The brood, the dad and the ugly break-ups! Clint with six of his children by four mums
IT can be difficult to arrange a family gathering at the best of times, so consider the problems for Clint Eastwood.
The 87-year- old veteran actor and director has seven children by four different women and his tangled love life has involved acrimonious bust-ups.
But six of his children were happy to share the red carpet for the premiere of his latest film.
Kyle, Alison, Scott, Kathryn, Francesca and Morgan were at the Warner Brothers Studios in Los Angeles on Monday evening for a showing of The 15:17 To Paris, which is based on the true story of three Americans who stopped an Islamist terrorist attack on a train in 2015.
Kyle, 49, and Alison, 45, are the product of Eastwood’s relationship with his first wife, model Maggie Johnson. He fathered Scott, 31, and Kathryn, 30, with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves, with whom he had a secret relationship while living with actress Sondra Locke.
Francesca, 24, is Eastwood’s daughter from his relationship with actress Frances Fisher, while Morgan, 21, is the only child he had with his second wife, Dina Luiz, which ended in divorce in 2014.
The siblings are often seen at events together but missing was daughter Kimber, 52, the result of an affair with dancer Roxanne Tunis during Eastwood’s marriage to Miss Johnson. Her existence was not even acknowledged until 1989.
Eastwood is currently dating Christina Sandera, 52, a restaurant hostess. Despite enjoying a string of high-profile relationships, he has had only two wives.
He was still an unknown actor, when he married Miss Johnson, a former swimwear model, in 1953.
And it was not until 1996 that Eastwood married again – to Miss Ruiz, a TV presenter. The pair divorced after a year-long custody battle.
Eastwood’s most notable relationship was with Miss Locke. It lasted 11 years but ended in acrimony in 1989. She accused him of being a cruel man with a vile temper who dumped her by locking her out of the home she believed he had given her.
Eastwood lived briefly with British-born Miss Fisher after they met on the set of the action comedy Pink Cadillac. The couple are believed to have split in 1993 and Miss Fisher went on to play the mother of Kate Winslet’s character in Titanic.
Eastwood’s children have followed him into the film industry.
Kathryn is an actress and writer, while Scott is also an actor and model, appearing in films and one of American pop star Taylor Swift’s music videos. Francesca has had TV roles and a small part in the 2014 remake of Jersey Boys, which her father directed. Kyle had a role in Eastwood’s film Honkytonk Man but has made more of a mark as a jazz musician.
