Michael J. Fox, best known for his legendary film and TV roles, has always said that being a dad is his greatest achievement. He’s been married to actress Tracy Pollan for more than three decades, and together they’ve raised four children. In a light-hearted comment during an interview with Reader’s Digest, Fox joked that at times it feels like he has five kids, highlighting just how full of life their home really is.
He’s long believed that showing up for your children—every single time—matters most. “When your kids ask for your time, give it to them right then,” he once advised. “If you say ‘later,’ that moment might be gone forever. You miss out on what made it special in the first place.”
Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991, Fox has continued to be a symbol of strength—not only in the public eye but especially within his family. He’s often expressed admiration for his children’s compassion, patience, and understanding. His Instagram is filled with glimpses into their close-knit bond.
On Mother’s Day 2022, he publicly thanked his wife with touching words: “Our kids are kind, curious, smart, empathetic, and brave… and that’s all thanks to you.”
The family’s love and support for each other shine through—and their latest message shows just how strong that connection remains. If this story moved you, share your thoughts in the comments below.
