The first came in May 2017, when a fake news site reported that Eastwood died at his Brentwood home due to natural causes. However, Snopes.com, a website renowned for debunking celebrity death hoaxes, came to the rescue confirming that Eastwood was alive and well.

About a month later, in June 2017, another fake news emerged that Eastwood had died of a heart attack. Reported by a fake website, CNN-Global News made to look like the American Cable News Network (CNN), the news immediately went viral as many could not immediately tell the site was fake.

The now defunct fake site went so far as to impersonate a few celebrities, using their names to create fake Twitter accounts in which they dedicated messages of condolence to Eastwood. Some of the celebrities included Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, however, after comparing with their real Twitter accounts, the difference was clear.

During his high school days in Oakland, teachers at Eastwood encouraged him to do drama which he shied away from until 1955 when he returned from his stint with the US Army.

He made his debut in an uncredited role in “The Creature’s Revenge” (1955). Eastwood’s big break didn’t come until 1958, when he landed the role of Rowdy Yates on the CBS series Rawhide.

Eastwood first established himself as an overseas filmstar in Italy after starring in ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ (1967) portraying the character ‘the man with no name’. He reprized his role in the subsequent sequels, “For a Few Dollars More” and “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.” “

Wife, girlfriend, children

Eastwood has had many women in his life, so the number of children he has cannot be determined. Even Eastwood himself isn’t sure. When asked in a 2004 interview how many children he had, the actor replied; “I have a few.” However, about 7 of Eastwood’s children have been legally recognized.

A habitual womanizer, Eastwood found it difficult to stick to just one woman. After meeting Margaret Neville Johnson on a date in Los Angeles, Eastwood made Maggie his first wife 6 months later on December 19, 1953, in Pasadena.

However, while Eastwood and Maggie were still dating, Eastwood reportedly fathered a child with a woman in Seattle. This child would have been given up for adoption.

Maggie who was a model didn’t seem to have enough to satisfy Eastwood as he entered into an affair with dancer-actress Roxanne Tunis whom he met on the set of his hit series ‘Rawhide’. Clint and Roxanne had one child, a daughter named Kimber Eastwood who was born Kimber Tunis on June 17, 1964.

Although Maggie split from Eastwood the year Kimber was born, the media never heard of Eastwood’s baby girl until 1989.

While he remained estranged from Maggie, Eastwood continued his romance with Roxanne. Maggie and Eastwood later reconciled in the late 1960s and decided to start a family together. They had two children; Kyle Eastwood (born May 19, 1968) and Alison Eastwood (born May 22, 1972).

Despite Eastwood’s reunion with his first wife, he remained unfaithful to her and in 1978 they separated again with Maggie filing for legal separation, however, they remained legally married until their divorce was finalized. in 1984. Maggie reportedly received between $25 million and $30 million for spousal support.

Events leading up to their separation included Eastwood’s relationship with actress cum director Sondra Locke whom he met in 1972. They starred together in The Outlaw Josey Wales (1975) and lived together while filming the film. Locke was also married at the time, although her husband was living with his gay partner somewhere in West Hollywood.

Eastwood and Locke went on to star in a string of movies like The Gauntlet, Every Which Way But Loose, Bronco Billy, and more. However, their relationship was not as perfect as their admired on-screen chemistry – Locke had to undergo two abortions for Eastwood who, while living with her, began an affair with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves with which he fathered two children; Scott Eastwood (March 21, 1986) and Kathryn Eastwood (born February 2, 1988).

Eastwood and Locke’s split was a long and messy court battle that ended in 1996 after Eastwood’s out-of-court settlement.

The lawsuits against Locke did not allow Eastwood to explore with women. In 1990 he began a relationship with actress Frances Fisher whom he met on the set of the 1988 film Pink Cadillac. Their relationship lasted 5 years and produced a daughter, Francesca Fisher-Eastwood (b. 1993) .

Eastwood in 1995 began dating TV presenter DinaRuiz, 35 years younger than him. They had first met in 1993 when Dina interviewed him about his film “Unforgiven.” Their relationship gained a lot of attention following their marriage on March 31, 1996. She would become the second woman Eastwood would be legally married to after his divorce from Maggie Johnson.

Their daughter Morgan Eastwood was born on December 12, 1996. Dina and Eastwood separated in 2013 and finalized their divorce in December 2014.

After Dina, Eastwood has been linked to several other women. In February 2015, he confirmed his relationship with Christina Sandera, 33 years younger than him.
