Kevin Selleck, born Kevin Shepard, is the adopted son of actor Tom Selleck and a former drummer for the rock band Tonic.
He was born in 1966, so he is 59 or 60 in October 2026. Sources disagree on the year Tom adopted him. He lives privately with his wife, Annabel, and reportedly six children. No credible source gives his height or net worth.

Who Is Kevin Selleck?
How did Kevin Shepard become Kevin Selleck?
Kevin was born Kevin Shepard in 1966 to actress and model Jacqueline Ray. She married Tom Selleck in 1971. Tom later adopted Kevin.
| Year | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 1966 | Kevin Shepard is born | Closer Weekly; Briefly |
| 1971 | Ray marries Tom (15 May) | Wikipedia |
| 1982 | Tom and Ray divorce | Wikipedia; Parade |
| 1987 | Tom marries Jillie Mack | HELLO!; HollywoodLife |
| 1988 | Hannah Selleck is born (16 Dec) | HELLO! |
When did Tom Selleck adopt Kevin?
Sources agree on the adoption but not the date. HELLO! says August 1987. Parade and HollywoodLife place it during the 1971–1982 marriage.
August 1987 also matches Tom's wedding to Jillie Mack, so a mix-up is likely. We treat the year as unconfirmed.
How Old Is Kevin Selleck in 2026?
Kevin Selleck is 59 or 60. Here is the logic:
- Closer Weekly and Briefly give his birth year as 1966.
- No credible outlet publishes his birthday.
- 2026 minus 1966 is 60 once his birthday has passed. Before it, he is 59.
- HELLO! called him 60 in August 2026.
- HollywoodLife gave 55 in 2021, which also fits 1966.
- The 18 December 1967 date conflicts with all three, so we reject it.
Kevin Selleck's Height and Weight
- Height: No verified figure exists.
- Weight: No verified figure exists.
- The 6 ft 3 in claim: One low-quality page states it with no source.
- Family link: Tom adopted Kevin, so Tom's height says nothing about his.
Career: Tonic Drummer, Not a Film Star
What did Kevin do in Tonic?
Tonic formed in 1993 around Emerson Hart and Jeff Russo. Kevin was part of the lineup before the band signed its record deal in 1995. Lemon Parade followed in 1996.
By February 2003, that album had sold about 1.3 million copies, per Wikipedia. For a model of how we document a full music career, see our Lou Rawls profile.
| Claim | Evidence | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Drummer in Tonic | Wikipedia lists "Kevin Shepard" as a past member | Confirmed |
| Drums on Lemon Parade (tracks 1–11) | Wikipedia credits | Confirmed |
| Left before Sugar (1999) | Peter Maloney drums on that album | Confirmed |
| Co-writer, "Top Falls Down" | Wikipedia lists Hart, Shepard, Russo | Confirmed |
Did Kevin Selleck act in Scream 2 or Magnum, P.I.?
Probably not in Scream 2. Last.fm says Tonic contributed to the film's soundtrack. That likely explains the confusion.
| Claim | Evidence | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Tonic on the Scream 2 soundtrack | Last.fm | Reported |
| Kevin acted in Scream 2 | Repeated by HELLO!, no credit found | Unverified |
| Guest spot on Magnum, P.I. | HELLO! only | Unverified |
| "50+ films" or Star Trek: Voyager | Content farms, no source | False |
Kevin Selleck's Net Worth in 2026
No verified net worth exists. An "$18 million" figure circulates on content sites. It dates from 2019 and shows no method.
A credible estimate needs one of these:
- A public business filing.
- A disclosed deal or earnings figure.
- A named financial source.
Tom's wealth is Tom's, not Kevin's. For an honest estimate with a stated range, see our Dub Bridge net worth profile.
