Morgan Eastwood calls Christina Sandera's death a 'devastating' loss
In a statement on Thursday, July 18, the 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' star revealed Christina Sandera's death. An official for Warner Bros. said, "Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much."
Morgan, 27, took to Instagram Stories on Sunday, July 21, to pay tribute to Eastwood's longtime partner, expressing her grief at the "devastating" loss.
She shared a picture of herself and her spouse Tanner Koopmans from their wedding, along with Eastwood, 94, and Sandera.
Morgan described Sandera's death at the age of 61 as "a devastating loss for our whole family. Thank you Christina for being a good partner to my Dad. You will be missed," per Fox News.
Sandera attended Morgan's wedding on June 15 at Eastwood's 22-acre estate in Carmel, California. The 'Million Dollar Baby' actor walked Morgan down the aisle, who is now expecting her first child, per the New York Post.
Clint Eastwood’s friends and family concerned about actor following Christina Sandera's death
Clint Eastwood and Christina Sandera kept their love private for the past ten years. It was reported that the two met in 2014 when Sandera worked as a hostess at Eastwood's Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Northern California.
Sandera was a longstanding resident of Carmel-By-The-Sea, California, and went to red-carpet events with Eastwood. The couple's final appearance together was the world premiere of Eastwood's film, 'Richard Jewell', in 2018.
Following Sandera's death, the Oscar-winning actor's inner circle is concerned that he would have to deal with his health issues on his own.
Several of the 'The Mule' star's friends believe that Eastwood is dealing with some health issues and remains in complete shock over the death of his longtime partner.
The last time the former mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea was spotted in public was during his younger daughter Morgan's June wedding. However, he didn't appear to be his usually well-groomed self.
Many of Eastwood's family members were concerned for his well-being because of his disheveled white hair and unkempt beard. They were also concerned about his waning vigor and increasing seclusion.
Eastwood apparently displayed a hunchback and has dropped a lot of weight, which could indicate a change in his stride, per Marca.
An insider revealed Eastwood lives a reclusive life in his Carmel house and is no longer the man he once was. Insiders hope he picks up new interests to help him deal with his partner's death.
Christina Sandera was previously married before she began dating Clint Eastwood
Christina Sandera was previously married to Paul Wainscoat in 2003 for a brief 11-month courtship. Their rocky marriage led to Sandera's arrest for domestic abuse.
In 2015, Wainscoat revealed to The National Enquirer that two months into their relationship in 2002, Sandera became furious with him for refusing to move in with her, and she "grabbed onto his shirt and scratched his neck to prevent him," per Daily Mail.
However, the pair eventually got married eight months later and Wainscoat claimed to have spent $80,000 on jewelry, the couple's honeymoon, and "dental work" for his wife.
The marriage ultimately broke down in June 2003, when Wainscoat claimed he was "being battered by his wife" to police who were called to another domestic disturbance.
