Children

Hannah Selleck (daughter)

Hannah Margaret Selleck, the daughter of two actors, chose a different path from her famous parents. Raised away from the spotlight on a ranch in Ventura County, California, she grew up surrounded by avocado trees and horses.

She started riding horses at just 4 years old and became a serious equestrian by her teens, eventually winning championships. While pursuing her passion for horses, she earned a degree in public relations.

Today, Hannah runs a boutique horse-breeding stable in Hidden Valley, CA, with some help from her dad, Tom Selleck. While acting isn’t her thing, she’s dabbled in modeling, including for the deodorant brand “Reviver.”

Kevin Selleck (Adopted son)

Tom Selleck adopted Kevin Shepard in 1971 after marrying his mom, Jackie Ray, and stayed close even after their divorce. Kevin had a tough youth, facing challenges like dropping out of school and struggling with addiction in his 20s.

Familiar with showbiz, Kevin acted in projects like Scream 2, but his real passion was music. He co-founded the rock band Tonic, which hit platinum with their debut album, Lemon Parade. Unfortunately, after a fallout with a bandmate, he left, and his music career fizzled out.

Despite life’s struggles, Tom has always been a rock for Kevin, who now calls his stepdad his superhero. Kevin is married to Annabelle Selleck, a wardrobe assistant.
