Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan have a remarkable story both personally and professionally. They first met on the set of the hit TV show “Family Ties” in the early 1980s, where Pollan played Ellen, the girlfriend of Fox’s character, Alex P. Keaton. Their chemistry was evident, and after dating briefly, they both moved on to other relationships.
Years later, they reconnected while Fox was filming “Doc Hollywood,” and this time, their relationship blossomed into a lasting marriage. They tied the knot on July 16, 1988, and have four children together: Sam, Aquinnah, Schuyler, and Esmé.
Throughout their marriage, Tracy has been a staunch supporter of Michael, especially after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991. She has played a crucial role in his advocacy work, helping to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Their partnership is characterized by mutual respect and love, showcasing a deep bond that has only strengthened over the years. Together, they continue to inspire many with their resilience and commitment to each other and their causes.
