Here’s a story that’s got fans of both Tom Selleck and the show Blue Bloods talking. With the series coming to a close after 14 successful seasons, Tom has been candid about the challenges ahead, particularly concerning his beloved California ranch. A close source reveals that the possibility of losing this property weighs heavily on his mind as he ponders his next career steps heading into 2025.
Let’s break it down. Tom Selleck, a man who’s made a fortune over the years, isn’t as financially secure as some might think. “He insists his bank balance isn’t nearly what people might imagine,” says an insider to Closer. “Running a 63-acre farm isn’t cheap—it’s a massive expense. Tom’s a practical guy. He doesn’t want to burn through his savings just to keep up with the costs. If he’s spending that much money, he feels he needs to bring in a substantial paycheck to justify it. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense to him.”
Life on the Ranch with Jillie Mack
As Tom approaches his 80th birthday on January 29, he continues to call his sprawling ranch home with his wife of 37 years, Jillie Mack. For Tom, this place isn’t just a house—it’s a sanctuary. But as the source explains, “Tom doesn’t want to downsize, but it looks like it might happen sooner than he’d like, especially with health concerns on his mind. Although he doesn’t do the physical work on the farm himself, managing it all still takes a lot of energy. He’s deeply attached to the land, so if he decides to sell, it’ll be a tough pill to swallow. Tom’s in his 80s, but he’s nowhere near ready to throw in the towel and retire.”

What Tom Said About the Ranch
Back in May, Tom opened up about his fears regarding the ranch, with the future of Blue Bloods still uncertain. “Hopefully, I’ll keep working enough to hold onto the place,” he shared during an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning. When host Tracy Smith asked if maintaining the ranch was really an issue, Tom was candid. “That’s always an issue. If I stop working, yeah. Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!”
The Final Chapter of Blue Bloods
Since that interview, CBS has confirmed that Blue Bloods will officially conclude after its 14th season. The series finale is scheduled for December 13, leaving fans and cast members heartbroken. Tom expressed his frustration about the show’s ending during an October interview with TV Insider. “I’m kind of frustrated. During those last eight shows, I didn’t want to talk about an ending for Blue Bloods, but about it still being wildly successful,” he told the outlet. “My frustration stems from the fact that the show was always taken for granted because it performed well from the beginning. So how do I feel? It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out,” the Emmy winner added. “I remember after the weekend of the final episode’s shoot, I said, ‘I’ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.’ Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while.”
While fans are hopeful for a spinoff featuring their favorite Blue Bloods characters, CBS hasn’t made any official announcements about continuing the franchise just yet.
