In March 1996 news reporter and anchor Dina Ruiz, 30, married Clint Eastwood, who at the time was 66.

During a subsequent interview Dina was asked if their difference in age bothered her. Clint quipped, “Hey, if she dies, she dies.” He and Ruiz divorced in 2013.

The following year the 84-year-old Eastwood began seeing Christina Sandera, then 51, whom he met while she was working as a hostess at the Mission Ranch Hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. They were seen together at several events over the subsequent decade.

It was announced today that Sandera has passed at age 61. Eastwood is 94. No explanation has been offered about why she died.
