Dick Van Dyke Praises 52 Year-Old Wife Arlene Silver As He Prepares To Turn 98
As the legendary Hollywood star Dick Van Dyke turns 98 on Wednesday, he’s speaking out to celebrate and praise the love of his life, his wife Arlene Silver. The couple wed in 2012, when Van Dyke was 86 and Silver was just 52 years old. Silver is a makeup artist, who has worked on shows such as “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “Melrose Place.”
Van Dyke and Silver have been together for almost a decade now, and are still deeply in love. Van Dyke has praised Silver for her beauty, her intelligence, and her loyalty. He said in an interview with People, “We’re still very much in love. We’re still crazy about each other. We’re still laughing. We’re still enjoying life.”
Van Dyke is known for his roles in iconic films such as “Mary Poppins” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” He’s also been an active member of the entertainment industry for over seven decades. In fact, he was honored with the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2012.
But despite his long and illustrious career, Van Dyke’s biggest source of happiness is his loving wife. He said, “She’s my best friend. She’s my confidant. She’s my companion. She’s my right arm. She’s got talent, she’s got brains, she’s got beauty. I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”
The couple first met in 2008 when Van Dyke was invited to attend a performance of Silver’s in Los Angeles. Silver was performing in a show called “The Story of My Life,” and Van Dyke was so impressed with her performance that he asked her out. They soon began dating and eventually tied the knot in 2012.
Van Dyke and Silver have been a strong and loving couple ever since. They love to travel the world together, and visit places like London, Paris, and Rome. They also love to take long walks together and enjoy each other’s company.
Van Dyke also credits Silver with helping him stay active and healthy. He says that she makes sure he eats a healthy diet, exercises regularly, and takes good care of himself. He said, “She’s my guardian angel. She takes care of me and makes sure I’m doing the right thing.”
Van Dyke and Silver’s relationship is an inspiration to couples everywhere. Van Dyke said, “I think our relationship is a great example of how age doesn’t matter when it comes to love. We’re proof that age is just a number. We’ve found true love and happiness together, and we want to show the world that no matter how old you are, it’s possible to find true love.”
As Van Dyke turns 98 this week, he’s taking time to reflect on his life and to thank the love of his life for standing by him for the last eight years. He said, “I’m so thankful for my wife. She’s been with me through thick and thin, and I can’t thank her enough for all that she’s done for me.”
The couple is an inspiring example of true love and devotion. As Van Dyke prepares to turn 98 this week, let’s all take a moment to wish him and his wife Arlene Silver a very happy anniversary.
