The 29-year-old daughter of Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan discovered the ideal method to honor her mother’s birthday.
Aquinnah’s twin sister Schuyler dressed up for her fairytale wedding in the Catskills, exchanging vows on June 22—the day her mother turned 64.
Learn about Schuyler’s nuptials and Fox’s heartfelt birthday greetings to his 36-year wife by continuing to read.
Michael J. Fox, 63, and Tracy Pollan, 64, were paired as on-screen lovers in the popular television series Family Ties nearly forty years ago.
“It was very arrogant,” Pollan remembers. “He was arrogant, but he was funny.”
Pollan was with Kevin Bacon, who began seeing Kyra Sedgwick in 1987, the same year he broke from Pollan, and Fox was dating Nancy McKeon, the star of the TV series Facts of Life, while the two were in love.
The Back to the Future actor and his current spouse reconnected on the Bright Lights, Big City set in 1988. Despite being unmarried at the time, they seized the chance to tie the knot in the same year.
In 1989, Fox told people, “It sounds really horrible, but it was one of those things.” He goes on, making jokes about their relationship statuses, “Someone says, ‘Did you hear that so-and-so aren’t together anymore?'” And you think, “Well, that’s not good.” Is the phone here?
Family
Sam Michael Fox was born on May 30, 1989, a few time after Pollan and Fox tied the knot.
Fox was given a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis just two years later, and his devoted wife readily provided her with unwavering support.
Early in November 2023, the Teen Wolf actor talked about how his devoted wife has been his biggest supporter for 35 years on CBS Morning.
“Handling the certainty of the diagnosis and the uncertainty of the situation was the hardest part of my diagnosis,” Fox added. “I just knew things would worsen. While the progress was uncertain and indefinite, the diagnosis was certain. My spouse explicitly stated that she will be by my side the entire time.
The stars added twins, Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances, born February 15, 1995, and Esmé Annabelle, born November 2001, despite the difficulties they were enduring.
“Always be available to your kids,” Fox advises other parents who are also parents. For example, if you say, “Give me five minutes, give me ten,” it will actually be fifteen or twenty. And whatever it was they wanted to impart with you will have faded by the time you arrive.
‘Picture perfect’
Pollan and Fox, who are empty nesters since their grown children have left the house, are content with their lives as it was 36 years ago.

With the four kids not present to finish everything, Fox jokes, “We get more food.” “They’re not taking it all,” he continues.
They are also beginning their own families.
People revealed on June 24 that Schuyler, 29, tied the knot with her lifelong companion on Saturday, June 22, in New York’s Catskill Mountains.
A source close to the opulent wedding at Hayfield Catskills told People, “The weather was absolutely perfect, despite the heat wave.” It appeared to be a picture-perfect garden party as they ate under a tent. They appeared to be such a sweet, kind family.
Political analyst George Stephanopoulos, his comic girlfriend Ali Wentworth, and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey were also present, according to the tipster.
The unique mountain hotel Scribner’s Catskill Lodge, which has previously welcomed guests including actor Olivia Wide and Rami Malek, best known for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, was also used by guests.
‘Forever your Mike’
In addition, Pollan turned 64 on that day.
While the girls avoid the spotlight and the parents haven’t discussed Schuyler’s marriage in public, Sam, now 35, sent his mother a sweet birthday letter that included a shout-out to his sister.
“Happy birthday, Teep! I’m thrilled to be spending the day with you because I genuinely love you so much! ([Schuyler] don’t worry, your post will be up later),” he said as the description for the picture in which he and his mother can be seen dancing.
We are grateful to our amazing friends that showed up to help us with our mission. I really appreciate what you do. We all contributed $4 million to halt this.

And Fox sent his devoted wife the cutest birthday greeting.
“Tracey’s gorgeous day is beautiful in every aspect. The actor posted a black-and-white picture of Pollan on Instagram on Saturday along with the message, “I love you and today will be magnificent.” “With so much love, Mike, you will always be mine. Greetings on your birthday. It will be a memorable day.
