Legendary actor Tom Selleck, beloved for his roles in Magnum, P.I. and Blue Bloods, has revealed a heartfelt truth about his personal life. In a rare and candid interview, Selleck confessed that his “true love” has always been his wife of over 35 years, Jillie Mack. The couple, who married in a private ceremony in 1987, have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight. Selleck shared that their bond is built on mutual respect, shared values, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life, crediting Mack as the anchor that keeps him grounded.

Selleck, now in his late 70s, also spoke about the importance of balancing his successful career with family life. “The love we share is what gives me the strength to face any challenge,” he said. Fans have praised his enduring commitment to Mack, describing their relationship as a testament to the power of love and partnership. In an industry known for fleeting romances, Selleck’s heartfelt confession is a refreshing reminder of the beauty of lifelong devotion.

Tom Selleck has opened up about his time on Friends and has revealed that he had no idea that he would end up being such a big part of the series until the very last minute

Tom Selleck cherishes the memories from his stint on Friends, describing the experience as “lovely.”

The 79 year old Hollywood veteran, famous for his role as Dr. Richard Burke—Monica Geller’s suitor on the series—gushed to Parade magazine: “People talk to me about my role on Friends all the time. It was a lovely experience, something I didn’t see coming. ” He shared how it started with a leap of faith without a script in hand, recalling: “They just explained this idea and you had to make a leap of faith. They didn’t have a script or anything.”

His brief gig unexpectedly extended, he added: “I remember I was supposed to do three shows, and on the third show at the table read, somebody said, ‘Oh, that’s right, this is your last show. I wish you could come back.’ I said, ‘Well, nobody asked me.’ So that turned into ten shows.”

When quizzed about returning to comedy, Selleck eagerly responded: “I would love to do another comedy. The right kind of comedy.” Selleck emphasized his fondness for humor mixed with heart, stating” “Friends made people laugh and cry at times. That’s the kind of comedy I enjoy doing. Three Men and a Baby had that, too.”

Currently gracing screens as Frank Reagan in CBS’s Blue Bloods, Selleck entertains the idea of venturing into a spin-off, though he awaits any formal proposals, confessing his affection for his current character and the absence of offers from the network.

Tom, known for his role in the 2007 crime TV film Jesse Stone: Sea Change, remarked: “I’m open to suggestions because I love Frank Reagan, but nobody’s really asked. I don’t see him retiring and going off somewhere. If he goes off to a small town, I’d rather do more Jesse Stone movies.”

The last Jesse Stone movie was released in 2015 and the possibility of another film is still up in the air. Last year Tom told TV Insider: “It wouldn’t be a final one because everybody loves it. Jesse is a great character, and it would be fascinating to find out where he is quite a few years later. But I need to regroup; I don’t know what’s next, but assuming the phone doesn’t stop ringing, I’m going to keep working.”
