Since 1988, Canadian-American Michael has been married to American actress Tracy Pollan, and the two share four children
Michael and Tracy are parents to Sam, 35, twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, 29, and youngest daughter Esmé, 22.
While the couple have shared their lives for more than 35 years, Tracy previously admitted she didn’t have a stellar first impression of Michael.
The pair first met in 1985 when Tracy was cast as Ellen, the love interest of Michael’s character Alex P. Keaton, on the hit NBC sitcom Family Ties.
However, they didn’t start dating until two years later when they reunited for the film adaptation of Jay McInerney’s novel Bright Lights, Big City.
‘I think I thought he was kind of full of himself,’ Tracy recalled during an appearance on Inside The Actors Studio, as reported by Parade.
After she got to know him a little better, however, sparks flew.
She explained: ‘We started to work together, and I got a completely different impression and how completely opposite from that he was—just funny and so smart, and just all of these other things came through those first two weeks we worked together.’
Life changed for the couple in a dramatic way when in 1991, aged just 29, Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

He would not share his diagnosis publicly until 1998.
Tracy has supported Michael every step of the way, leading to the launch of his Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000 to help fund Parkinson’s disease research in the effort to find a cure.
More recently, the couple shared in the making and release of the Apple TV+ film, Still: A Michael J. Fox Story (2023).
The film won the award for Best Documentary Film at the National Board Of Review Gala, as well as earning seven nominations at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Tracy also stepped out to support him at The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s A Country Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson’s events over the years.
She and Michael, born Michael Andrew Fox, are often asked how they keep their marriage strong over the years and decades.
‘It’s interesting, being married for 35 years,’ Michael shared. ‘Yeah. I mean, the joke is you say I’ve been married 35 years, and it’s [been] the best 35 years of my life so think about that one for a second.’
He added, ‘It’s great having a partner and having someone that knows you in a [certain] way when everyone in the world thinks they know you. [Only] one person actually knows you.’
Michael and Tracy first met in 1985, when Tracy was as the love interest of Michael’s character Alex P. Keaton on the hit NBC sitcom Family Ties, but didn’t start dating till 1987
