Calista Flockhart, 61, Dazzles Makeup-Free Outing

'When I met Liam, he was just beginning to walk, and it just didn’t matter to me,' Ford later told The New York Times.

Ford legally adopted Liam after marrying Calista, and the blended family became a defining part of their partnership. 

Ford has frequently praised Flockhart’s parenting, telling Reader’s Digest that she had done 'a really wonderful job' raising Liam even before Ford became part of their family.

Both have acknowledged the age difference openly. 

Flockhart once told People that the 22‑year gap 'doesn’t factor into our relationship at all,' joking that she sometimes forgets he’s that much older.

Ford has also reflected candidly on how his prior parenting experiences shaped his role with Liam. 

In a 2010 interview with The Independent, he admitted that, despite his success and busy career, 'my older children have taught me a lot about parenting,' and that he feels he’s 'a little better at it now' than in his youth.

Despite being one of Hollywood’s most recognizable couples, Ford and Flockhart have mostly kept their personal life private, preferring to avoid the glare of tabloid scrutiny. 

They have split time between residences in Los Angeles, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and New York when Calista has taken stage roles, like Curse of the Starving Class.

Despite their long marriage, the pair have never appeared on screen together - a fact Ford says comes down to practical concerns.

Their marriage has also weathered Ford’s past experiences. 

He was previously married twice - first to Mary Marquardt, with whom he had two sons, and later to screenwriter Melissa Mathison, with whom he shared a son and a daughter. 

Despite those earlier chapters ending, Ford has said his life with Flockhart feels like a unique and lasting partnership.
