Michael J. Fox is feeling the love— in more ways than one.
The actor best known for his iconic roles as Marty McFly in Back to the Future and Alex P. Keaton on beloved '80s sitcom, Family Ties, has accomplished so much throughout his decades-long career, but one particular achievement trumps them all: his marriage.
On July 16, Fox, 64, took to Instagram to share a beautiful photo of himself with his wife and fellow actor, Tracy Pollan, 65, to celebrate their anniversary. The caption reads, "37… but who's counting? Love you, T.❤️"
Almost immediately the floodgates of love and congratulations opened in the comments.
"Happy Anniversary! You two have the type of love story that should be put on film to inspire people!" wrote one commenter.
"I loved them on Family Ties, so happy to see a long, loving marriage for these two❤️🙌🍾" said another.
"I remember watching the Family Ties episodes with the two of you, thinking 'Wow, those two really have chemistry.' Who knew? Congratulations on your beautiful marriage! Happy Anniversary! ❤️🥂" shared a third.
Fox and Pollan met on the set of Family Ties in 1985. The pair were cast as love interests, and while their romance was strictly on camera at first, it eventually grew into a real life love story. They reconnected a few years later while filming Bright Lights, Big City and were engaged only seven months later. They went on to marry in 1988 and have four children together.
In 1991, Fox, then just 29 years-old was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, though he didn't make his diagnosis public until 1998. Pollan has stuck by him throughout his entire health journey, a fact which Fox has never taken for granted.
In 2023, he told CBS Mornings, "At any time she would have been forgiven to say, 'I'm just gonna step out.' But, she didn't do that." He went on to say, "She had indicated to me by saying, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health. She was able to get me through it, and go through it with me. And she has for 35 years."
Now, two years later, the devoted couple is still going strong.
So, what's their secret?
"Every day we have something we laugh about for a good two minutes," he told PEOPLE in 2020. "The kind of support she gives me, I feel like a husband, a father and a friend first, and then somewhere way down the line, I'm someone with Parkinson's."
