Personal Life and Relationships

Clint Eastwood’s personal life has drawn considerable media attention due to his numerous relationships. His first marriage was to Maggie Johnson in 1953, after meeting her on a blind date. They separated in 1964 following reports of Eastwood's affair with dancer Roxanne Tunis, who gave birth to his first child. Despite their separation, Clint and Maggie briefly reconciled and had two children together. Maggie eventually filed for divorce in 1978, and the divorce was finalized in 1984, with a settlement reportedly valued at $25 million.

While still legally married to Johnson, Eastwood began a long-term relationship with actress Sondra Locke, which lasted 14 years. At the time, Locke was in a platonic marriage with a gay friend, which allowed her to maintain her legal independence. During their time together, she underwent two abortions and a tubal ligation—decisions made, according to her memoir, by mutual agreement. However, during this period, Eastwood also fathered two children with Jacelyn Reeves, a flight attendant he reportedly met at a social event.

Later Partnerships and Family Life

Following the end of his relationship with Locke, Eastwood entered a relationship with actress Frances Fisher. The couple had a daughter together, though they did not marry. In 1996, Eastwood married Dina Ruiz, a television news anchor, after meeting her in 1993. The couple had one child together before divorcing in 2014, citing irreconcilable differences.

During the later years of his marriage to Ruiz, Eastwood was reported to be in a relationship with Erica Tomlinson-Fisher, a woman over four decades his junior. Media reports speculated about a complex dynamic involving Tomlinson-Fisher’s ex-husband, Scott Fisher, who was an old friend of Dina Ruiz. Although neither party has publicly confirmed the full nature of these personal matters, this network of relationships generated widespread public interest during Eastwood’s divorce proceedings.
