Dick Van Dyke, 97, And His Wife Arlene Silver, 52, Had A Great Day At Disneyland

Dick Van Dyke and his much younger wife, Arlene Silver, took a trip to Disneyland.

On Sunday, the 97-year-old “Mary Poppins” star was observed visiting the theme park in Anaheim, California, while being carried in a wheelchair by a cast member.

The actor appeared to be in good spirits as he and Silver, 52, stopped to observe the Dapper Dans musical quartet.

Van Dyke was subsequently seen waving to bystanders from a balcony in New Orleans Square, according to a fan video posted on Instagram.

“I would have lost my collective spoon full of sugar if I saw the absolute legend there,” someone said.

“TRUE DISNEY LEGEND!” exclaimed another.

“An absolute magical moment being able to see the one and only D.V.D! 🙌🏼,” said another.

The iconic actor wore a blue hoodie, gray pants, and black shoes to the “Happiest Place on Earth.” He completed his ensemble with a blue cap and black eyeglasses.

Silver dressed down in a tee layered over a purple long-sleeve shirt, black jeans, sneakers, and sunglasses.

The couple, who married in 2012, made a rare appearance at the theme park months after Van Dyke slammed his car into a gate in Malibu, California, on a wet day in March.

The “Dick Van Dyke Show” star escaped with minor injuries and only needed stitches on his chin.

The actor quipped to paparazzi at the time that he was “doing OK” for his age because all of his “friends are dead.”

Van Dyke recently revealed his method for remaining in fit in his 90s, which involves long treadmill walks, water aerobics, and weight training.

“I’ve always exercised and still do. I go to the gym three times a week, swim, and workout. They recommend to keep moving when you’re my age. “Give me a solid surface and I’ll start tapping,” he told Closer magazine in 2019.

He said that “good genes” and “optimism” have also contributed to his ability to stay fit despite his arthritis diagnosis.

The “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” star also attributed his eternal youth to keeping up with his younger wife, according to NPR.

“I sometimes forget that we’re doing a great experiment here — 46 years difference,” he stated. “And to some extent, we work on it.” There has to be some knowledge; figure out which old patterns no longer work. It takes some getting used to and fitting in, but that’s part of the pleasure.”

Van Dyke and Silver first met in 2007 at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, when he was 81 and she was 35.

While they began as buddies, their relationship gradually evolved into a love one.

Prior to Silver, he had a 30-year relationship with actress Michelle Triola, who died in 2009.

He was previously married for 36 years to Margie Willett before their divorce in 1984. Christian, 73, Barry, 72, Carrie, 62, and Stacy, 60 are the couple’s four children.
