Tom Selleck’s first wife is being compared to Jillie Mack, with many calling her “much prettier.” Apart from the two women, the veteran star’s personal life, relationships, and choices have shaped who he is today.

Selleck first rose to fame through his iconic role in the hit television 1980 series, “Magnum P.I.” At the height of his career, the actor and film producer chose to leave the show to focus on his family, having realized how stifling fame could be.

He admitted that, while he understood what public life entailed, he didn’t feel suited for it. Selleck explained that he left not because he disliked the series but because he was exhausted and craved a more well-rounded life.
His brief hiatus turned into years when he found the roles being offered weren’t appealing. During this period, he faced rumors of his career being over but used the time to gain perspective.

In the 1990s, Selleck returned to acting, taking roles on “Friends” and “The Closer,” as well as starring in the “Jesse Stone” TV movies, before landing the role of Frank Reagan on “Blue Bloods,” alongside Donnie Wahlberg.

It was through his acting career that Selleck met actress and “Magnum P.I.” co-star Jillie Mack in 1983 while she was performing in the musical “Cats” in London. The two married in August 1987 and welcomed their daughter, Hannah Selleck, the following year.

Selleck has often expressed his appreciation for the deep friendship he shares with his wife, noting that Mack’s sense of humor is one of the things he loves most about her.

The actor, a self-described private person who values balance, stated, “I’ve always treasured the balance between work and time with my family. It’s always about them.”

When he’s not filming “Blue Bloods” in New York City, Selleck spends his time at home with his wife, Mack, on their ranch in Ventura, California. Reflecting on what grounds him, the TV star shared, “My relationships and my ranch keep me sane.”

Selleck is the epitome of a devoted family man. His wife, Mack, their daughter, Hannah, and his adult son, Kevin — whom he shares with his ex-wife — are always his top priority.

Selleck’s second marriage to Mack followed after his first marriage landed on the rocks. He married former actress and model Jacqueline Ray in May 1971, with whom he co-starred in “Magnum P.I.” However, their relationship started to unravel after several years.

In a March 1982 interview, Selleck opened up about their separation, which began in 1979 after ten years of marriage. “It’s one of the great sorrows of my life that we can’t be together—I’d always planned to be married for the rest of my life,” he shared.

Despite living apart, he emphasized that they remained close and had not pursued a divorce. He also expressed sadness about being away from Kevin, Ray’s son from a previous marriage, whom Selleck called “the only child I have.”

Selleck strongly rejected rumors that their separation coincided with his rise to fame. “That’s the cliché, that’s the meaty story: Spouse Dumps Spouse After She Gives Him the Best Years of Her Life. But it’s not true, and it’s not nice, or fair, or kind,” he said, clarifying that their separation occurred “a full six months before I even shot the pilot of Magnum.”

Selleck revealed that his personal struggles influenced his role in “Divorce Wars,” where he played a lawyer going through a difficult separation. He acknowledged that while the role drew from his own experiences, it didn’t offer him any emotional release.

Additionally, Selleck admitted that his uncertainty about his life kept him from pursuing serious relationships. He explained that he was cautious about getting deeply involved while still figuring things out, even warning some women he dated that if he didn’t call for days, it wasn’t due to lack of interest but because he was “a flake.”

The Emmy Award winner and Ray finalized their divorce in August 1982 after 11 years of marriage. Now, decades later, some AmoMama users are drawing comparisons between Ray and his current wife, noting similarities in their appearance.

Someone else admitted, “I didn’t know he had a first wife,” adding, “I’ll have to say his first wife is prettier.” “First wife is beautiful. His current wife is pixie cute,” noted one user. Although some people believe Selleck’s first spouse is more visually appealing, others noted their resemblance. “They look very similar to each other so does it really matter?” penned one user.
