Getting Together With Jacelyn Reeves
Another one of Clint Eastwood’s many relationships is with Jacelyn Reeves. There are very little known details about their relationship, but some information did slip out. Reeves met Eastwood back in the 1980s when she was a flight attendant based in Hawaii and he was still involved with Sondra Locke.
The two reportedly met at the Eastwood-owned inn called the Hog’s Breath and soon enough, they started a relationship together. During this time period, the couple had two children — Kathryn and Scott, who were kept secret for decades until the mid-2000s. And as secrets go, that’s a pretty big one to keep for so long.
Quite Controversial
Sondra Locke and Clint Eastwood had different views on having children. Locke wanted to start a family, but Eastwood was not interested. During their relationship, Locke became pregnant twice, and both times, Eastwood reportedly pressured her to have an abortion. As a result, Locke eventually decided to have her tubes tied to prevent any future pregnancies.
This issue, along with Locke's marriage to Gordon Anderson, were among the primary reasons for the couple's eventual separation. Despite their differences, Locke and Eastwood continued to work together on several films together, although their relationship would be strained in the years to come.
Parting Ways
Although Eastwood and Locke were never officially married, their 14-year-long relationship was said to be monogamous (for the most part anyway) and committing. "I truly believed that Clint and I did not need papers to validate the commitments we had made to each other," said Sondra. But things changed for them.
They sadly parted ways in 1989, and while they were never married, their separation was a lot like legal divorce, with a palimony lawsuit that dragged on for a long time. It's amazing to think that Eastwood was able to juggle these marital issues while still staying so busy in Hollywood.
Leading a Double Life
When Locke found out about Eastwood's relationship with Reeves she was furious. One of the most divisive aspects of their relationship was the subject of having children. And while Locke had her tubes tied, she was livid thinking of him having children with another woman.
"My mind was still searching to get all his actions lined up," said Locke, "For at least the last four years, Clint had been living this double life, going between me and this other woman, and having children with her. Two babies had been born during the last three years of our relationship, and they weren't mine."
Relationship With Frances Fisher
It looks like Eastwood likes to have souvenirs from productions he's participated in, and that those souvenirs often include a female castmate. Yet another romantic partner of Eastwood's is actress Frances Fisher who first met him when they did the film "Pink Cadillac" together in 1989.
They had a secret, non-exclusive affair, but it became serious and public two years later. Fisher moved in with Eastwood in 1990, did another movie with him ("Unforgiven") in 1992, and they had a daughter together, Francesca, in 1993. While neither of them were married at the time, they never got married to each other.
