talking about Tom Selleck REVEALS Why His Kids HATE Him.. if you’re excited to learn more about this then make sure you watch the whole way through because you don’t want to miss the details we have for you! Tom Selleck Reveals Why His Kids Hate Him Tom Selleck, the iconic actor known for his roles in “Magnum P.I.” and “Blue Bloods,” has recently opened up about a deeply personal and surprising aspect of his life: his troubled relationship with his kids. So far, Selleck hasn’t shared details about his kids in public. So what secret is he hiding? His son faced challenges with drug addiction in the past, while his daughter has ventured into owning a horse breeding enterprise. Who are they and what’s the full story behind the Selleck family?
Tom Selleck has been in the spotlight for over five decades, and he’s sure transformed since his early appearances on “The Dating Game” in the mid-1960s. After nabbing his classic role in “Magnum P.I.” in 1980, he — and his famous mustache – solidified their place in Hollywood. As one of the biggest TV hunks of the ’80s, Selleck amassed an impressive net worth, but his marriage to his second wife, Jillie Joan Mack, soon took precedence.
Selleck saw and fell in love with Mack while she was performing in a 1983 London production of “Cats,” and they tied the knot in 1987. The following year, they welcomed daughter Hannah who joined Selleck’s adoptive son, Kevin, from his first marriage to Jacqueline Ray. It was around 1987 that he quit “Magnum P.I.” to focus on his growing family. As he told People in 2020, he’s “a fairly private person” who has “always treasured the balance between work and time with my family.” At the end of the day, “it’s always about them” and so, he quit the series to focus on them and enjoy a “three-dimensional life.” That penchant for privacy is a trait he seems to have shared with his kids, who have largely stayed out of the limelight. Here’s everything we know about Tom Selleck’s two kiddos.
Hannah Selleck’s parents encouraged her to find her passion
Hannah Selleck has been riding horses since the age of 4, and she has her parents to thank for discovering her passion. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, she shared how they “encouraged me to try all different things,” but never pushed her to pursue something she didn’t enjoy. Soon, ballet and horse-riding took center stage, and at 14, she chose to focus on the latter as “my love was with the horses.” Her parents were all for it because “they just wanted me to find something I was passionate about. They wanted me to find my love and pursue that,” she explained.
However, while she pursued her amateur horse-riding career, Hannah also studied communications at California’s Loyola Marymount University. It wasn’t until she graduated in 2011 that she realized she wanted to be a professional rider instead. Again, her parents were on board. As she told Palm Beach Illustrated, after graduation, “my father said he would help support me,” but there was a condition: “I had to turn professional, letting go of my amateur status, and work for top professionals in the sport in order to learn my craft.” That’s exactly what she did, and it helped her find happiness — and validation. Noting that her parents tried to “raise me as normally as possible, given my dad’s line of work,” she shared how riding has “been a great way for me to have my own accomplishments outside of whatever my parents had done.”

Hannah Selleck began competing at the age of 10, and she’s since become an award-winning international show jumper. She won her first gold medal at the 2008 North American Junior and Young Rider Championships and went on to numerous Top 10 finishes in grand prix events across North America and Europe. However, riding isn’t her only equine passion. In 2010, Hannah launched Descanso Farm, which Equestrian Living calls a “boutique breeding and training operation.” As she explains on the farm’s website, she “recognized an opportunity and a need for top quality hunter/jumper sport horses produced within the United States” and seized it.
Dad Tom Selleck was all for it. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Hannah shared how he “encouraged it a lot” because “he liked the idea of developing the babies and developing young horses.” In fact, it seems he was the one who sparked the idea in the first place. Hannah won her first grand prix back in 2010 while riding a horse named Tosca van het Lambroeck. When Tosca retired, it was the actor who asked her, “Why don’t you try and breed her and produce your own [future mount]?” That’s exactly what Hannah did, and she hasn’t stopped breeding horses since. “We want to show that we can produce horses in the States,” she told Equestrian Living. Explaining her mission, she added, “We don’t want to just get the horse to the ring quickly; I want to make it right so that it has a long caree
An accident nearly forced Hannah Selleck to give up her passion
Hannah Selleck is an award-winning rider, successful entrepreneur, and occasional model, but while she swears “horses will always be part of my life,” she was almost permanently sidelined from competing due to a nasty fall. Speaking with Palm Beach Illustrated, Selleck revealed that she’s had “many” broken bones over the years, but that she never required surgery — until 2018. While competing in Calgary, Selleck’s horse failed to make its jump, instead turning unexpectedly. Her magnetic stirrups should have automatically released but didn’t, and her foot became stuck. The result was a broken tibia and fibula, which required six hours of surgery and months of rehabilitation. As Selleck shared with Modern Luxury Palm Beach, her recovery wasn’t guaranteed, and “being told that I might not run again was pretty intense.”
However, she needn’t have worried, as she was able to return to competing in 2019. During her seven-month absence, she did traditional physiotherapy and also “worked with an energy healer” doing “a lot of guided meditations and visualizations.” She shared how she’d imagine herself and her horse “in a protective white light” and it worked: During her first competition back, she placed second. “I consider myself to be very lucky with injuries in this sport,” she told Palm Beach Illustrated. What’s more, being forced to take time off had a silver lining. “For the first time, I feel like it’s given me more balance in life,” she explained, noting how athletes “always have goals and sometimes we forget to enjoy life.”
