Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan just recently commemorated a significant milestone – their 35th wedding anniversary.
An enduring Hollywood love story, theirs is a testament to their unyielding commitment to each other.
The two lovebirds celebrated this landmark moment privately, but Fox made sure to share a sweet snapshot on his Instagram with his 1.2 million followers, along with a sentimental caption.
Fox, best known for his iconic roles in “Family Ties” and “Back to the Future”, met Tracy Pollan when she played his girlfriend on the set of “Family Ties”.
Little did they know then, that their on-screen chemistry would translate into an off-screen romance that would last for decades.
The duo tied the knot in 1988, stepping into a lifelong journey of love and companionship.
The Instagram post that Fox shared was a delightful throwback picture featuring the happy couple on their wedding day.
Their faces beam with love and anticipation for the life they were about to embark on together.
Fox’s caption, “35 years making a life, raising a family, and yes, some of it is hard, but all of it is a gift,” speaks volumes of their shared experiences and unyielding bond.
The couple has endured many challenges over the years, most significantly, Fox’s diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease in 1991.
He has bravely battled the condition with Pollan standing steadfast by his side.
Their relationship and Fox’s journey with Parkinson’s have been a source of inspiration to many, demonstrating the power of love and resilience.
Pollan, in a conversation with People magazine back in 2018, expressed her perspective on their relationship, affirming that “Giving each other the benefit of the doubt” has been a cornerstone in their lasting partnership.
She continued, “There are so many times when you have arguments, when you have things come up, and it really doesn’t have anything to do with what he’s going through. So I don’t conflate the two.”
Fox also shared his thoughts on maintaining a healthy relationship with his wife in his 2020 memoir “No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality”.
His advice was to “Find the best things about you and the best things about life and celebrate them.”
The couple’s mantra to face life’s adversities and celebrate its joys has held them in good stead throughout their life together.
This shared philosophy has guided them through parenthood, with four children, and through Fox’s long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Their inspiring love story continues to provide hope and courage to many who face their own challenges.
Fox and Pollan’s relationship is a shining example of true love and devotion in a world where the longevity of relationships can often be challenged.
Despite the trials that life has thrown at them, their commitment to each other has remained strong, serving as a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
On their 35th anniversary, we celebrate this iconic couple and their love story.
They continue to inspire and show us that love, patience, and understanding can indeed conquer all.
As they embark on another year of their journey together, we send them all our best wishes.
To quote Fox’s beautiful words again, “Some of it is hard, but all of it is a gift” – a sentiment that captures the essence of their remarkable journey together.
