Michael J. Fox is celebrating a significant milestone in his life—his 36th wedding anniversary with his beloved wife, Tracy Pollan. The “Back to the Future” star, now 63, took to social media on Tuesday to mark the occasion with a heartfelt throwback picture, reminiscing on their enduring love story.
Fox shared a nostalgic photo of the couple from their early years, sitting on a diving board with his arm affectionately draped around Pollan. He captioned the post, “Here’s to a lifetime of love with the love of a lifetime. Happy anniversary, T. Forever ♥️,” expressing his deep affection for his wife.
The couple, who met on the set of the sitcom “Family Ties,” tied the knot on July 16, 1988. Their enduring marriage has been blessed with four children: Sam, 35, twins Schuyler and Aquinnah, 29, and Esmé, 22.
Fox’s Instagram post quickly garnered attention from his 2 million-plus followers, who flooded the comments with congratulatory messages. One admirer wrote, “Happy anniversary – so nice to see you together so many years after seeing you together on Family Ties ❤️.” Fellow actress Julianne Moore also chimed in with a simple yet heartfelt, “Happy anniversary ❤️.”
Pollan reciprocated the love with her own Instagram post, sharing another cherished photo from their youth. She wrote, “Same spot, different year! Happy anniversary my love, we haven’t changed a bit 😘 I love you!”
Reflecting on the secret to their long-lasting marriage, Fox revealed to Entertainment Tonight last May that the key is giving each other space to make mistakes and not perceiving slights. “We give each other space to make mistakes. Always remember that. Don’t perceive slights,” he advised.
The couple’s love story continues to inspire many, proving that with mutual respect, space, and unwavering affection, a lifetime of love is indeed possible.
