Clint Eastwood’s son Scott gives emotional update on father, 94, after death of his partner Christina Sandera

Clint Eastwood’s son Scott has given an emotional update about his acting icon father six months after the death of his longtime partner Christina Sandera.

Hollywood icon Clint, 94, dated Sandera, 61, for a decade before her tragic death from cardiac arrhythmia in July 2024.

Scott, 38, shared People from his father: ‘He is good. He’s doing well. He’s a survivor, a go-getter.’

When asked what he had learned about resilience from his father, he replied: “It’s in our blood. You don’t complain. You don’t whine. You just do that.’

He added that the star was “born during the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle. There is no room for complaining.’

Scott – whose mother is Jacelyn Reeves – said he would like to work with his ‘inspiration’ of a father again after small roles in Gran Torino and Invictus, saying: ‘Every time I’ve ever had the chance to work with my dad to work, it has been a great experience.’

The Longest Ride star is currently starring in the spy thriller Alarum with Sylvester Stallone, who he calls a “badass.”

Sandera’s death certificate showed she died of cardiac arrhythmias, which cause the heart rhythm to become too slow, fast or irregular, a Monterey County Health Department representative confirmed.

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease was cited as an additional condition that led to her death.

It occurs when deposits of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances build up in the artery walls, causing the blood vessels to harden and narrow, restricting blood flow throughout the body.

When the plaques rupture, they form a blood clot that can block blood flow more dramatically, resulting in a heart attack or stroke.

“Christina was a sweet, caring woman,” the Oscar winner said in a statement The Hollywood Reporter. “I will miss her very much.”

A Warner Bros spokesperson told the outlet that no further information would be provided regarding Christina’s death as Clint wishes to grieve privately.

He and Christina had been together since 2014 after meeting while she was working as a hostess at Clint’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

They made their red carpet debut at the 2015 Academy Awards and although they led relatively private lives, Christina was a regular plus-one with Clint at his red carpet events.

She was also close to his large family and in 2018 accompanied three of his eight children, as well as his granddaughter and first wife Margaret Johnson, to the premiere of his film The Muse.

Million Dollar Baby’s director is dad Laurie Murray, 70, Kimber Lynn Eastwood, 60, Kyle Eastwood, 56, Alison Eastwood, 52, Scott, Kathryn Eastwood, 36, and Francesca Eastwood, 30, and Morgan Eastwood, 27.

He has always kept his family out of the spotlight and for good reason.

“There are other people involved and they are vulnerable people,” the Oscar winner said CBS News in 2004.

“I can protect myself, but she can’t.”
