Clint Eastwood’s daughter Morgan calls Christina Sandera’s death a ‘devastating loss’
Clint Eastwood’s daughter paid tribute to her father’s late partner, Christina Sandera, after her unexpected death at age 61.
“A devastating loss for our whole family,” Morgan Eastwood wrote over a photo from her wedding day that featured the Oscar winner and Sandera on her Instagram Story Sunday.
“Thank you Christina for being a good partner to my Dad ❤️ you will be missed.”
Clint, Sandera and his seven other children had been on hand to witness Morgan, 27, marry Tanner Koopmans in June; however, only the legendary actor had the honor of walking his daughter down the aisle.
Clint, 94, shares Morgan with his ex-wife Dina Eastwood, to whom he was married from 1996 to 2014.
The “Million Dollar Baby” star announced to the Hollywood Reporter last week that his “loving, caring” partner had died.
“I will miss her very much,” he said in a statement.
The couple had been together since 2014 when they met while Sandera was working as a hostess at Clint’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif.
They made their red carpet debut at the 2015 Academy Awards.
Although the pair lived a relatively private life, the “Bridges of Madison County” actor often brought Sandera as his plus-one to red carpet events. She also grew incredibly close with his large family.
In 2018, Sandera joined Clint’s entire brood — including three of his kids, his granddaughter and his first wife, Margaret Johnson — at the premiere of his film “The Mule.”
Two years later, the “Gran Torino” star’s son Scott Eastwood revealed the whole bunch planned to celebrate his milestone 90th birthday.
“We’re going to do just a family thing,” Scott, 38, said. “Very calm, very mellow. He doesn’t like birthdays. He’s just sort of like, ‘I don’t want to do birthdays … We’ll sneak a cake in there, definitely. He probably won’t like it, but we’ll put one in.”
