    Everyone knows and loves Tom Selleck for his expert portrayal of New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, who is also considered the head of his family. With children and grandchildren to share his wisdom with, Frank is a busy man.

    But Selleck has his own family bloodline to worry about in real life! He has two children: his son, Kevin, whom he shares with ex-wife Jacqueline Ray, and Hannah, whom he shares with current wife Jillie Mack.

    I'm a fairly private person . And I've always treasured the balance between work and time with my family. It's always about them,” Selleck shared.

    He shared a rare photo on Father’s Day 2019 of he and his sons. “#HappyFathersDay to the millions of other lucky guys (like myself ) who have the honor of calling themselves a dad and sharing in the most important responsibility that a man will ever have in his lifetime — fatherhood.”

    I’m not sure anyone — and I could be wrong in this — grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom… But I felt 100 percent that I could do this… now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”
