Michael J. Fox is most popularly known for his role as time-traveling teen Marty McFly in the classic ’80s movie Back to the Future. He has also starred in movies and television shows like Family Ties, The Michael J. Fox Show, The Good Wife, and Spin City. Well documented is the fact that in his private life he has been fighting Parkinson’s disease since 1991 (he announced the ailment to the public in 1998).
You may not realize that Michael has been married to actress Tracy Pollan — who he first met when she was cast as his girlfriend on Family Ties — since 1988, and that they have four children together. Michael has said that he and Tracy come from big families and were middle children, both of them attributing their long and successful marriage to how they were raised and how they always bring a sense of humor into every situation. Tracy has also said that they tend to give each other the benefit of the doubt, which helps in marriage. They have four children together — one boy, twin girls, and another girl and all are grown up now.
Michael J. Fox — Family And Children
Their son, Sam Michael Fox, born May 30th, 1989 will be turning 34 soon and he looks just like his famous father! He does not act, although he was Mister Golden Globe in 2013, which means he was one of the young people who helps hand out trophies to Golden Globe winners. More recently he produced a short film titled Good Grief, starring his mom. He currently works in sales for a startup company. Sam and his sister Esmé are the only Fox children with public Instagram accounts.

Michael J. Fox’s Twin Daughters
Aquinnah Kathleen Fox is nearly 27 and one of the Fox’ twin daughters. She’s worked extensively with charity groups involved with Parkinson’s disease and even interned at her dad’s foundation. She also works as a global brand and marketing consultant at Ogilvy in New York. The other beautiful twin is named Schuyler Frances Fox, who is employed as a marketing associate with See Beneath, a group that is devoted to producing educational videos for children on the Autism spectrum. They were born on February 15th, 1995 and seem to be very private, so they probably aren’t going into acting any time soon. Beyond how identical they look to each other, their similarity to their mom as well is uncanny.
