Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan have been married for over 30 years, tying the knot in 1988. During their marriage, they welcomed four children: Sam, now 33; twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, both 28; and Esmé, 21.
The couple first met in 1985 when they played love interests on the set of *Family Ties*. When asked about the secret to their enduring relationship, Pollan emphasized the importance of listening to each other and offering support when needed.
Tracy and Michael, the iconic 1980s actor, are currently promoting *Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie*, a documentary that explores his rise to fame and his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 1991 at the age of 29.
Their strong bond is evident in how they remain attentive to each other’s needs while respecting personal space. Fox credits Tracy as a key factor in their family’s happiness and stability, providing joy and calm in their lives.
After Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he faced the challenge of coping with the uncertainty of the disease while coming to terms with his new reality. Known for his legendary role in *Back to the Future*, Fox bravely navigated this uncharted territory and openly shared his journey to inspire hope and resilience in others.
Although he initially kept his diagnosis private for seven years, he eventually decided it was time to go public.
The overwhelming support and compassion from the public, along with encouragement from his peers, had a profound impact on him, far beyond what he could have imagined.
