Marriage With Clint Eastwood
Maggie Johnson became famous after she married Clint Eastwood. Prior to their marriage, she was a swimsuit model. She met the actor on a blind date and began a serious relationship with him soon after. Eastwood was yet to become internationally famous at the time of their marriage but was already on the way to become a superstar. His career thrived over the ensuing years and he became notorious for his womanizing ways as well. Maggie often came into the limelight for the wrong reasons due to her unfaithful husband’s womanizing ways.
After putting up with his philandering for three years, she realized that he was not going to change and filed for a divorce. Their divorce was finalized in 1984. Since then, she has been living a secluded life away from the media glare. Her public appearances are also few. She was recently seen walking the red carpet during the premiere of the movie ‘Invictus’, which starred her ex-husband. She was also seen at her daughter’s wedding, which was also attended by Eastwood, in 2013. However, it was reported that the former couple didn’t pose together and are not on talking terms.
