Michael J. Fox is not only a beloved actor but also a devoted family man. He and his wife, Tracy Pollan, have raised four children—Sam, 33, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 27, and Esme, 20. Despite his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis at age 29, Michael and Tracy continued to grow their family and maintain a strong, supportive household. The couple’s close-knit bond and commitment to their kids have kept them united through life’s challenges.
While Michael remains in the public eye, his children prefer to live more private lives. Sam, his eldest, is the only one with a public social media presence and often shares heartfelt tributes to his father. The twins have joined Michael for public appearances supporting Parkinson’s awareness, showing their solidarity and love. On their birthday, Michael honored them with a touching Instagram post: “Twice the love… I admire you.”
The family became even closer during the COVID-19 pandemic, when they all returned home to Long Island. Michael described their time together as filled with laughter, puzzles, and home-cooked meals, cherishing the simple moments. “It’s difficult for me to accept that this is my life,” he said, acknowledging his gratitude despite the hardship of his illness.
Recently, the family suffered a deep loss with the passing of Michael’s mother, Phyllis Fox, at age 92. Despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s, Michael continues to fight for a cure and has helped raise over $1 billion in research funding through his foundation. His dedication to both his family and his cause defines his remarkable legacy.
