Tom Selleck is perhaps one of the most loved actors in Hollywood. He has done a lot of roles over the years and has carved a permanent space for himself in the hearts of many Americans.

In his personal life, the actor has a full life which he spends in his home that he has lived in for many decades. Keep reading to learn all about Tom Selleck.

Tom Selleck has been living a rancher’s life for over 30 years in California. He lives at a ranch with his wife and has commented how it helps to keep him a little sane.

The actor was born in Detroit in January 1945 and joined the entertainment industry in the 1960s when he began to take small roles in television and films. It wasn’t until Magnum, PI aired that the actor experienced true fame and fortune. On the show, Selleck played Hawaii-based investigator Thomas Magnum for eight years. The role even earned him a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding lead actor.

The actor later played famous roles on shows like The Closer and Friends. He is also one of the stars of “Blue Bloods.” He stars on the show with Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, and others. The show has been now running for 13 seasons and is incredibly popular among fans.

While Selleck has enjoyed a lot of stardom, his career could have been even better than it is today. But the actor likes to keep a balance in his life and focus on his personal life as much as he does on his professional life. This is why the actor quit Magnum, PI in 1987.

The actor did not appreciate the amount of fame the series brought to him. While he liked his job, he was not always happy with the amount of attention his profession brought him. He once said, “I knew intellectually what it would mean in terms of being a public person, but until you’ve lived it, there’s no way to understand it.”

The actor shared that he quit Magnum, PI because he was tired “from it” and wanted a more fulfilling life. After quitting the show in 1987, he married his second wife Jillie Joan Mack. He said of his second wife how she could light up a room with her “joie de vivre” and “effervescent quality.”

Mack was a former dancer and actress from England. A year into their nuptials, the couple bought a ranch in Ventura, California. The ranch once belonged to Dean Martin. The property is said to reportedly have over 1,500 native trees.

Since Selleck has been shooting his show Blue Bloods for the last decade in New York, when he leaves, his wife Mack automatically takes the reins at the ranch. While she left her career behind, one of the couple’s friends pointed out that she was incredibly happy nonetheless since most of her happiness came from her animals, and they were always around her on the ranch.
