Michael J. Fox and his wife of 36 years Tracy Pollan regularly share the love for each other and their 3 girls on Instagram – but their youngest, Esmé, is much more private

It’s official: Michael J. Fox is one of the soppiest people on Instagram.

On Valentine’s Day, he wrote a gushing message to his wife of 36 years Tracy Pollan. “You have the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen (even in sunglasses), I still get lost in them. Happy Valentine’s Day @tracy.pollan. Yours forever.”

Pollan replied with an equally loved-up response: “Happy Valentine’s Day my love, will you please be mine?”

It’s not the first time Fox has showed his softer side on socials either. Late last year he celebrated his youngest daughter Esmé on her birthday.

“Esmé, Happy birthday to our renaissance gal,” he wrote on November 3 alongside photos of his youngest daughter. “You do it all. Your Dood loves you very much … Who doesn’t? Keep living your best life.”

“I love you so much!! thank you!” Esmé, whose account is private, replied to her dad’s post on the site.

Pollan also weighed in. “@esmeannabelle Happy Birthday!!! I love absolutely everything about you and I am blessed to be able to explore the world with you! You are my heart.”
