Dick Van Dyke Finally Addresses the Rumors About His Wife

Did you know that Dick Van Dyke’s wife is half his age and that she wasn’t even born when Mary Poppins came out? Dick Van Dyke has been working in the entertainment industry for over 60 years, and he’s still at it today at the age of 96! Some might wonder what Dick’s tricks to staying young are, and it seems that part of his secret is his marriage to 50-year-old Arlene Silver. Dick claims that being married to a woman nearly half his age keeps him on his toes, as evidenced by a recent video that the pair released to commemorate this past Valentine’s Day.

The video that Dick and Arlene released on Valentine’s Day show’s the pair singing and dancing to a Doris Day song as if they were still in their prime. Two weeks after posting the video, the pair celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary. According to Dick, he was initially afraid that people were going to call Arlene a gold digger when he made their relationship public knowledge. Dick has been in two other serious relationships throughout his lifetime but has only been married once previously.
Dick's first wife was Margie Willett, whom the star had four children with throughout their three-decade-plus marriage. The pair's marriage came to an end as a result of Dick having an affair with actress Michelle Triola, and Dick entered into a serious relationship with her after the relationship dissolved. Dick and Michelle were together for over thirty years before Michelle's death, at which point Dick married Arlene. Join Facts Verse as Dick Van Dyke finally addresses the rumors about his wife.

I love the way she looks. She may really love him as a husband. I know one thing, if she did marry him for the money hoping he’d croak early then plans have not worked out. He’s living longer than the average rich guy.😂 If that was her plan she’s willing to treat him well and enjoy the money while he’s alive just the same. She actually looks sincere but none of us can know for sure. At least having her in his life is making him very happy.

[@robertpolityka8464]

DICK VAN DYKE is one of my favorite celebrities of all time. Sometimes, I wonder if Dick has more energy than his wife and The Vantastiks. The video mentioned the 15 year relationship, but how many times a month do you think an average couple will sing songs from "Mary Poppins", "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", "Bye, Bye, Birdie" or an occassional song from "The Dick Van Dyke Show"? From what I've seen, Dick isn't going out, on a music tour singing his favorite tunes, like The Rolling Stones (who are in their 80s). I'm not accusing her of being a "golddigger", but I think the average wife wouldn't want her husband to say "supercalafragilistic....." on how he feels about getting out of the shower...off and on...for 15 years! I know Dick is "a big kid at heart" and from what I've seen, it looks like they're both happy. But, I'm also worried about her "getting most of his money", either with a divorce or questioning his sanity..
