Four Of Michael J. Fox’s Kids Have Announced The News
Michael J. Fox, the award-winning actor, considers fatherhood his most cherished role. Married to Tracy Pollan for over 30 years, they share four children. Fox humorously mentioned to Reader’s Digest that it sometimes feels like five. He stresses the importance of being available for his kids: “Always be available to your kids… if you say, ‘Give me five minutes,’ it’ll be 15, it’ll be 20.”
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991, Fox praised his children for their empathy and resilience. On Mother’s Day 2022, he wrote to Pollan, “Our children are beautiful, sensitive, intelligent, empathetic, independent, compassionate, adventurous, lovely people. That’s your fault.”
His eldest son, Sam, works in entertainment; twins Aquinnah and Schuyler have careers in media and education; and his youngest, Esmé, studies at Duke University. Fox continues to dedicate his life to Parkinson’s research, raising over $2 billion.
