Michael J. Fox shares rare photos of his and Tracy Pollan’s daughter Esmé

Michael J. Fox celebrated his daughter Esmé’s 23rd birthday with a rare tribute on social media.

The “Back to the Future” star, 63, went to Instagram this weekend with a heartfelt message for the birthday boy, whom he shares with his wife Tracy Pollan.

“Esme, happy birthday to our renaissance girl. You do it all,” he wrote to the carousel. ‘Your Death loves you very much. Who doesn’t? Keep living your best life. ”

Fox included several photos of Esmé, who is private on social media and rarely appears in public.

In the first photo, the Duke University student posed in a sunny courtyard wearing a denim skirt and purple vest. He also included photos of her smiling at a restaurant and playing with a dog.

Together with Esmé, Fox shares 35-year-old son Sam and 29-year-old twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler with Pollan.

The actress, 64, too shared a sweet message to their youngest on Instagram Sunday.

“I love you @esmeannabelle Happy Birthday!!!” she wrote. “I love absolutely everything about you and I am blessed to explore the world with you! You are my heart .”

Pollan’s post included several photos from their mother-daughter travels, from canyon hikes to riverside walks.

“Oh, the women in my world,” Fox commented under the photos. “So many fantastic places that you make better by being there.”

Although the ‘Teen Wolf’ actor rarely posts photos of his family, he does so often posts a sweet tribute for their birthdays.

He and Pollan married in 1988, three years after they first met on the set of “Family Ties.”

The actor was diagnosed with Parkinson’s three years after they tied the knot but didn’t until 1998.

Despite his 30-year health battlePollan has been a pillar of strength for her husband.

“Tracy wasn’t sentimental or romantic about it at all,” he says told AARP magazine in 2017 from his wife’s reaction.

“No sign of sadness or fear. Tracy said something like, “You’ve got a rock in your shoe. We’ll do what we can until you can get it out. If you’re limping with the stone in the meantime, that’s no problem. You can hold my hand and we’ll get over it. ”

Although they have remained strong over the years, Fox admitted to his condition in April 2023 has deteriorated with age.

‘I’m not going to lie. It’s getting hard, it’s getting harder. It’s getting harder. Every day it becomes more difficult,” he said on a television channel episode of ‘CBS Sunday Morning’.

“You won’t die from Parkinson’s. You’re dying of Parkinson’s disease,” he added. “So – so I’m – I’ve been contemplating its mortality.

Although Pollan previously told Page Six that it can be ‘difficult’ to remain ‘always optimistic’ she said they are focusing on simply “(putting) one foot in front of the other and leaning on family and friends for support.”
