Michael J. Fox Once Feared Parkinson’s Would Change His Marriage but His Wife Stayed by His Side Actor Michael J. Fox met actress Tracy Pollan while working on the popular television series Family Ties in the 1980s. Their friendship later turned into a relationship, and the couple married in 1988. At the time, Fox was one of the most recognizable television and film actors, known for projects such as Back to the Future and his successful television career. In 1991, about three years after their marriage, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 29. Parkinson's is a neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Fox has spoken openly about how the diagnosis initially made him worry about his future, including the fear that the disease could change his personal life and relationships. Over the years, the couple continued supporting each other while raising their family and speaking publicly about Parkinson's awareness. Their efforts later expanded into advocacy and research support when they both started the The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which focuses on funding scientific studies and improving treatments for people living with the condition. #MichaelJFox #TracyPollan #celebrity #hollywoodcelebrities #FamilyTies - @anoraaaa01
