Michael J. Fox, the celebrated actor best known for Back to the Future, considers fatherhood his most meaningful role. He and his wife, actress Tracy Pollan, have been married for more than three decades and are parents to four children together.
Even while living with Parkinson’s disease—following his diagnosis in 1991—Fox continues to prioritize showing up for his family and valuing the time he shares with them.
His love for his children is evident in the way he speaks about them publicly, including through social media, as well as their participation in his 2023 documentary, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. For Fox, family remains his greatest source of happiness and purpose, and their support is a central part of his life story.
