Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood turned 90 last week, and it’s now been revealed that he’s filled with joy at being surrounded by his family, as he is the father to eight children and grandfather to many more.

A source close to the family told Closer Weekly that Eastwood “keeps in touch with all eight of his children and their families.”

“He’s taken great comfort that at this time of his life, all his kids are close,” the insider added.

Eastwood is also “very happy” with his 56 year-old girlfriend Christina Sandra, who he has been dating since 2014, when he met her while she was working as a hostess at the restaurant at his Mission Ranch Hotel.

“He’s truly happy with her,” the insider said. “She’s fun, easygoing and his kids like her, too. She’s on an even keel like he is.”

Though Eastwood is now at an advanced age, he remains in very good shape, and he enjoys eating, cleaning, and working out often.

“He eats healthy and has a private chef who cooks high protein, low-fat cuisine for him,” the source explained. “He exercises every day, with weight training, and he still does push-ups?!”

This comes one month after Eastwood’s son Scott revealed how they would be celebrating the actor and director’s 90th birthday.

“We’re going to do just a family thing,” Scott said, according to Daily Mail. “Very, very calm, very mellow. He doesn’t really like birthdays.”

Scott, an actor himself, added that they might “sneak a cake in” for him.

“He probably won’t like it, but we’ll put one in,” he said.

Eastwood has previously said that he stays mentally sharp by practicing meditation.

“I do it twice a day, and it works great because it gives you a chance to gather your thoughts,” he told GQ in a November 2009 interview. “I’m religious about it when I’m working.”

One of the main things Eastwood has said he has learned over the years is to be “honest” with himself and “trust” in his instincts.

“I always feel that if I examine myself too much, I’ll burst the bubble,” Eastwood said. “I’ve gotten so lucky relying on my animal instincts, I’d rather keep a little bit of the animal alive.”

He also shared the most important lesson he’s learned in his career.

“You’re given one shot, and you should do the best you can with it,” Eastwood explained. “In the end, you’ve just got to be happy with what you’ve done. There you are.”
