On Tuesday, July 16, beloved actor Michael J. Fox, 63, marked a meaningful milestone—his 36th wedding anniversary with his wife, Tracy Pollan. Taking to Instagram, Fox shared a nostalgic photo of the couple in their younger years, relaxing by a pool with warm smiles that spoke volumes about their journey together.
“Here’s to a lifetime of love with the love of a lifetime,” he wrote in the caption. “T. Forever, happy anniversary.”
The simple yet touching post quickly resonated with fans around the world. Fox and Pollan’s love story began in the 1980s when they met while filming Family Ties. What started as on-screen chemistry soon grew into a real-life connection, and in 1988, the couple tied the knot.
Just a few years later, their relationship would face an unexpected challenge. In 1991, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 29. The news was difficult, but Pollan’s support never wavered. Over the decades, she has stood by him through every stage of the journey, offering strength and encouragement.
Their shared resilience has inspired many. In 1998, Fox went public with his diagnosis and later launched the Michael J.
