Clint Eastwood and ex-wife 'swap partners'

THINGS just got a little murky in the split between Clint and Dina Eastwood.

The couple split in June after 17 years of marriage, and Dina Eastwood has since been linked with her old university friend and former Perth Wildcats basketballer and coach Scott Fisher (who played and coached in the NBL in Australia).

Nothing odd about that, except Clint Eastwood has recently been spotted out with Fisher’s ex-wife Erica Tomlinson-Fisher. (Wife Swap, anyone?)

Both Fisher, 50, and Dina Eastwood grew up in Fremont, Califoia. They both attended Mission San Jose High School in Fremont.

On Twitter, the former Wildcats star and coach who won NBL titles with the WA team in 1995 and 2000, follows only 92 people. Among them are Dina, her daughter Morgan and stepdaughter Francesca Fisher-Eastwood.

When asked for comment by a US magazine, Dina Eastwood said, "I am saddened to see photos of Clint with Ms Tomlinson-Fisher. I look forward to new beginnings."

Later, she did a complete about face, tweeting, "I don’t like reading negative things about Clint. He is a wonderful, good natured, brilliant person. No matter what, I attest to that," adding, "I usually don’t believe in ‘karma’ for people who target others with evil intentions, but, I sure hope it exists now."

Former news anchor Dina married the screen legend in 1996 after the couple met during an on-air interview.

Most recently, she and her daughters starred in the reality show Mrs. Eastwood and Company (not surprisingly, Clint Eastwood didn’t want a bar of it).

Clint Eastwood has not commented publicly on the split.
