Part 4/9:
Eastwood did not hesitate to stray from his vows, initiating affairs even before his marriage to Johnson. One of his earliest affairs led to the birth of his first acknowledged child, just weeks after saying “I do.” Over the years, Eastwood was linked to numerous women, including notable actresses such as Mamie Van Doren, Jean Seberg, and Catherine Deneuve. The list of lovers is extensive, showcasing Eastwood’s penchant for romance, but few of these encounters led to lasting relationships.
One significant affair was with Roxanne Tunis, a dancer and stuntwoman, which lasted over 14 years and resulted in the birth of his second child, Kimber, in 1964. This relationship was kept under wraps for many years, even from Eastwood's wife, further complicating his romantic history.
