Blue Bloods has kept audiences hooked for years with its blend of crime-solving and family drama, centered around the Reagan family of police officers in New York. While the actors share a strong bond on-screen, many fans are intrigued by the real-life relationships of the stars behind these beloved characters. Here’s a closer look at the partners of the Blue Bloods cast.
Tom Selleck and Jillie Mack
Tom Selleck plays family patriarch Frank Reagan and has maintained his status as a Hollywood heartthrob for decades. In real life, he has been happily married to actress Jillie Mack for over 30 years. The couple first met at a performance of the musical Cats, in which Jillie starred, and they quickly hit it off. They were married in a private ceremony in 1987 and share a daughter, Hannah, who has built a career as an equestrian.
Tom attributes their long-lasting relationship to Jillie’s independence. “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,” he shared with People. He fondly recalled her enthusiasm for life, mentioning how she once practiced roller skating before auditioning for Starlight Express while he was filming in Hawaii.
Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy
Donnie Wahlberg portrays the intense and dedicated Detective Danny Reagan and is married to actress, model, and TV personality Jenny McCarthy. The pair began dating in 2013 after meeting on The Jenny McCarthy Show, where Donnie was a guest. Their undeniable chemistry led to their marriage in 2014 in a romantic ceremony just outside Chicago.
The couple has blended their families beautifully, which includes Jenny’s son Evan from her previous marriage and Donnie’s sons, Xavier Alexander and Elijah Hendrix, from his former marriage to Kimberly Fey. They have made it a tradition to renew their vows every year. “We’ve had 10 vow renewals,” Jenny shared during an appearance on Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa. “Our pastor reminisces about the year and gives us a thing to think about as the year goes on. There is something nice about it.”
Bridget Moynahan and Andrew Frankel
Bridget Moynahan plays Erin Reagan, the committed Assistant District Attorney on Blue Bloods. She found love with businessman Andrew Frankel, and the couple tied the knot in 2015 in a private and elegant ceremony in the Hamptons, surrounded by close family and friends.
As the final season of Blue Bloods unfolds, fans are not only invested in the characters’ journeys but also in the real-life love stories that inspire them.
