Maggie Eastwood

Eastwood first met Maggie Johnson in May 1953 when she was a student at the University of California, Berkeley. His friend set Eastwood and Johnson up on a blind date — even though Johnson had a boyfriend at the time. Before moving to L.A., he fathered a child with another woman in Seattle. By the time he arrived in L.A. that fall, he was still dating Johnson, who had graduated college and moved in with her family in nearby Alhambra, California. The couple tied the knot on Dec. 19, 1953 — just a few months before his daughter Laurie Murray was born and placed for adoption, unbeknownst to Eastwood. The couple soon hit bumps in the road. Eastwood began an extramarital affair the late 50's that resulted in his second child, Kimber Lynn, born in 1964. The couple went on to welcome their own children: Their son Kyle Eastwood arrived in 1968 and their second child, Alison Eastwood, was born in 1972. The family eventually relocated to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, where they spent seven years building their dream home. It was there that the couple's marriage fell apart, amid rumors of Eastwood's affair with his costar Sondra Locke. In 1979, several years into Eastwood's affair with Locke, the couple officially called it quits. When they officially divorced in 1984, Johnson reportedly received a $25 million settlement. Since then, the pair have remained on good terms and stayed friends throughout the years. She was even by his side with their children when Eastwood was elected mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1986.
