As he nears 100, Dick Van Dyke, 99, makes a touching confession about his life

A touching part of his reflections centers on his wife, Arlene Silver. Van Dyke credits their romance—full of humor, warmth, and affection—as the reason he remains so lively. Their connection has long charmed fans, especially given the 46-year age difference that once raised eyebrows.

The couple delighted viewers again with a joyful anniversary video featuring Van Dyke’s vocal group, The Vantastix. Singing “Everybody Loves a Lover,” the group showcased cheerful harmonies, lighthearted dancing, and genuine fun. The video quickly won more than 790,000 views and glowing comments praising Van Dyke’s enduring spirit.

Despite the challenges of aging, Van Dyke insists joy is a choice. “No one is genetically miserable,” he wrote, explaining that he has lived so long by refusing to surrender to negativity, loss, or hardship. At 99, he remains a reminder that optimism, love, and laughter truly keep the heart young.
