Tom Selleck & Jillie Mack – 34 Years

Tom Selleck was a 38-year-old divorcé filming in London when his coworkers realized that he had developed a fascination with the musical Cats. He spent the night at the West End, repeatedly reminding fellow Lassiter actress Jane Seymour how amazing the show was. It turns out that what he actually thought was amazing was 25-year-old Jillie Joan Mack, a high-energy dancer who played Rumpleteazer. Then, in 1987, fans and entertainment writers were surprised when they got hitched in secret. They welcomed their first and only child together, a daughter named Hannah, the following year. Selleck also has an adoptive son, Kevin, from his first marriage.

Tom is obviously very careful to reveal his private life to the media, instead of keeping his private life, well, private. It helped him preserve balance and enabled him to foster a loving atmosphere for his wife and family. By remaining low-key and out of the Hollywood spotlight while working, Tom has been able to give the ones he loves more of what they deserve: time. Even if it means rearranging any of the job commitments, time as an investment he will always say yes to.
