Michael J. Fox, an award-winning actor, considers fatherhood his favorite role. Married to Tracy Pollan for over 30 years, they have four children together. Fox humorously mentioned to Reader’s Digest that sometimes it feels like there are five.
Fox emphasizes the importance of always being available to your children: “Always be available to your children.
Because if you say, ‘Give me five minutes, give me 10 minutes,’ it’ll be 15, it’ll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will wear off regardless of what they wanted to share you with.” Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, he praised his children for their empathy and resilience.
His Instagram often shows his close bond with them. On Mother’s Day 2022, he wrote to Pollan: “Our children are beautiful, sensitive, intelligent, empathetic, independent, compassionate, adventurous, lovely people. It’s your fault.”
Fox’s oldest son, Sam, works in the entertainment industry, and his twins, Aquinnah and Schuyler, have careers in media and education. His youngest, Esmé, is a student at Duke University. Fox continues to dedicate his life to Parkinson’s research, raising over $2 billion.
