Through heartfelt posts on social media and their heartfelt participation in his 2023 documentary, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, his deep bond with his family shines through. Let’s take a closer look at the family behind the man.”
“Sam Michael Fox, the couple’s eldest child, was born on May 30, 1989. Michael J. Fox fondly recalls the excitement and anticipation he and Tracy felt as they prepared to become parents, even serenading their unborn son. Now 35, Sam has carved out his own path in the entertainment industry, contributing to projects like Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie and the music video for Ben Barnes’ ’11:11.’
Michael regularly shares heartfelt moments about Sam on social media, celebrating not only his son’s impressive accomplishments but also the deep, unbreakable bond they share.”
“On February 15, 1995, Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan welcomed their twin daughters, Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances Fox. Both have followed impressive academic journeys, with Aquinnah earning degrees in psychology, visual and media studies, and art history from Duke University. She was also active in the university’s dance program. Now based in Los Angeles, Aquinnah works at Annapurna Pictures, having previously held a marketing role in New York City.
On their 29th birthday, Fox shared a heartfelt tribute to his daughters, writing, ‘Double the love. You’re doing well. Doods, I adore you.’ His words beautifully capture the pride and affection he feels for his talented twins.”
“Schuyler, the other half of the dynamic twin duo, graduated from Pomona College with a bachelor’s degree in psychology before earning her master’s in education from Harvard University.

Though she doesn’t maintain a public social media presence, her father frequently shares loving posts about her. On her 20th birthday, he wrote a heartfelt message, affectionately calling her ‘Ezzie’ and celebrating the positive impact she has on his life. Esmé is currently continuing her academic journey at Duke University, following in her sister Aquinnah’s footsteps.”
“Over the years, Michael’s children have shown extraordinary support for him, particularly in his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease. Sam has been vocal in his pride for his father, often sharing heartfelt tributes on social media. The twins, Aquinnah and Schuyler, have stood by his side in raising awareness for Parkinson’s, taking part in the making of Still: A Michael J.
