Tom Selleck Finally Opens Up About Love — And His Answer Left Fans Speechless

Tom Selleck has spoken warmly about his nearly four-decade marriage to actress Jillie Mack. In a 2014 GQ interview, Selleck said his love for Mack had become “deeper” and “simpler,” describing them as true partners.

Their relationship began in the 1980s after they met while Mack was performing in Cats in London’s West End. They married quietly on August 7, 1987, and have a daughter, Hannah.

One particularly revealing story came from Selleck’s 2024 interview with PEOPLE: their wedding nearly went off the rails because they had forgotten the marriage license. The minister ultimately drove to Reno to sort it out, allowing the ceremony and dinner to go ahead. Selleck recalled it as an adventure he wouldn’t trade.

And in his memoir You Never Know, Selleck described reading his writing to Jillie and becoming unexpectedly emotional—another glimpse of how important his family life is to him
