Main priority

Despite the glaring fact that marriages don't last in Hollywood, Tom Selleck and Jillie Mack, who celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary recently, have managed to write a different script for their union.

Despite being in the spotlight, this couple did not allow the game and fairytale life of Hollywood to get to them or ruin their relationship. Their love for each other keeps waxing strong day after day. So, you might want to ask: "What's the secret to having a long-lasting marriage?" Let's take a page out of Tom's playbook - for one, it's family above all!

For most people in the showbiz world of Hollywood, it's kinda hard to differentiate their fantasy from reality, but Tom Selleck is an exception. Once the acting is done and over with, Tom takes off his mask and heads straight home to be a loving husband and doting father to his kids, Kevin and Hannah Selleck.

Apart from putting family first, Tom Selleck has a strong belief system. He believes in God and strongly thinks that's another factor to having a long, lasting and fulfilling marriage.
