Dick Van Dyke’s Super-Rare Comments About His Wife Show How She’s Keeping Him Thriving at 98
Dick van Dyke is so excited to turn 99, and at 98, he’s still so full of life; and, to be quite frank, is thriving more than ever. And in a super-rare interview, he didn’t waste a second when it came to thanking his wife, Arlene Silver, for helping him achieve this mindset and health.
In a recent interview with Forbes, van Dyke discussed how he’s thriving, mere months away from turning 99 years old. He discussed his health, and how he’s adamant about his workout routines; but along with that, his wife Silver is to praise for keeping him thriving.
“Oh my god! I don’t think I’d even be here, to tell you that truth,” he said, when speaking about the idea of life without her. “She keeps me in shape, feeds me and I love her more everyday. We’re just getting closer and closer.”
Awwww! And Silver even chimed in, saying how he’s changed her for the better as well.
“He’s really made me a better person,” she said. “I was very cynical, I think, when I first met him. He’s such a great human being and he’s so pure in his thoughts and his heart, that it’s rubbed off on me. Just all the wholesome things of life – that’s what he has and he’s just made me a better person.”
Double awwww! Seriously, these two always find a way for us to believe in true love.

According to Insider, the Dick Van Dyke star was instantly attracted to Silver, after appointing her as his makeup artist. After six years together, they tied the knot in 2012, which he calls “one of the smartest moves he has ever made.”
He also said in an interview with HuffPost that he tries to keep his spirit as youthful as possible for her, saying, “I do a lot of leg work, all kinds of treadmills and weights and everything, because I like to keep the bounce when I dance. I can dance better than any 90-year-old you ever know.”
