Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan’s 29-year-old daughter, Schuyler, found a special way to celebrate her mom’s 64th birthday.
On June 22, Schuyler had a beautiful wedding in the Catskills, and it just happened to be on the same day as her mom’s birthday. Schuyler, who is the twin sister of Aquinnah, was the bride in a storybook wedding.
Here’s more about Schuyler’s wedding and the sweet birthday message Michael J. Fox shared for his wife of 36 years.
Michael J. Fox, 63, and Tracy Pollan, 64, first met almost 40 years ago when they were cast as lovers on the popular TV show *Family Ties*.
Tracy Pollan remembers Michael as “very cocky” and “funny,” but she also says he had a lot of confidence back then.
At the time, Michael J. Fox was dating Nancy McKeon, the star of *The Facts of Life*, while Tracy Pollan was dating Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon and Tracy broke up in 1987, and he later started dating Kyra Sedgwick.
Despite these past relationships, Michael and Tracy’s on-screen romance blossomed into real love, leading to their 36-year marriage and a happy family.
Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan reconnected on the set of the 1988 film *Bright Lights, Big City*. Both were single at the time, so they took the chance and got married later that same year.
“It sounds really horrible, but it was one of those things,” Fox told People in 1989. He joked about their situation, saying, “Someone goes, ‘Did you hear that so-and-so aren’t together anymore?’ And you go, ‘Hmm, that’s too bad. Where’s the phone?’”
Just after their wedding, Michael and Tracy became parents for the first time when their son, Sam Michael, was born on May 30, 1989.
Only two years later, Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Tracy stood by him through it all, offering her unconditional love and support.
In early November 2023, Michael J. Fox appeared on CBS Mornings and talked about how his loving wife, Tracy Pollan, has been his biggest supporter for the past 35 years.
Fox shared that dealing with his Parkinson’s disease was tough because he knew it would get worse, but he didn’t know how quickly or what to expect. “The hardest part of my diagnosis was grappling with the certainty of the diagnosis and the uncertainty of the situation,” Fox said. “My wife made it clear that she was with me for the duration.”
Despite the challenges, Michael and Tracy grew their family. They welcomed twins, Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances, on February 15, 1995, and their daughter Esmé Annabelle was born in November 2001.
Fox gives this parenting advice to other parents: “Always be available to your kids. If you say, ‘Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,’ it will turn into fifteen, then twenty. By then, they might not be as excited about sharing what they wanted to tell you.”
Now that their children are grown up and moved out, Michael and Tracy are enjoying life as empty nesters. Michael jokes, “We get more food because they’re not here to eat it all!”
Their children are also starting their own families. On June 24, People magazine reported that Schuyler, 29, married her long-time partner on June 22 in a beautiful wedding at Hayfield Catskills in New York.
“The weather was absolutely perfect, despite the heat wave,” a source told People. “They dined under a tent, and it really looked like a picture-perfect garden party. They seemed like such an adorable, gentle family.”
Michael shared a photo of the family on a trail in North Dakota from July 12, 2015, and it shows them enjoying time together.
Recently, political commentator George Stephanopoulos and his comedian girlfriend Ali Wentworth, along with Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey, attended a special event. The celebration was for Schuyler’s wedding and Tracy Pollan’s 64th birthday.
Guests stayed at two beautiful places: the rustic Bluebird Hunter Lodge and the stylish Scribner’s Catskill Lodge. Scribner’s Catskill Lodge has also welcomed famous guests like Olivia Wilde and Rami Malek, known for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Even though Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan haven’t talked much about Schuyler’s wedding in public, and their daughters usually stay out of the spotlight, their son Sam did share a sweet birthday message for his mom.
Sam, now 35, posted a photo of Tracy dancing with one of the twins. He wrote, “Happy birthday Teep!! I love you so much and I’m very excited that I actually get to spend the day with you!! ([Schuyler] don’t worry, your post is coming later).”
Michael J. Fox also shared a loving birthday message for Tracy on Instagram. He wrote, “In every beautiful way, it’s beautiful Tracy’s beautiful day. I love you and today will be magnificent.” He added a black-and-white photo of Tracy and signed it, “Always forever your Mike with so-much love. Happy birthday. It’s gonna be an epic day.”

Father’s Middle Son Doesn’t Look Enough Like Him So He Conducts a DNA Test on the Boy
Gerald’s doubts about his middle child’s appearance prompted him to request a paternity test, unaware that this decision would unravel his 12-year marriage.
One day, while looking at a school photo of his seven-year-old son, Aidan, Gerald felt a familiar knot of anxiety. Aidan looked strikingly different from his brothers, igniting doubts that had been simmering for years. Despite having what many considered the American dream—three beautiful boys and a loving wife, Julia—he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
His first son, Liam, had been the spitting image of him. But when Aidan was born, everything changed. With blonde hair and different facial features, Aidan didn’t resemble Gerald in the slightest. Julia had reassured him that babies change, but the feeling never left.
As their third son, Owen, arrived, the doubts solidified. Owen looked just like Liam, intensifying Gerald’s focus on Aidan’s differences. When a nightmare about Julia and another man shook him awake, he decided it was time to confront his fears.
That evening, after putting the boys to bed, Gerald nervously brought up the idea of a paternity test. Julia’s reaction was explosive; she felt betrayed and accused him of not trusting her after twelve years of marriage. Despite her anger, Gerald insisted that a test would ease his doubts.
After a tense period of silence, Gerald conducted the test, explaining it to Aidan as a fun family project. When the results came back confirming Aidan was indeed his son, relief quickly turned to shame.
Showing Julia the results only deepened the rift between them. She felt shattered by his lack of trust and began contemplating divorce. Gerald pleaded for a chance to fix things, but Julia emphasized that the real issue wasn’t the test—it was the breach of trust.
They started couples therapy, but the damage lingered. Julia expressed that she wasn’t sure she could ever fully forgive him. As they navigated this painful chapter, Gerald realized that some questions are best left unasked. The test had brought clarity about paternity but had irrevocably damaged the foundation of their marriage. Now, they faced the long road of healing, questioning if their love could survive such deep wounds.
