Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy Pollan, enjoyed a date night at Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.
Fox and Pollan, each 65, were spotted sitting courtside at Latest York City’s Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, June 10, where the Latest York Knicks narrowly beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 within the championship series. (The Knicks lead the Spurs 3-1 within the series ahead of the Saturday, June 13, matchup.)
Fox has been cheering on the Knicks throughout their playoff run, previously attending two games last month against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Back to the Future actor has been married to Pollan since 1988, the identical yr that he was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s disease on the age of 29. Fox publicly confirmed his diagnosis seven years later.
“My life is ready up so I can pack Parkinson’s together with me if I even have to,” Fox said on CBS Sunday Mornings in 2023. “Yeah, it’s banging on the door. Yeah, I mean, I’m not gonna lie. It’s gettin’ hard, it’s gettin’ harder. It’s gettin’ tougher. Each day it’s tougher. But that’s the best way it’s. You don’t die from Parkinson’s. You die with Parkinson’s.”
He continued on the time, “I’ve been occupied with the mortality of it. … I’m not gonna be 80. I’m not gonna be 80.”
Fox, who launched an eponymous nonprofit supporting Parkinson’s research amid his health battle, ultimately retired from acting in 2020.
“After I left school and moved from Canada to L.A. to start out making it as an actor, a teacher of mine told me, ‘Fox, you’re not going to be cute endlessly,’” Fox said throughout the 2026 Actor Awards in March, closing out the “I Am an Actor” monologue. “I said, ‘Possibly just long enough, sir.’ After a couple of years of dumpster diving in L.A., I ended up on Family Ties, where I received the most important gift of my profession: I met my wife, actor Tracy Pollan, who played Ellen, my girlfriend.”
Fox further gushed that Pollan gave him the gift of their 4 children: Sam, 37, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 31, and Esmé, 24.
“Sometimes I wish to remind them, ‘If I weren’t an actor, they wouldn’t be here.’ By the best way, he’s not an actor — he’s my date,” Fox added on the time, pointing to Sam, who attended the awards ceremony. “I’m Michael J. Fox. I’m a dad and I’m an actor.”
The Teen Wolf actor has also begun occupied with and questioning his eventual mortality amid his Parkinson’s battle.
“There’s no timeline, there’s no series of stages that you just undergo — not in the identical way that you just would, say, with prostate cancer,” Fox told The Times of London last yr. “It’s rather more mysterious and enigmatic. There should not many individuals who’ve had Parkinson’s for 35 years. I’d like to simply not get up someday. That’d be really cool. I don’t want it to be dramatic. I don’t wish to trip over furniture, smash my head.”
