J. Fox, the acclaimed actor, regards fatherhood as his most treasured role. He has been married to Tracy Pollan for more than 30 years, and together they have four children. Fox humorously remarked to Reader’s Digest that it occasionally feels like they have five.

Fox underscores the significance of being consistently present for his children: “Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, ‘Give me five minutes, give me 10 minutes,’ it’ll be 15, it’ll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.”

Having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991, Fox commended his children for their empathy and resilience. His Instagram frequently showcases his strong connection with them. On Mother’s Day 2022, he expressed to Pollan, “Our children are beautiful, sensitive, intelligent, empathetic, independent, compassionate, adventurous, lovely people. That’s your fault.
