At Almost 80, Tom Selleck And His Partner Are Still Together

Tom Selleck, a Hollywood icon, has captivated audiences for nearly six decades. Best known for his unforgettable roles in Magnum P.I.Three Men and a Baby, and Blue Bloods, Selleck embodies enduring charisma.

Born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, Selleck grew up in a close-knit family. Despite initially pursuing a business degree, he eventually traveled to California, where his passion for acting grew.

Selleck’s career took off in the 1980s when he landed the role of Thomas Magnum. His iconic mustache and laid-back persona made him a household name, earning him an Emmy Award.

Throughout his career, Selleck has managed to balance personal and professional problems. His first marriage to actress Jaclyn Ray ended in 1982, with suspicions that celebrity had damaged their relationship.

However, Selleck found lasting love with Jilly Mack, whom he married in 1987. Their private yet enduring relationship is a testament to navigating Hollywood’s glitz while maintaining genuine connections.

Tom Selleck lives a charmed life – and he admits it.

The Magnum P.I star – who has been happily married to Jillie Mack for more than three decades – has confessed that he’s never sent an email or a text.

So how has he gotten by? Tom revealed to People that he’s always had someone else to do it for him, and more often than not, it’s Jillie taking control of his communications.

“Occasionally I’ve looked up my name,” he explained. “That started really with the book, but I’ve never sent my own email. I had a secretary. I’ve never texted anybody.”

He said Jillie sends texts on his behalf and added: “I have a certain luxury where I probably couldn’t survive otherwise. But I don’t know. I have a hard time writing things down, which is weird for a guy who’s pushing a book.”

Tom was talking about his memoir, You Never Know, which is out in the spring.

While he admits his wife is behind his electronic messaging, he also loves her independence and credits her having her own life as one of the reasons their marriage has been a success.

“I don’t think the relationship would’ve survived with somebody who was basically eating, sleeping, and working. And Jillie’s a very active person, as you can see.” Tom told the outlet.

“I remember the first time she stayed in Hawaii. I mean, she’d visit the [Hawaii Five-O] set maybe late in the day, but only after she made my friend, Dave Muntz, take her to the roller skating rink so she could practice roller skating because she was going to audition to Starlight Express.”

Tom and Jillie share a daughter, Hannah, who they welcomed in 1988.

He is also a dad to his son, Kevin, who he adopted with his first wife, Jacqueline Ray.

Tom lives on a 63-acre avocado farm ranch in California’s Ventura County, with Jillie.

He adores his tranquil life but in recent years the grounds have been badly damaged by the droughts that have destroyed almost all of their avocado trees and 25 of their oaks, which had been standing for 100 years.

Speaking about the loss to People, Tom said: “That just breaks your heart…But with the rain we’ve had, the sick ones are getting better, and they’re all sprouting a lot of healthy growth.”

He described his favorite activities on the ranch as reading the morning paper and driving around on his ATV to check on the wildflowers. “I’ve planted them for years and they bloom in cycles,” he added.

“When it’s coldest, one of them blooms and then another one comes in. I know it sounds stupid, but I just watch them grow.”
