Actor Michael J. Fox<\/strong> is gearing up for the Oct. 14 release of his new book, Future Boy. In a new interview, Fox \u2014 who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 \u2014 spoke about his wife of 37 years, Tracy Pollan<\/a>.<\/p>\n “She\u2019s my best friend, my partner,” Fox, 64, told People magazine<\/a> in an exclusive interview that was published on Oct. 11. “Tracy\u2019s the first person I check in with and the last person I check in with.”<\/p>\n Fox and Pollan first met on the set of Family Ties in 1985. They’d reconnect and fall in love a short while later, eventually tying the knot in 1988. In the years that followed, Pollan has been a rock for Fox, as he navigated through the ups and downs of Parkinson’s.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the things I\u2019ll always love Tracy for is that at that moment [of my diagnosis], she didn’t blink,” Fox said during a 2020 appearance on the Today show<\/a>. “She\u2019s there in the front lines with me every single day. She never pretends to know as much as I know. And the other thing Tracy does is, if there\u2019s something funny, let\u2019s get to the funny. We\u2019ll deal with the tragic later.”<\/p>\n Indeed, Pollan has stuck by her husband’s side without question.<\/p>\n “Tracy made it clear that she was with me for the duration,” Fox said in November 2022<\/a>. And Pollan has done exactly that. In July 2025, the couple celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary, which Pollan marked with a post on social media.<\/p>\n “Happy anniversary baby! Love you so,” she captioned a photo<\/a>. Fox also posted a photo in honor of the special day.<\/p>\n “37\u2026 but who\u2019s counting? Love you, T,” he wrote in the caption<\/a>.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 11, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
