Slowing Down and Embracing a New Normal
After the curtain fell on the long-running hit series "Blue Bloods," Tom Selleck, the beloved actor who brought Frank Reagan to life, is adjusting to a slower pace. His wife, Jillie Mack, is by his side every step of the way, ensuring he doesn't miss a beat. “He’s really taken his foot off the gas since the show wrapped up,” reveals an insider to Closer. “It’s been a significant shift for him, and while it hasn’t always been easy, he’s got Jillie to keep his spirits high.”
Jillie’s presence has been a game-changer. “She’s absolutely thrilled to have him around more often now. They’ve been soaking up all the quality time they can get, whether it’s going on peaceful walks or simply relaxing on the couch together,” the source adds. This new chapter is allowing them to reconnect and enjoy each other’s company like never before.
Not Ready to Hang Up His Hat
Even though "Blue Bloods" concluded its 14-season run, don’t count Tom Selleck out just yet. At 80 years young, the "Magnum, P.I." star is far from ready to retire. “He’s made it crystal clear that this isn’t the end of his career,” shares the insider. “In fact, he and Jillie are diving into the world of scripts, exploring new opportunities that excite them both.”

And it looks like fans won’t have to wait too long for their next dose of Tom Selleck magic. According to his IMDb page, he’s officially signed on for an upcoming project titled "Untitled Jesse Stone Project," which is currently in development. While details are still scarce and a premiere date hasn’t been announced, one thing is certain—fans are over the moon about the return of the iconic character.
The Call for Jesse Stone Returns
Tom hasn’t been shy about his desire to revisit the Jesse Stone franchise. Fans have been clamoring for his return, and the 10th installment of the series is finally on the horizon. Before the "Blue Bloods" series finale aired in December 2024, Tom gave fans a sneak peek into what’s next for Jesse Stone. “I haven’t started working on it yet, but it’s definitely something I’m looking forward to,” he told Parade. “The challenge will be portraying an older Jesse. It’s been a while since the last film, but that doesn’t mean the character isn’t still relevant. Everywhere I go, people ask me when they’ll see another Jesse Stone, so I guess the answer is soon!”
Spinoffs and Future Ventures
When asked about the possibility of a "Blue Bloods" spinoff featuring his character, Frank Reagan, Tom expressed openness but also hinted at his priorities. “I’m open to ideas because I adore Frank Reagan, but honestly, no one’s approached me about it,” he shared. “I don’t picture him retiring or moving somewhere far away. If I were to explore a new direction, I’d much rather focus on producing more Jesse Stone movies.”
A Partnership in the Making
Looking ahead, Tom and Jillie are considering a collaborative venture. “There’s chatter about them possibly producing something together,” the source reveals. “This would give Tom greater control over his projects, aligning them more closely with his vision.”
Meanwhile, Jillie’s focus remains on Tom’s well-being. “She’s been concentrating on keeping him healthy, ensuring he attends his physiotherapy sessions and taking care of his knees. Jillie’s a big advocate for healthy eating, so there’s plenty of salads and green smoothies in their diet,” the source notes. “That said, Tom still sneaks out for his fast food fixes—he loves McDonald’s—but at home, they cook nutritious meals. Overall, he’s thriving, enjoying his downtime, riding his ATV around the ranch, and cherishing every moment with Jillie.”
