Dick Van Dyke How'd I Live To 99? Just Ask My Wife, She Keeps Me Young!
Dick Van Dyke's less than a month away from becoming a centenarian ... and he says one of the secrets to his longevity is his wife, Arlene Silver!
The actor spoke about his spouse's role in his long, long life in an excerpt from his new book "100 Rules for Living to 100" -- released on Tuesday -- and he credited Arlene with making him feel "somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters my age," reports Fox News.
FYI ... Van Dyke and Silver met in 2006 when she was working as a makeup artist at the SAG Awards.
The actor was previously married to his first wife, Margie Willett, from 1948 to 1984, and he was in a long-term relationship with Michelle Triola, which lasted until her death in 2009.
Van Dyke eventually began dating Silver, who worked as his makeup artist, and they ended up tying the knot in 2012.
Although there's a 48-year age gap between the two -- Silver's only 54 years old -- Van Dyke never really took the difference into consideration, and he apparently told her she'd keep him "feeling young forever" during a discussion recorded for his book.
Plus, the actor said his wife was the one who kept him from becoming curmudgeonly in his old age ... and if it hasn't happened by now, it'll probably never happen!
In any case, we're incredibly happy to see Van Dyke's still feeling young ... here's to the next 100, Dick!

A source spoke to Us Weekly on Tuesday and confirmed the big news about the actress, although they didn't provide any specifics about when or where the photographer popped the big question.

TikTok Star Brenay Kennard You Had An Affair With My Husband -- Pay Up!
A North Carolina-based influencer learned about how rough breakups can be on Monday when she was ordered to pay $1.75 million -- after being found liable for ruining a marriage.
Brenay Kennard, who's got 3 million followers on TikTok and another 274,000 on Instagram, had been accused of having an affair with her manager, Tim Montague ... which apparently broke up his marriage with his now-estranged wife, Akira, reports WRAL-TV.
Akira -- who married Tim in 2018 and has two kids with him -- brought a civil lawsuit against Brenay after Tim started seeing the influencer. Akira claimed their affair caused plenty of anguish in her personal life and negatively impacted her family dynamic.
Brenay was found liable for criminal conversation -- which carries a penalty of $250,000 -- and alienation of affection, which came with a tab of $1.5 million.
FYI ... North Carolina's alienation of affection law allows estranged spouses to sue the individual they blame for breaking up their marriage. It's one of the few states with this kind of law.
Akira's lawyer, Robonetta Jones, issued a statement after the verdict, saying her client had "received justice" with the verdict.
Brenay didn't feel the same way, though, and she claimed Akira "knew her marriage was over with" and let the affair carry on.
