Tom Selleck is a household name for fans of TV procedurals. Before he became the iconic New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods, Selleck was already a star as the lead in the original Magnum, P.I., where he played the charismatic private investigator Thomas Magnum. As a result of his long and successful career, many fans are curious about Selleck’s personal life, particularly whether he is married or dating. So, who holds Selleck’s heart off-screen? Keep reading to find out.
Tom Selleck married actress Jillie Mack in 1987, and shortly thereafter, he made a life-altering decision. Selleck left Magnum, P.I. at the height of its success to focus on starting a family and living a quieter life on a ranch in Ventura, California. Interestingly, before they tied the knot, Mack made several cameo appearances on Magnum, P.I., during Seasons 4 and 5, where she played minor roles, including an English girl at a party, a photographer on a boat, and a character named Sally Ponting. Despite these appearances, she never portrayed Magnum’s love interest on the show.
Mack has also made guest appearances on other TV classics like Frasier and ER, but both she and Selleck stepped away from the limelight to prioritize their family. “I’m a fairly private person,” Selleck shared with People in 2020. “And I’ve always treasured the balance between work and time with my family. It’s always about them.”
Their 1987 wedding was a closely guarded secret, with the couple going to great lengths to keep it private. They even planned the ceremony under the aliases “Tom Jenkins” and “Suzie Mark.” Their efforts paid off, as news of their Lake Tahoe, Nevada wedding didn’t break until a month after the event. The pastor who officiated the ceremony remembered the couple fondly, noting, “They were both nervous, like any other couple about to get married. He was very concerned that the service be heartfelt, very concerned for her that the service be meaningful. He is a very warm, caring man.”
Before marrying Mack, Selleck was married to actress Jacqueline Ray for 11 years. Their divorce was finalized in 1982.
Tom Selleck and Jillie Mack share a daughter, Hannah Margaret Selleck, who has made a name for herself as a decorated equestrian, competing at the international level in both hunter and jumper rings. Selleck also has a son, Kevin, whom he adopted during his first marriage.
On-screen, Selleck continues to lead the Reagan family as Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods, a show centered around a fictional family with deep ties to law enforcement. The cast includes Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez, and Vanessa Ray. Blue Bloods first premiered in 2010 and became a staple of CBS’s lineup. However, much to the disappointment of fans and cast members alike, the network canceled the long-running procedural in November 2023. The final episodes are set to air beginning October 18.
