Since June 15, 2010, actor Harrison Ford and actress Calista Flockhart have been wed. Over the course of their marriage, the pair has experienced a lot together.
Living together on a ranch that Ford has owned since the 1980s in Jackson, Wyoming, they have one adopted son between them.
They fell in love right away after their initial encounter at the Golden Globes in late January 2002.
Ford is most recognized for his work in the ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ series, while Flockhart gained notoriety for her portrayal of ‘Ally McBeal’ in the title character.
By all accounts, the two theatrical performers are a match made in heaven. Even though the couple has enjoyed their marriage for more than ten years, it hasn’t always been easy.
Ford’s marriage to Flockhart is all the more precious because he has experienced his fair share of
failed relationships in the past. Before he met Flockhart, he had been married twice; she had never been married.
The couple first connected in 2002 and dated for a while before getting engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2009.
A little over a year later, they were pronounced husband and wife in a lovely ceremony officiated by Governor Bill Richardson in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Ford and Flockhart have both openly discussed their love over the years, yet despite their great celebrity and acclaim,
they generally lead quite private lives. The acclaimed actor has frequently expressed his admiration for Flockhart and his adopted son, Liam.

Ford and Flockhart made their first eye contact at the 2002 Golden Globes ceremony in January. Before Ford unintentionally spilled wine on the actress,
the two spoke for nearly 20 minutes, according to Hello! Magazine. Fortunately, that didn’t stop the pair from enjoying their evident chemistry.
Before becoming engaged in 2009 and being married the following year, the couple dated for a number of years.
They got married in New Mexico, where Ford was shooting “Cowboys & Aliens” at the time, claims People Magazine.
Ford’s ranch in Wyoming is where the pair currently resides together and frequently hosts their shared family.
Ford has four children in total—two from his first marriage to Mary Marquardt, two from his second marriage to Melissa Mathison,
and one adopted son named Liam—whom Flockhart adopted in 2001, before she met Ford. These children are all listed in Parade Magazine as having been raised by Ford.
Ford spoke with Parade Magazine in an interview about the latest member of his already large family:
‘When I first met Liam and Calista, I believe he was between 6 and 8 months old. Since then, we have been dating.
It was totally unexpected of me. Certainly, the unexpected aspect was accurate. The joy component is also accurate.
Despite his nearly catastrophic plane crash in 2015, the actor collected aircraft because he has grown to like flying.
To spend more time with Flockhart and Liam, he has exchanged his weekends for something worthwhile.
‘I do anything Calista and Liam want to do on the weekends. On Sunday morning, we’ll set aside a few hours to go hiking or motorcycle riding, he told the magazine.
Many people look to Ford and Flockhart, a couple who have been together for 20 years, for guidance on how to survive romantically in Hollywood.
Ford has always been a wise man when it comes to love. In a 2003 interview with People Magazine, he extolled Flockhart:
‘Romantic love is one of the enthralling and satisfying types of love, and I believe that it is possible
to experience it at any stage of life. Both my ability to fall in love and my subsequent love life did not surprise me.
Ford and his wife have the ‘wonderful opportunity’ of watching their son Liam grow; he compares this to a “endless springtime.’
According to the Daily Mail, Ford and Flockhart both transported their youngest son Liam to Amherst College in Massachusetts in 2020 on their own private aircraft.
The two had been considering their return to show business ever since. Ford shared its future plans in a January 2023 interview with Fox News:
‘I wish we could find one that we could do jointly. After spending the last 20 years raising our son Liam, she has recently started working again.
(She is) looking forward to getting back to work. I’m hoping we can come up with something to do jointly.
Flockhart last appeared on television in 2021 on the CW’s ‘Supergirl,’ where she portrayed the erratic editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, Cat Grant.
Ford, on the other hand, co-stars with Helen Mirren, a winner of an Academy Award, in the Paramount+ production ‘1923.’
Ford and Flockhart faced challenges throughout their relationship, despite the fact that they are now in a good place. According to People, Ford faced criticism after parting ways with Mathison.
‘(The media) spun the most cloth with the least material again and again,’ he said. ‘It caused my kids a lot of pain. Because 90% of it was incorrect, it caused harm to a lot of people.
Ford had raised Malcolm and Georgia before taking care of Liam. Malcolm reportedly plays in a band named The Dough Rollers, according to Interview Magazine.
Ford had encouraged Mathison to realize the possibility in collaborating with Steven Spielberg during their partnership.
The filmmaker told Entertainment Weekly that after speaking with Mathison’s former partner Ford,
she had a ‘change of heart’ about working with him on ‘E.T.’ Mathison tragically passed away in 2015.
Ford and Flockhart seemed to understand one other’s loneliness at the time they first met because she was a single parent.
Although I have experienced loneliness at times in my life, Ford said that you shouldn’t live your life trying to avoid feeling lonely.
Ford was happy to have Flockhart and her son Liam in his life. Ford said, ‘She’s brought a child back into my house.
Other than Liam, my youngest is 17.’ It’s a beautiful chance to take part in a child’s development,
which is perpetually in bloom. You can see the results of the caring, growing, and blossoming.
Despite having a 22-year age difference, Ford and Flockhart are obviously very devoted to one another and their mixed family.
