Christina Sandera, the longtime partner of Clint Eastwood has passed away. She was 61 years old.

“Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” the 94-year-old Eastwood said in a statement to the Carmel Pine Cone newspaper on Thursday.

The cause of death has not been revealed.

The couple reportedly met in 2014 while Sandera worked as a hostess at the Oscar winner’s Mission Ranch Hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California and started dating after that.

In June of 2014, Daily Mail obtained photos of the two grocery shopping at Whole Foods in L.A.

While the actor and director kept his relationship with Sandera pretty quiet, they did appear on red carpets together.

Their first public appearance was at the 2015 Oscars when Eastwood’s movie “American Sniper” was up for six awards, according to PEOPLE magazine.
