Clint Eastwood is one of the oldest living filmmakers in Hollywood, having been hard at
work for well over half of a century since his beginnings in the 1950s. The legendary star has
appeared in and directed a vast number of films, but his impressive filmography is very nearly
matched by the lengthy list of females that he has hooked up with over the course of his lifetime.
Join Facts Verse as we take a look at every woman Clint Eastwood dated or hooked up with.
Margaret Johnson The first woman we’ll
be taking a look at is Margaret Johnson, better known as Clint Eastwood’s first wife. Though Clint
certainly had romances before meeting and marrying Margaret,
she marks the first prominent woman that he had a relationship with during his adult years.
The two met in the summer of 1953 after being set up on a blind date by mutual friends.
Margaret was working as a secretary at the time, and Clint was hard at work becoming a star.
Clint and Margaret met and married in 1953, and they didn’t get divorced until 1984. Over the
course of their three-decade marriage, the two had a pair of children together, with their names
being Kyle and Alison Eastwood. Although Clint and Margaret were married for three decades, that
doesn’t mean that Clint stayed dedicated to the mother of those two kids the entire time! Clint
and Margaret reportedly maintained an open marriage, with Clint engaging in numerous affairs
during the years that they were together. The pair became legally separated in 1978 before divorcing.
Jayne Mansfield There are many, many women that Clint
Eastwood was rumored to have engaged in extramarital relations with during his marriage
to Margaret Johnson. The first woman that Clint has been rumored to have relations with is Jayne
Mansfield. Though the rumors have never been substantiated,
it has been claimed that Clint and Jayne hooked up in 1954 while Clint was a fledgling star.
Mamie Van Doren If the affair between Clint Eastwood
and Jayne Mansfield was just a rumor, the affair between Clint and Mamie Van Doren could be seen
as a verifiable fact. The two met while filming Star in the Dust, and they quickly hit it off.
Roxanne Tunis
Roxanne Tunis is another woman that Clint Eastwood was known to have engaged in an
extramarital affair with during his marriage to Margaret Johnson. The two met in 1959 while
they were working together on the hit television series Rawhide. The affair between the two went
on to last for many years, with the pair being romantically linked until 1973. During
the period of their affair, Clint and Roxanne had a daughter by the name of Kimber in 1964.
Anita Lhoest While Clint Eastwood was
cheating on his first wife Margaret Johnson with dancer and stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis,
he was also having an affair on Roxanne Tunis with a professional
swimmer by the name of Anita Lhoest. Clint and Anita were romantically linked from 1959
until 1960, during which time Anita became pregnant and got an abortion.
Keely Smith Jazz singer Keely Smith is yet another
figure that became tangled in burgeoning star Clint Eastwood’s tangled web of affairs during
the 1960s. The pair became romantically linked for a short period of time in 1961.
Jill Banner From 1964 to 1965, Clint Eastwood had an
affair with cult actress Jill Banner, who later married Marlon Brando and died tragically young
at the age of only 35. Nowadays, Jill is best known for performing in the 1967 film Spider Baby.
Catherine Deneuve In 1966, it was reported
that Clint Eastwood was having an affair with a French actress named Catherine Deneuve,
known for her work in films such as Belle de Jour.
Inger Stevens Over the course of the 1960s, Clint Eastwood broke
out into international superstardom thanks to his appearances in a variety of Spaghetti Westerns.
Later in the decade, he returned to America and featured in the 1968 American revisionist
Western film Hang ‘Em High, in which Clint costarred alongside the beautiful actress
Inger Stevens. Clint couldn’t help himself from starting yet another affair when he began working
with the actress, becoming romantically involved with her for a full year starting in June of 1967.
Jean Seberg A year after the release of Hang ‘Em High,
Clint Eastwood could be seen in another Western during the filming of which he had hooked up
with his female costar. That film was 1969’s Paint Your Wagon, which also happened to be
a musical! Clint got to stretch his musical chops in the film, which is perhaps how he
won the heart of costar Jean Seberg. The two hooked up while filming the feature in 1968.

Gael Greene While most of the
women that Clint Eastwood has hooked up with since becoming a superstar have been fellow celebrities,
Gael Greene represented a change of pace for the actor. Gael was sent to interview
Clint while he was filming the 1970 feature Two Mules for Sister Sara. They met in 1969,
and the affair lasted until a year later, in 1970.
Jo Ann Harris In 1970, Clint Eastwood
began a long-lasting affair with actress Jo Ann Harris, whom he had met while filming
the feature The Beguiled. The affair would last from 1970 until 1972, making it one of
the longer affairs that Clint was involved in during his first marriage to Margaret Johnson.
Cathy Reghin In 1971,
Clint Eastwood was cheating on his first wife with Roxanne Tunis, Roxanne Tunis with Jo Ann Harris,
and Jo Ann Harris with Cathy Reghin. At the peak of Clint’s virility,
it appears that the actor needed four women in order to keep him satiated,
though Clint appeared to only have needed French model Cathy for a small period of time in 1971.
Sondra Locke The affair between
Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke remains one of the most scandalous that Clint has ever been
involved in, thanks to the drama that ensued in the proceeding years. The two began dating in
1975 after meeting on the set of the film The Outlaw Josey Wales. They ended up remaining
together for many years, though they were never married. Clint and Sondra remained romantically
involved until 1989. However, it has come to light in recent years that this relationship
wasn’t necessarily a very happy one. According to Sondra, Clint forced her to get two separate
abortions over the course of their relationship. Clint also quite literally ended up leaving
Sondra out in the cold, locking her out of their shared residence and getting rid
of all of her belongings in the process. Sondra ended up suing Clint Eastwood twice as a result
of their tumultuous relationship, though they settled out of court.
Megan Rose While Clint was
having a hard time with Sondra Locke and needing a break, he found solace by having
an affair with a Hollywood story analyst by the name of Megan Rose. It was Megan who introduced
Clint Eastwood to the script that would eventually become Unforgiven, though it
was known simply as The William Munny Killings at the time. Their affair lasted from 1983 to 1987,
and Clint would go on to film Unforgiven and release it to immense acclaim in 1992.
Jamie Rose Megan Rose certainly wasn’t the only person that
Clint became romantically involved with behind Sondra’s back. In fact, Megan wasn’t even the
only person that he did so within 1983, and whose last name was Rose! Clint also became
entangled in an affair with actress Jamie Rose that year,
after meeting her on the set of the feature film Tightrope.
Jacelyn Reeves Jacelyn Reeves is another person that Clint
cheated on Sondra Locke with. Clint and Jacelyn became involved in 1984. The pair actually ended
up having a couple of children together, with their names being Scott and Kathryn.

Clint Eastwood was also romantically linked to model Barbara Minty in 1989.
Barbra Streisand Barbra Streisand represents a third person
Clint dated after breaking up with Sondra Locke in 1989, with her being the most famous of the bunch!

while filming Pink Cadillac and the two became romantically involved for a number of years.
They separated in 1995, before which time they had a daughter by the name of Francesca in 1993.
Dina Ruiz
Clint Eastwood started dating Dina Ruiz while he was still living with Frances Fisher,
and the much younger woman would go on to become Clint's second wife. The two married
in 1996 and didn't divorce until 2013. In 1996, Clint and Dina had a daughter named Morgan.
Erica Tomlinson-Fisher While preparing to divorce
his second wife, Clint Eastwood began dating a photographer by the name of Erica
Tomlinson-Fisher. They dated from 2012 to 2014.
Christina Sanders Finally, the last person that Clint is known to
have hooked up with is Christina Sanders. Slightly older than both of Clint’s previous hookups but
still more than three decades the legendary actor’s junior, Christina was a hostess working
in Clint’s town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, when Clint came in and asked her out on a date.
