“Exploring Tom Selleck’s Close-Knit Family: Meet His Three Siblings”
Tom Selleck’s rugged good looks, deep voice, and on-screen charisma have made him a beloved figure in Hollywood for decades. Known for his roles in “Magnum, P.I.,” “Blue Bloods,” and numerous iconic movies and TV shows, the 79-year-old actor has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.
Yet, beyond his public persona, Tom Selleck is also a devoted family man, and his close-knit family has significantly influenced his real-life character. In fact, a photo of his family even appeared on Thomas Magnum’s bedside table in “Magnum, P.I.”
Tom’s steadfast support system includes his three siblings: brothers Daniel and Robert, and sister Martha.
Robert Selleck
Robert, the eldest sibling born in 1944, is two years older than Tom. When Tom was born, their father, Robert Sr., was serving as a mechanic in the U.S. Army, so the family lived with their grandparents for a time. Upon returning to Detroit, the Sellecks eventually moved to California to start anew. Unlike Tom, Robert preferred to stay out of the limelight. He carved out a successful career in real estate, following in their father’s footsteps, who was a notable real estate investor and executive.
Martha Selleck
Martha, the only daughter, chose a more private life as well. Born after Robert, she became an educator and has been involved in various charitable and community initiatives. Although she rarely speaks publicly, Martha has shared touching memories about their father, particularly after his passing. She recalled his strength and positivity, which left a profound impact on her. “His strength really was an example of how he lived his whole life,” she said. “He just never complained.”
Daniel Selleck
The youngest sibling, Daniel, born in 1950, also pursued a career in real estate. He established a successful business in Southern California and has been a respected figure in the industry. The Selleck family’s involvement in real estate continued with projects like The Plant, a $100 million development in Van Nuys, where Tom, Dan, and Robert all contributed.
Tom has often spoken fondly of his upbringing and expressed gratitude for his parents’ influence. “I have a typical American success story,” he remarked while accepting his Horatio Alger Award. “My life has had its challenges. Certainly, nothing was handed to me. But with hard work and perseverance, I was able to achieve my dream.” He credits his parents for instilling in him the core values of determination and integrity, which have guided him through various stages of his life.
