Wedding and Husbands

Jacqueline’s first husband was named Shephard and the couple had one child together, a son named Kevin, now known as Kevin Selleck , as he tooe the last name of his step father, Tom Selleck. In mid-May 1971, Tom Selleck and Jacqueline married, at the time when the actor was reportedly struggling to make it in the world of entertainment. However, the couple divorced 11 years after, as Ray reportedly wasn’t able to handle the attention her husband was getting from female fans. Ten years after divorcing Selleck, Ray married for the third time, to Clarence Barry Witmer, on 21 March 1992, but their marriage apparently soon fell through as well, and they divorced shortly afterwards. After that, she dated a man unknown to the media, and from that relationship, she had a daughter named Umeko Ray. Unfortunately, the actress has never been active on social media, which makes it harder for her fans to keep in touch with her.
