Tom Selleck Talks About How He And His Wife Has Made Their Marriage Last So Long


There are always anomalies in every trend. This is one.

Anyone who has told you that all Hollywood marriages are doomed has obviously lied to you, because these two have had an enduring love story that is still going strong till this day.

Whenever you think of marriages between celebrities, you will most likely not think that any of them will be capable of lasting too long. However, there is one Hollywood couple that is currently breaking the trend of relationships that seem to come and go as fast as the celebrities themselves land roles in movies.

Dancer Jillie Mack and actor Tom Selleck recently marked the 30th anniversary of their wedding.

So what is the secret to the success of their marriage?

Well, for one thing, the both of them have learned to always put their family first.

“I actually left ‘Magnum’ because I wanted to start a family,” Said Selleck to People back in 2012 when he made the decision to quit the sensational show ‘Magnum P. I. ’ after his wife gave birth to Hannah, his daughter, in 1998.

“It has taken a long time for me to get off that train, but I do my best to kind of get a balance, and I’ve been able to do that thanks to this ranch,” he explained, making a reference to his home- which sits pretty on 65 acres of land in Ventura County, California.

Selleck has also acknowledged the parenting style of the couple as one of the factors contributing to the strength of their relationship all through these years.

In 1999, Selleck said to New York Daily News, “Jillie and I actually have a strong relationship. We hardly make any decisions or do anything without speaking to each other first. Also, if one of us makes a decision without considering Hannah, the other parent will completely be behind that decision, regardless of whether you agree with it or not”

Selleck first met Mack in London when he became a regular attendee of the production of ‘Cats’ by West End; a production in which she starred in.

Although the two of them have made their living as entertainers, they have tried their possible best to keep their privacy throughout their relationship. This started with their secret wedding back in 1987. In a surprise ceremony, both Selleck and Mack said “I do” under aliases at a 24-hour wedding chapel in Nevada.

Selleck said that only Polaroid photos were allowed at the wedding so that the press won’t be able to get any negatives.

As for their daughter, Hannah (who is now 28 years old), she is passionate horse rider and from what we can gather from her account on Instagram, she shares a striking aesthetic and physical similarity to her mother Jillie.

Even though Tinsel Town has had a bad reputation over the decades for producing some bad and short-lived relationships, Selleck and Mack are not the only star-studded couple who have been able to make it work for so long. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have also had a pretty long marriage (which has lasted up to 28 years now), then there’s Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, who have been together for 33 years. The latter have credited the strength of their love to avoiding marriage.

It might seem weird, but at least we know they’re together and there doesn’t seem to be any issue.

Cheers to all the happy Hollywood couples!

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

  Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...
