Actor Harrison Ford has been married to actress Calista Flockhart since June 15, 2010. The couple has been through a lot together during their 12-year marriage. Together, they share one adopted son and live together on a ranch in Jackson, Wyoming, that Ford has owned since the 1980s. They first met back in late January 2002 at the Golden Globes and have been in love ever since.

Ford is best known for his work in the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” franchises, while Flockhart is best known for her work in “Ally McBeal” and “Supergirl.” The two theatrical performers are a match made in heaven based on all accounts. Despite achieving more than a decade of marital happiness, it hasn’t always been a cakewalk for the pair.

Ford has dealt with his fair share of failed relationships in the past, which makes this marriage to Flockhart even more special. He had been married twice before he met Flockhart, while Flockhart had never been previously married.

After meeting in 2002, the pair dated for quite some time before getting engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2009. Just over a year later, they were officially husband and wife, with a beautiful ceremony in Santa Fe, New Mexico, presided over by Governor Bill Richardson.

Both Ford and Flockhart have publicly spoken about their relationship over the years, although they tend to lead a pretty private life despite their widespread fame and recognition. Let’s look at this famous couple’s relationship over the years and what their marriage is like today.

In January 2002, Ford and Flockhart first locked eyes during the Golden Globes ceremony. According to Hello! Magazine, the pair had a conversation for about 20 minutes before Ford accidentally spilled wine on the actress. Thankfully, that didn’t deter the couple from embracing the undeniable spark between them.

In the early stages of their relationship, Flockhart recruited the help of her friend James Marsden to act as a wingman for her, according to Express. They had dinner in Brentwood, Los Angeles, before going back to Ford’s house for the evening.

Flockhart was 38 at the time, while Ford was 60. However, their age difference isn’t an issue for the pair. Flockhart explained, “Wow, I keep forgetting that he’s 22 years older than me. I sometimes feel very much older than Harrison.”

Ford recalled what it was like when he and Flockhart first began dating so many years ago. “I was 60 when I fell in love with Calista,” he said. “What surprised me most was that I was still capable of establishing a long-lasting relationship, making a serious commitment.” The actor also referred to his wife as a “wonderful lady.”

The pair dated for several years before getting engaged in 2009 and tied the knot the following year. According to PEOPLE, they married in New Mexico, where Ford was filming “Cowboys and Aliens” at the time. Their ceremony took place at the Governor’s Mansion in Santa Fe and was performed by Richardson, as he and his wife are friends with the Hollywood couple. This was Ford’s third marriage and Flockhart’s first.

Ford and Flockhart have been able to get through many challenges and tough times together. According to the BBC, Ford was involved in a serious plane accident in 2015 after being forced to make an emergency crash landing following an engine malfunction. The collision left him with a shattered pelvis, broken back, and ruptured ankle. Fortunately, Flockhart was there by his side throughout his entire recovery.

The couple now lives together at Ford’s ranch in Wyoming and typically hosts their large family there. According to Parade, Ford has two children 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.

As a couple that has been together for two decades, many people look to Ford and Flockhart for advice on romantically surviving in Hollywood. Speaking with Parade, Ford smiled and said, “Don’t talk. Nod your head.”

For Flockhart, she has found that laughter is the best way to keep the spark alive in their long-term marriage. “Harrison and I laugh a lot, and humor is everything to me,” the actress told FOX News in 2017.

Nowadays, the pair works together to keep their romance alive and help raise Liam. “Harrison is a wonderful parent,” Flockhart gushed to Closer Weekly. “He’s funny and warm and loving.” According to PEOPLE, Ford said, “It’s a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child’s growing up, which is always an endless springtime.”

Ford and Flockhart have already surpassed notable milestones in their relationship, as they recently celebrated being together for 20 years in January 2022. They will be celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary in June 2022.
