Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan share a beautiful love story that has endured since 1988. Their journey began years earlier on the set of “Family Ties,” where Pollan portrayed the girlfriend of Fox’s character, Alex P. Keaton. Their professional collaboration continued with the film “Bright Lights, Big City,” and during this time, a romantic connection blossomed.

On July 16, 1988, Fox and Pollan sealed their love in marriage. Throughout their enduring union, they have been blessed with four children: a son named Sam, twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, and another daughter named Esmé. Their love story, rooted in both personal and professional chapters, stands as a testament to the strength and longevity of their relationship.

Only a few years into their marriage, Michael J. Fox’s life underwent a devastating change when he received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 1991.

Reflecting on this challenging period on “The Late Show With David Letterman” in 2015, Fox shared the profound impact of the news. At the age of 29, he faced the unexpected reality of living with Parkinson’s disease. Initially attributing a twitch in his pinkie to a stunt-related shoulder injury, Fox recalled the moment when the doctor delivered the diagnosis, saying, “You have Parkinson’s disease.” Despite the difficult news, the doctor offered a glimmer of hope by mentioning, “The good news is that you have 10 years of work left.” This marked the beginning of Fox’s public journey with Parkinson’s and his subsequent advocacy for research and awareness.

Michael J. Fox faced significant challenges in coming to terms with Parkinson’s disease, but he credits his wife, Tracy Pollan, for being his pillar of strength during the darkest times.

Reflecting on their journey, Fox expressed gratitude for Tracy’s unwavering love and support. In an interview with Today, he shared, “We didn’t know what to expect. One of the things I’ll always love Tracy for is that at that moment, she didn’t blink.” Tracy’s steadfast support became a crucial source of strength for Fox as they navigated the uncertainties and difficulties posed by the impact of Parkinson’s on their lives.

Over the course of the past 35 years, Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan have remained a steadfast source of love and support for each other, and their enduring bond continues to thrive.

Speaking about the key elements of their enduring relationship, Pollan shared with People, “I think we really listen to each other, we are there for each other when we need each other. And then we also give each other space when that’s needed. Just feeling off of what’s needed at the moment and trying to be there.”

Acknowledging the integral role that Tracy plays in their family, Fox added, “Tracy gives our family everything that we need. Any good in our family, anything good that we do, comes from her.” Their ability to listen, be there for each other, and provide space when necessary reflects the strength and understanding that has defined their enduring love story.

In 2021, Michael J. Fox announced his retirement from acting, citing the increasing challenges of his battle with Parkinson’s disease. Despite acknowledging that the journey was “getting tougher,” Fox expressed a resilient spirit, stating that he was “not gonna be 80” but affirmed that he was still “happy.”

While his acting career may have taken a back seat, Fox remains actively engaged in making a difference through the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The foundation, established to fund research for improved treatments and ultimately a cure for Parkinson’s disease, stands as the largest nonprofit contributor to Parkinson’s disease research. To date, the foundation has successfully raised over $1 billion for various research projects, emphasizing Fox’s commitment to advancing the understanding and treatment of Parkinson’s.
