He then had two children with Maggie — Kyle and Alison Eastwood. Clint filed for separation from Maggie in 1978 but they did not divorce until 1984. Clint began a relationship with actress Sondra Locke in 1975. The pair lived together for 14 years, all while Sondra was legally married to her gay husband.

In 1990, he began living with actress Frances Fisher. Their daughter, Frances Fisher-Eastwood, was born in 1993.
