Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan stand as an enduring and inspirational couple within Hollywood. Their steadfast marriage has surpassed three decades, and they have provided unwavering support for each other, notably navigating the challenges posed by Fox’s battle with Parkinson’s disease.
On the occasion of their 35th wedding anniversary, the actor shared a heartfelt tribute to his beloved wife.
Throughout the years, the 62-year-old Back to the Future star has shared numerous images of their journey on social media, symbolizing 35 years filled with laughter, shared experiences, attentive listening, and profound love.
Fox expressed his gratitude for Tracy’s support, stating, “Many thanks for your help. Mike, you have my deepest love.”
Tracy Pollan reciprocated the affection in the comments, declaring, “I adore you so much!” She also honored her husband on her own Instagram post, extending congratulations on their anniversary and expressing her anticipation for more exciting adventures together.
In a touching birthday message to Tracy earlier in the month, Fox celebrated her qualities as a loving individual who showers those she cares about with affection.
Describing her as his love, best friend, forever Summer girl, and an incredible mother to their four children, Fox conveyed his deep admiration.
The couple first crossed paths on the set of Family Ties, where Pollan portrayed Fox’s character’s girlfriend, Alex P. Keaton. After reconnecting on the set of Bright Lights, Big City, they tied the knot on July 16, 1988. Their four children—Sam, Aquinnah, Schuyler, and Esmé—complete their family.
In 1991, Fox’s life took a challenging turn when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Reflecting on this difficult period, he credited Tracy’s love and encouragement for being instrumental in overcoming those trying days.
Their bond, founded on love and mutual support, has endured for 35 years and continues to thrive.
According to Pollan, their strength lies in active listening, being there for each other when needed, and allowing space when required. Fox, in turn, expressed profound appreciation for Tracy, acknowledging her as the source of goodness and achievement in their family.
Despite Fox’s retirement from acting in 2021 and the increasing challenges posed by Parkinson’s disease, he maintains a positive outlook. The Michael J. Fox Foundation, dedicated to Parkinson’s research, remains active in sponsoring initiatives toward finding a cure or improved therapies for the disease.
Congratulations to Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan on their remarkable 35th wedding anniversary, a testament to one of Hollywood’s most enduring and heartwarming celebrity romance stories.
