“Dick Van Dyke, 98, Drops JAW-DROPPING Compliments on 52-Year-Old Wife in Unbelievable TV Special! You Won’t Believe What He Said!”
Beloved actor Dick Van Dyke, celebrating his 98th birthday, recently expressed admiration for his wife, Arlene Silver, 52, during the filming of a new TV special titled “Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years Of Magic.” The special, a tribute to his remarkable career, captured the iconic performer complimenting his spouse of 12 years with charming affection.
In a heartwarming moment, Van Dyke, renowned for his roles in classics like “Mary Poppins” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” playfully remarked to Silver, a makeup artist, “You look like a movie star.” With a glint in his eye, he added, “She really does, doesn’t she? I saw her first!”
The couple, who tied the knot in Malibu in 2012 when Van Dyke was 86 and Silver was 40, first crossed paths at the SAG Awards in 2006. Their friendship deepened after the passing of Van Dyke’s long-term partner in 2009, evolving into a loving relationship that eventually led to marriage.
Despite their age difference, the couple remains deeply in love. Van Dyke, in an interview with the Malibu Times, expressed gratitude for having “the best wife” who made him the “happiest man in the world.” Arlene, 46 years Van Dyke’s junior, reciprocated the sentiment, describing their relationship as one where they “take very good care of each other.”
Their enduring romance, spanning over a decade, exemplifies the magic of love, as the Hollywood legend continues to be captivated by his glamorous partner.
