Besides tackling criminal mayhem and misery, Blue Bloods is also full of romantic drama.
But some of the best romance surrounding this show actually occurs in the stars’
private lives. Here are the Blue Bloods cast members’ actual partners.
Tom Selleck, who plays Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods, actually has two marriages
under his belt. As per AARP the Magazine, he married model Jacqueline Ray in 1971,
and the pair split 10 years later. Lucky for Selleck, he met his current wife in 1984.
Selleck told AARP that he was visiting London when he saw the musical Cats,
went backstage, and had his breath taken away by Jillie Mack, because, quote,
"she looked pretty good in a leotard." Though it took the Magnum P.I. actor a
few more theater tickets to work up the courage to go on a date with Mack, their
romance blossomed. Selleck and Mack married three years later and had a daughter they named Hannah.
Bridget Moynahan hasn't just made headlines for playing Erin Reagan on Blue Bloods. The actress
was also well-known for publicly dating and then publicly splitting from football pro Tom Brady,
and then announcing she was pregnant with his child a few months after their breakup,
as noted by Us Weekly. But Moynahan's love life saw a wonderful rebound when she met
her now-husband Andrew Frankel. Frankel is the co-president of Stuart Frankel & Co.,
a New York Stock Exchange independent broker. The Blue Bloods actress and the businessman
got married on October 17, 2015, at Wölffer Estate Vineyards in Sagaponack, New York.
Their wedding planners told People, "They wanted a cool vibe and great energy.
They really wanted the night to feel more like a large family dinner party than a wedding.
It was all about simplicity and ease."
Blue Bloods star and New Kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg met his wife,
Jenny McCarthy, in a very Hollywood way. The actor told the story in an
Instagram post. Sharing a photo of when they first met, he wrote in the caption,
"Our first meeting at [Watch What Happens Live— where Andy [Cohen]
implored me to ask Jenny out. I didn't." Luckily for Wahlberg, McCarthy later had
him on her VH1 talk show The Jenny McCarthy Show. The interview got pretty steamy, and,
according to People, the pair even laid down on the floor to discuss their sexual preferences.
"But you know, some guys do it wrong." "Yeah, I don't do it wrong."
They must have liked what they heard, as the celebrity couple tied the knot in 2014
and formed a blended family with three sons from their previous relationships, as per People.
Steve Schirripa has had many roles, from Bobby on The Sopranos to Detective Anthony Abetemarco
on Blue Bloods. But some might argue that his favorite role of all time is that of husband.
The Brooklyn native loves his wife, Laura, and their two daughters, Bria and Ciara,
as noted by The New York Times, and even credits his wife as the reason why he booked his famous
role on The Sopranos. Schirripa told Esquire,
"My wife was the one that pushed me. She said,
'You're only happy when you're doing this, go back.' Because I didn't want to spend the
money to put myself up and fly myself out. But I did it and luckily it all worked out."
Eddie Janko, Vanessa Ray's character on Blue Bloods, found true love in her partner,
Jamie Reagan. But Ray found happily ever after in real life with musician Landon Beard.
According to Hola! magazine, the pair met during a rehearsal and Beard continued to sweep her off her
feet when he romantically proposed in 2015. The Pretty Little Liars actress told Hola!,
"He convinced me to go for a walk to one of our favorite spots—Pier 84—on
the Hudson River in the freezing cold. […] He pulled out the ring, we cried."
Ray and Beard married that year at Condor Nest Ranch in Pala,
California, as reported by E! News. A source described their wedding as a,
quote, "intimate and relaxed event with an eclectic, boho feel."
Len Cariou has had some luck with the ladies. The Blue Bloods actor
was in a relationship with actress Lauren Bacall, back when they starred on Broadway
in Applause. Cariou himself spoke about it in an interview with CBS2, saying simply,
"Well, we became lovers when we were doing the show."
Cariou eventually settled down with his now-wife, a writer named Heather Summerhayes.
According to an interview Summerhayes did with Ask Wendy, the couple have a
house in New Jersey with stunning views of Manhattan in which they enjoy a quiet life.
Robert Clohessy, who plays Sid Gormley on Blue Bloods, wasn't looking for love when he met his
wife; he was just looking for a place to live. According to Main Street Magazine, Clohessy had
to move to Los Angeles at the last minute, after being cast as a recurring character on Hill Street
Blues. Luckily, his agent was also representing a young actress who was looking for a renter:
Catherine Erhardt. While Clohessy's wife stays away from the spotlight,
their two sons, Myles and Byron, have followed in Dad's footsteps.
Abigail Hawk plays Abigail Baker on Blue Bloods. And the actress and her character
don't just have the same name—both are also happily married. In real life,
Hawk is married to Bryan Spies, who, according to Starry Magazine, is a first responder.
Hawk told Starry Magazine,
"I'm a mom, I'm a wife, I'm a daughter and I have dogs who poop on the floor and chew
up my shoes. [...] We don't have a nanny. My husband and I do everything ourselves.”
Hawk also wrote a gushing Facebook post for her husband's 42nd birthday in April 2021,
thanking him for helping out around the house and for being, quote, "handy, handsy, [and] handsome."
Gregory Jbara, aka Garrett Moore on Blue Bloods, is married to Julie Jbara,
and he seems head over heels. Need proof? After winning the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor
in Billy Elliot: The Musical in 2009, he brought her up on the stage at Radio City Music Hall while
he delivered his acceptance speech. When Broadway Buzz asked him about his favorite
memory of that night, he responded, "Having my wife Julie at my side."
Julie has a career in BodyTalk therapy, a holistic healing that draws upon kinesiology,
yoga and psychology, as well as Western Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda.
