Michael J. Fox celebrates daughter and ‘renaissance gal’ Esmé’s birthday with photo slideshow
Michael J. Fox is celebrating the 23rd birthday of his “renaissance” gal” — his daughter Esmé.
The “Back to the Future” star and his wife, Tracy Pollan, both wished Esmé a happy birthday on Nov. 3 with Instagram slideshows of family moments together.
“Esme, Happy birthday to our renaissance gal,” Fox wrote on Instagram. “You do it all. Your Dood loves you very much..Who doesn’t? Keep living your best life.”
Pollan also had some sweet words for her daughter on Instagram along with shots of them together in some beautiful nature scenes.
“I love you @esmeannabelle Happy Birthday!!!” she wrote. “I love absolutely everything about you and I am blessed to be able to explore the world with you! You are my heart.”
Esmé is the youngest of four children for the couple, who have been married since 1988. They also share son Sam, 35, and twin daughters Schuyler and Aquinnah, 29.
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 and credits his family for their support over the years.
“Well, Tracy’s amazing,” Fox told Willie Geist on Sunday TODAY in 2020. “She’s there in the front lines with me every single day. She never pretends to know as much as I know. And the other thing Tracy does is, if there’s something funny, let’s get to the funny. We’ll deal with the tragic later.”
He also spoke about his children.
“They’re all smarter than me, and all better looking than me, they’re all taller than me,” Fox said. “And so I look up to them.”
