Bridget Moynahan reminds fans that once you’re a Reagan, you’re always a Reagan with a sweet tribute to the father of television Tom Selleck as it celebrates another year around the sun.
“Happy birthday to the best dad on TV! #TomSelleck #happybday,” Moynahan, 54, written via on Thursday January 29, paying tribute to him Blue blood costar.
Moynahan shared a photo with Selleck, 81, that appears to be from the Blue blood together. Both men are all smiles in the photo as Selleck sits at a kitchen table and Moynahan leans over his shoulder to pose for the camera.
Moynahan, who played Selleck’s television daughter Erin Reagan, on Blue blood for 14 seasons wasn’t the only one to toast the actor’s birthday. (Selleck played NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on the CBS show.)
The cast of Blue Bloods doesn’t just play a family on television, they’ve become a tight-knit group since the series premiered in 2010. The CBS series follows the lives of the Reagan family led by Tom Selleck’s commissioner, Frank Reagan. Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), sits across from him at the group’s weekly Sunday meeting. […]
Selleck’s right arm, or rather the woman, of the series Abigail Falconwho played 1PP secretary and former cop Abigail Baker, didn’t let the day go by without sharing some memories with the birthday boy via social media.
“Happy birthday, boss!” Hawk, 43, wrote via his Instagram Story about a group photo from years past.
The photo, which included balloons floating above the cast, was set to New Kids on the Block’s “Happy Birthday.”
The choice of song was a nod to Blue blood costar and now Boston Blue lead Donnie Wahlbergwho plays Frank’s son Danny Reagan and is a member of the ’90s boy band.
“I wish you more laughs like this!” Hawk wrote alongside another photo with Selleck and his former teammate Robert Clohessywho plays another 1PP member of Frank’s team, Sid Gormley.
Hawk added another Easter egg to the second snap, this time featuring a sticker of Selleck from his Magnum PI days with the word “mustache” written next to it. (Selleck was famous for his sexy mustache while playing private detective Thomas Magnum on the CBS show from 1980 to 1988.)

Courtesy of Abigail Hawk/InstagramBoth Moynahan and Hawk formed a close bond with Selleck while playing in Blue blood. The procedural premiered in 2010 on CBS and followed Selleck’s Frank Reagan and his family of first responders.
In addition to Frank being the current police commissioner, his father, Henry Reagan (Only by Caria), was his predecessor. Frank’s three living children – his eldest son Joe was killed in the line of duty – all have a mission to help others.
Son Danny (Wahlberg) is an NYPD police detective while Erin (Moynahan) works in the DA’s office before becoming the ADA. Their youngest brother, Jamie (Will Estes), studied law but chose to become a cop like his brothers and his father.
The series lasted 14 seasons with almost 300 episodes and was essentially a series about family. (On Sunday, the Reagans everyone had dinner togetherwithout fail.)

John Paul Filo/CBS/Everett CollectionHawk, for his part, told exclusively We in December 2024, getting to know the man behind the mustache, aka Selleck, so well was one of the biggest blessings of playing one of his employees on the show.
“I just think for someone who is the literal embodiment of the Marlboro Man, [a.k.a. the smoking cowboy] and the muscular man [a lumberjack figure]And [a] mustachioed icon that many of us say, ‘He’s a man,'” Hawk said of the public’s perception of Selleck.
She revealed that deep down, Selleck “loved his mother” and frequently reminisced about his childhood with her and his castmates.
“I just feel like seeing these little snapshots of the man behind the legend is what I cherish most about him,” Hawk added.
Since the series went on hiatus, the spinoff show Boston Bluewhich follows Danny’s life in Boston after leaving New York to care for his son Sean (now played by Mika Amonsen) as he began his police career in Beantown, gave Blue Bloods a little piece of the beloved OG series.
Moynahan is one of the original cast members who made an appearance in the following show – with more to come.
Boston Blue returns with new episodes on CBS on Friday, February 27 at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes will premiere the next day on Paramount+.
