Tom Selleck Has Been Married For 35 Years – Still Leaves His Wife Love Notes!
Love Can Last—Even in Hollywood
We’re used to hearing about Hollywood breakups, aren’t we? One week it’s a shocking split, the next it’s another “amicable” divorce. It can make anyone question whether love can survive the spotlight. But some couples prove that it can.
Just look at Tom Selleck and Jillie Mack. Married for 35 years (yes, you read that right), they’re living proof that a strong, happy marriage is possible—even in an industry where relationships often don’t make it past the red carpet.
35 Years and Counting: Meet Tom & Jilly
Long before it became trendy to gush about celebrity couples like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Tom and Jillie were quietly building a life together. They’ve weathered the ups and downs of Hollywood while keeping their relationship grounded—and full of sweet, simple traditions.

According to friends, Tom and Jillie agreed early on never to let arguments spiral. As one friend shared, quoting Tom himself:
“We decided long ago that fighting was a waste of time. If we had a difference of opinion, we’d sit down over tea or a meal and talk it through.”
It’s a refreshingly straightforward approach: Instead of shouting matches, they make time to talk—over something as comforting as a cup of tea. And humor helps, too. That same friend revealed,
“Jillie has a great sense of humor, so our talks often end with both of us laughing. And laughter really is the best medicine.”
