Tom Selleck’s personal life has continually been under scrutiny due to the fact that he has been a famous actor for a long time, having shot to popularity in the 1980s.
Although he has avoided scandals for the most part, he was once the subject of some intriguing whispers when a fellow celebrity moved into his neighborhood. When the Blue Bloods actor and Sophia Loren broke up, what occurred exactly? Read on to discover…
In the 1980s, Tom became somewhat of a Hollywood heartthrob after becoming famous in the popular police drama Magnum P.I. He marketed deodorant and red wine using his rugged good looks and was a perennial top-ranked man on the World’s Sexiest Men lists.
He wed Jacqueline Ray, his first wife, in 1971. Regrettably, they broke up a little over ten years after they started dating. Jillie Mack, an actress and singer whom Tom met in 1982, was his second marriage and he had greater success with her.
Tom tied the knot with Jillie in 1987.
The joyful couple received their first and only child together, a daughter called Hannah, in 1988, despite the age difference of fourteen years. They relocated to Dean Martin’s abandoned 65-acre property in Hidden Valley, California, the same year. Still, they had their share of problems as a married couple, particularly after an Italian bombshell moved in next door.
The 40-acre plot of land adjacent to Tom and Jillie’s was purchased by Sophia Loren and her husband, the film producer Carlo Ponti, in the 1980s. We don’t know how cordial the neighbors were, but Tom’s wife made fun of him for taking advantage of the situation to pursue the actress and model.
Tom reportedly had Jillie’s blessing to have an affair with the beautiful actress, but only under specific conditions, as reported by The Telegraph.
Sophia Loren was a famous actress and star on a global scale
“It had to unfold in this exact manner,” he clarified. “What if, while I was making my way to Home Depot, she was standing on the driveway in her bathrobe and asked me, ‘Thomaso, would you like a cappuccino?'” I might be able to go inside.
Tom pointed out, nevertheless, that “but it never happened and she sold it.”
Sophia listed the ranch property for sale after she relocated away from California. The property is now owned by Jamie Foxx, who plays Tom in Django Unchained, although Tom has not yet met his new neighbor, according to Foxx. “He lives next door, but I have no idea how to greet him. Being famous people, we try not to bother anyone, so we don’t chat,” Jamie told Contact Music. Somehow, I need to say hello.
