with actress-dancer Roxanne Tunis. They later reunited for a while until they officially divorced in May 1984.

In 1977, Eastwood began a relationship with his co-star Sondra Locke, who was also married. They moved in together and dated for 12 years before their highly publicized breakup.

Locke was also a producer, director, and talented singer. Their relationship was one of the most notoriously toxic relationships in Hollywood history.

At the same time he was with Locke, Eastwood had an affair with a flight attendant, Jacelyn Reeves, in the mid-1980s. The couple dated for a few years and kept their relationship a secret before calling it quits.

In 1990, Eastwood met the actress Frances Fisher on the set of "Pink Cadillac," struck up a romance, and they lived together for five years.

In 1993, he met the former TV news anchor Dina Ruiz when she interviewed him about his film "Unforgiven." They quickly started dating and were married in March 1996.

After their marriage, Eastwood felt it easy to remain monogamous because of his deep love for Ruiz. Unfortunately, in August 2013, Eastwood separated from Ruiz, and they were officially divorced in December 2014.

SETTLING DOWN WITH GIRLFRIEND 33 YEARS YOUNGER

In 2014, Eastwood met his current girlfriend, Christina Sandera, and the pair have been dating since then. With Sandera, he opted for someone who doesn't share his fame and constant spotlight.

Sandera worked as a hostess in Eastwood's property, the Mission Ranch Hotel, when they met. The pair quickly fell in love and started a relationship. In 2015, Eastwood and Sandera made their couples debut at the Oscars.

NOT MARRYING SANDERA, BUT SHE WON OVER HIS KIDS

Eastwood is still very happy with Sandera after more than seven years of dating, and because she's fun and easygoing, she's well-liked by his kids.

When Eastwood turned 90 in 2020, he reminisced on the great times he has had with his loved ones over the years and appreciates his time with Sandera, who did something special for him on his birthday.

However, no matter how in love they are with each other, he isn't interested in walking down the aisle for the third time because he doesn't feel compelled.

Eastwood says he doesn't need marriage, but that doesn't take away from how much he cares for Sandera. Together, they are seen as one of the sweetest couples.
