Clint Eastwood, 93, doesn’t really need an introduction. The legendary actor has done all kinds of work, but he is best known as a film legend. Though, besides acting, he is also a family man with eight children, with his youngest, daughter Morgan Eastwood, now at age 26.
Morgan grew up in a quiet home far from the Hollywood spotlight, despite acting in some of her father’s films. Now, a new adventure awaits her, as she recently announced her engagement. So, what does she look like today?
Who is Morgan Eastwood, the youngest daughter of Clint Eastwood?
Growing up far from the Hollywood spotlight, Morgan had quite a normal childhood. Although there is not much information about her childhood, the youngest of Eastwood’s children graduated from Loyola Marymount University.
While she didn’t become a child actor like many other children of famous actors or actresses, she would get some minor roles in a few of her father’s films. For example, she starred as a young girl on a tricycle in the 2008 film Changeling and the 2004 hit movie Million Dollar Baby. Moreover, she also had a small role in the 2009 film Johnny Mercer: The Dream’s On Me, starring alongside Julie Andrews.
In 2012, the world would be introduced to Morgan Eastwood as she, her mother Dina, her step-sister Francesca, and Mr. Eastwood himself appeared on the E! reality series Mrs. Eastwood & Company. It followed their lives and a vocal group from South Africa, Overtone, which Dina managed.
In 2019, Morgan served as an executive producer for the short I See You, in which she also starred.
While having a lot of support from her parents, Morgan has also experienced some tough times. Speaking with TreatyMyOCD, the youngest daughter of Clint Eastwood revealed how she has had OCD almost her entire life but didn’t get diagnosed until her mid-20s.
“My mom often jotted down her thoughts about my cuteness and quirkiness in my baby journal. She documented how I, at age two, would throw tantrums when my layered shirt sleeves didn’t line up perfectly. Of course, I don’t remember those exact moments, but I understand my toddler-aged reasoning. Twenty-something years later, I’ll still want to bawl my eyes out if something doesn’t feel ‘just right,’” she said.

“This applies to many scenarios: the manner in which I clean something unsanitary, picking my face, rotate my left shoulder while seated or walking, or adjusting my knee so that it pops a certain number of times. Oh, and obsessively purchasing things that I believe I need at that moment. If I don’t find that ‘just right’ feeling, a sense of unease and panic builds up and pulses through my veins, leading me into what feels like is going to be a permanently petrified state of mind.”
“Acquiescing to discomfort is what helps me most on a day-to-day basis. Thoughts now pass through my mind, in one side and out the other, as quickly as they appear, and that’s extremely comforting,” Morgan continued, adding that now, in 2023, she has stopped seeing doctors to seek physical explanations of what is a very mental thing.
“I exercise, even though I’ve never loved to because I know it makes my brain and body genuinely feel good. I surround myself with the greatest support system I can imagine, and I am my most authentic self around my friends, family, and even people I meet on the street, I can laugh about my idiosyncrasies. This may be a lifelong journey, but if OCD wants to try to drag me along, I’ll at least try to pick myself up and run with it,” Morgan Eastwood told TreatMyOCD.
Besides having support from her parents and step-siblings, for many years, she has been getting the best support from her boyfriend, Tanner Kooopmans. On social media, Morgan often shares pictures of the two together and with her family, friends, and their beloved dogs.
Tanner graduated with a bachelor of arts in sociology and philosophy from Loyola Marymount University in 2019.
