Meet Hannah Selleck

Hannah Margaret Selleck was born on December 16, 1988, and grew up on her parents’ avocado ranch in Ventura County, California. 

She fell in love with horses at a young age, spending much of her early years learning to ride. 

Hannah went on to become an accomplished equestrian. In 2023, she said: “I started riding when I was four years old. I grew up on a ranch and was lucky to have some lovely ranch horses. My dad knew how to ride; he had learned to ride for Western movies. He is a good horseman.”

She attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles from 2007 to 2011, and graduated with a degree in communication studies.

Tom Selleck has been married to Jillie Mack for nearly four decades.

The couple met at the height of Tom’s fame while she was performing in the musical Cats. Jillie was an English West End dancer, whom Tom fell in love with and ended up watching the show a further eight times.

They married in 1987, soon after he quit filming Magnum, P.I. to focus on building their family.

“I’m a fairly private person,” he told People in 2020. “And I’ve always treasured the balance between work and time with my family. It’s always about them.”

He did return to acting but kept a focus on his wife and children.
