Michael J. Fox & Tracy Pollan

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan met at the set of NBC’s ‘80s sitcom Family Ties. Fox played Alex Keaton, a character who was on the lookout for a girlfriend only to meet Pollan’s Ellen Reed character.
But their on-screen relationship graduated to real-life and they married each other in 1988. They are blessed with four children, Sam Michael, Aquinnah Kathleen, Esmé Annabelle, and Schuyler Frances. Fox and Pollan’s marriage has not been an easy one.

Although they never had separation issues, their bond was tested after Fox’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s diseases. This just made their relationship stronger. Fox allotted his time to build the Michael J. Fox Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to Parkinson’s research, while pulling off management strategies to fund his treatment. Pollan has always been around for him, and after more than 30 years of marriage, she proved they are ultimate partners for life.
