His four children have grown up with empathy, resilience, and a deep understanding of what truly matters in life. The bond they share with their father is truly special and heartwarming.
Michael J Fox penned a sweet tribute to his wife Tracy Pollan on Saturday, June 22 as she celebrated her 64th birthday – just a week after the Back to the Future star celebrated his own.
Fox and Pollan met while starring together in Family Ties, have been married for over three decades, and have four children together – Sam, 35, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 29 and Esme, 22.
Sharing the special day on his Instagram, Fox posted an image of his wife alongside another of the pair of them together, with a caption that read: “In every beautiful way, it’s beautiful Tracy’s beautiful day.
“I love you and today will be magnificent. Always forever your Mike with so much love. Happy birthday. It’s gonna be an epic day.”
Fans of the couple were quick to send their birthday wishes to Pollan, as one fan commented: “If anyone ever wanted an example of what ‘marriage’ means, look no further.”
“Truly the most real love story ever. Happy birthday to the perfect woman!!” another added before someone else said: “So honoured to have watched you too Fall in Love on TV and then fight tremendous battles and overcome them together.

A fourth noted: “You two are amazing and so is your love! Nothing in life can be more significant than her choices regarding love… love between you, love for your family.”
“One of the ‘Rare’ examples of a truly devoted loving marriage! Happy happy Birthday, Mrs Fox!” one expressed before a sixth penned: “Happy birthday Tracy!! Make your special day spectacular and memorable!!” (sic)
The special tribute from Fox comes just seven days after Pollan wished her husband Happy Birthday and similarly shared a portrait of her husband, followed by another one of the two of them together.
Pollan and Fox celebrated their birthday’s a week apart
“Happy birthday Mike!” she started, and declared: “Cannot wait to celebrate all summer long!”
She then endearingly added: “Noting here that you are just as handsome when photographed by our dear friend @markseliger as you are when rocking #bobbybradyhair. I love you.”
The pair often share their relationship with their fans, as Pollan also recently wished Fox a Happy Father’s Day with another special post to him on her social media.
She said: “To the best in the biz, nobody does it better! Happy Father’s Day @realmikejfox” before he replied and added: “Love you! You’re a knockout!” (sic)
Fox was just 29 years old when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and recently opened up about the “tough year” he’s experienced over the past 12 months after enduring a jam-packed work diary.
He told People magazine: “A lot of physical challenges these days have been different bits, but just that I had a lot of stuff … I had a movie, a documentary and a lot of obligations.
“A lot of things have been a lot of effort … And so it was a tough year, but a good year, in each of the challenges (that) came up.”
