He also credited her for being a “very independent person” and having “her own life” as one reason behind their longstanding marriage.

The actor, who played patriarch Frank Reagan on the series, admitted he was not happy to hear the show was coming to an end,saying in October 2024, “I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’ I don’t believe in holding grudges. But if you were to say to the television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe.”

“After 15 years, it’s hard. It’s hard to let go because coming to work was a joy,” headded.

Despite the show ending, Sellecktold PEOPLE in April 2024he’s counting his blessings for the experience, both onBlue Bloodsand throughout his career. “I’ve had a very good life, a very lucky life. I don’t know if it’s what I figured I’d be doing, but it’s with a lot of gratitude,” he said.
