Clint Eastwood is "doing ok" weeks after Christina Sandera died aged 61.
Clint Eastwood is 'doing ok' after his wife Christina Sandera died last month
The iconic 94-year-old filmmaker is mourning the death of his longtime partner - who he was with for 10 years - after she passed away on July 18.
Asked how the family is coping after their tragic loss, Clint's son Scott Eastwood told E! News: "Everyone is great."
Asked about his father, the '1992' actor added: "He is doing OK. Thank you for asking."
Last month, Sandera's death certificate revealed she was killed by cardiac arrhythmia – which causes the heart’s rhythm to become too slow, rapid or irregular - with a representative from the Monterey County Health Department confirming the news.
Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease was cited as an additional condition that led to her passing.
It occurs when deposits of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances accumulate in artery walls, causing blood vessels to harden and narrow, which restricts blood flow around the body.
When the plaques rupture they form a blood clot that can block the flow of blood more dramatically, which can result in a heart attack or stroke.
A Warner Bros spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter no further information would be given on Christina’s death as Clint wants to privately grieve.
The Oscar-winner confirmed Christina had passed away in a statement issued on 18 July, in which he said: “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.”
He and Christina had been together since 2014 after meeting while she was working as a hostess at Clint’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
They made their red carpet debut at the 2015 Academy Awards and even though they lived a relatively private life, Christina was a regular plus-one with Clint to his red carpet events.
She was also very close to his large family and in 2018 joined three of his eight kids, as well as his granddaughter and first wife Margaret Johnson at the premiere of his film ‘The Mule’.
