- Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan have four children.
- They have a son named Sam and three daughters named Aquinnah, Schuyler, and Esmé.
Michael J. Fox's family is his biggest support system.
The "Back to the Future" star has four children with Tracy Pollan, his wife of 35 years. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 when he was 29 years old, has been outspoken about his family's support. His wife and kids appeared in his 2023 documentary "Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie" and have attended red carpet events with the actor.
In a 2009 interview with Good Housekeeping, the star said that his kids have learned "empathy, resilience, and also sorting out what's important from what's not" as he lives with Parkinson's.
"They're all smarter than me and all better looking than me, they're all taller than me," Fox said of his children in an interview for "Sunday Today With Willie Geist" in 2020. "And so I look up to them."
