Tom Selleck has stated that he is not gay. He has been married to a woman, Jillie Mack, since 1987 and the two of them have a daughter together. Before that, Selleck was married to Jacqueline Ray from 1971 to 1982.
Rumors surrounding Selleck’s sexuality stem from a 1991 news article published by the tabloid The Globe , which claimed that the actor was gay. Selleck subsequently sued the newspaper for libel, and the issue was settled out of court with The Globe issuing a public apology and retraction. Selleck noted, “I am as proud of my sexual preference as those who happen to be gay are of theirs,” affirming that he is straight. Until Selleck shares otherwise, it’s probably best to not speculate any further on his sexuality.
