Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan have shared a remarkable journey together, spanning over three decades. Their love story, captured in numerous photos, is a testament to their enduring bond and commitment. The couple, who have been married for 36 years, recently celebrated a significant family milestone: the wedding of their daughter, Schuyler Fox.
Schuyler, a producer, married her longtime partner on June 22 in the picturesque Catskill Mountains of New York. The date was doubly special as it coincided with Tracy Pollan’s 64th birthday. The ceremony took place at the luxurious Hayfield Catskills, a venue known for its stunning natural beauty. Despite a heatwave, the weather was perfect, creating an idyllic setting for the celebration. Guests dined under a tent, enjoying what looked like a picture-perfect garden party.
The wedding was attended by notable figures, including Ali Wentworth, George Stephanopoulos, and actress Jennifer Grey. Guests stayed at the Bluebird Hunter Lodge, a cozy boutique hotel, and the popular Scribner’s Catskill Lodge, which has hosted celebrities like Olivia Wilde and Rami Malek. The weekend was filled with pre-wedding events, making it a memorable occasion for all.
Michael J. Fox took to Instagram to pay tribute to his wife on her birthday, sharing a heartfelt message. “In every beautiful way, it’s beautiful Tracy’s beautiful day,” he wrote. “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.❤️.”
The couple’s love story began in the 1980s when they met on the set of the TV show “Family Ties.” They married in 1988 and have since built a life together, raising four children: Sam, 35, Aquinnah, 29, Schuyler, 29, and Esmé, 22. Their relationship has been marked by mutual support and resilience, especially as they navigated Fox’s diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, which he publicly revealed in 1998.
In an interview with PEOPLE in April, Fox hinted at Schuyler’s upcoming nuptials, reflecting on the challenges and triumphs of the past year. “There’s been a lot of challenges. 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 [which] has been put into stuff. And so it was, it was a tough year, but a good year, in each of the challenges [that] came up,” he said at the Michael J. Fox Foundation A Country Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s Event.
Fox’s journey with Parkinson’s has been a significant part of their life together. Despite the challenges, he has continued to work and advocate for Parkinson’s research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation. His resilience and positive outlook have been a source of inspiration for many. “And with the help of family, with the help of people that I work with, I’ve been able to meet those challenges and go beyond them and do new things,” he continued. “And the whole thing is just keep having new experiences, whether it’s experiences that push forward, what we’re trying to do and our mission with foundation, or whether it’s just I’m just, you know, my daughter’s getting married too… good things are happening, and life is good. And so it’s been a good year, for sure.”
The couple’s love story is not just about their personal relationship but also about their shared commitment to making a difference. Through their foundation, they have raised millions of dollars for Parkinson’s research, helping to advance the search for a cure. Their dedication to this cause has been unwavering, even as they faced their own personal challenges.
