Tom Selleck has long been one of Hollywood’s most recognizable leading men 
celebrated for his charisma, charm, and of course, his iconic mustache. Throughout his decades in the spotlight, fans and tabloids have often speculated about his romantic life. Below is a look at the relationships that have been reported over the years, from confirmed marriages to long-circulating but unverified rumors.
Jacqueline Ray (Marriage: 1971–1982)
Selleck’s first marriage was to model and actress Jacqueline Ray. The couple wed in 1971 and remained together for eleven years before divorcing in 1982. During their marriage, Selleck adopted Ray’s son, Kevin Shepard, and raised him as his own. This remains one of the few fully confirmed, publicly acknowledged relationships in his life.
Rumored Relationships and Reported Links
As Selleck’s fame grew, so did media speculation. Various outlets linked him to a number of high-profile women, though most of these connections were never verified:
-
Jaclyn Smith (1976) – Reportedly linked to the Charlie’s Angels star, though neither confirmed a romance.
-
Dana Delany (1980) – Rumors suggested a possible relationship early in the 1980s.
-
Jill St. John (1981) – Tabloids hinted at a brief involvement.
-
Neni Rogers (1982–1983) – Alleged post-divorce relationship, based largely on gossip reporting.

-
Cynthia Rhodes (1984) – Linked in tabloids but never acknowledged publicly.

These rumored connections have persisted largely due to tabloid interest rather than confirmed statements or evidence.
Jillie Mack (Marriage: 1987 Present)
Selleck’s most enduring relationship is with his wife, Jillie Mack, an English actress and dancer. The pair met in London during the 1980s and married in 1987. They share a daughter, Hannah, and have maintained one of Hollywood’s strongest and most private long-term marriages. Selleck has often credited Mack with helping create the family centered life he values.
The Bottom Line
While speculation has always followed Tom Selleck, the only fully confirmed relationships are his marriages to Jacqueline Ray and Jillie Mack. The various rumored romances from Jaclyn Smith to Goldie Hawn remain unverified and often rooted in Hollywood gossip rather than fact.
Despite decades in the public eye, Selleck has built a reputation for privacy, loyalty, and a grounded personal life qualities that set him apart just as much as the roles that made him a screen icon.
