Dina taught Clint Eastwood love

Clint Eastwood has been quite the roving lover boy in his past. He has seven children from five different women but�insists that his marriage to newscaster Dina Ruiz has shown him what true love is! His wayward ways ended his marriage to model Maggie Johnson in 1984, but that did not curb his love hunt. In 1993 when Dina Ruiz interviewed him, she hit a chord. Three years later, they wed, and Clint claims that she gave his life new meaning.

He says, "Dina has opened me up as a person. Finally I have found someone who has allowed me to feel totally at ease. It's simply that nice feeling you get when you're sitting on your sofa having a drink and you look around and see your wife and daughter -- you know this is as good as life can be. I have waited a long time to experience that. Love is much stronger when one meets in the second half of one's life. It hits you when you least expect it." And Clint is all praise for the way Dina has brought together his ‘dysfunctional family’! "She has brought them all together. She doesn't have the usual resentment about prior relationships. She has befriended everyone so it keeps this dysfunctional family together."
