She looked a lot like her mother, so another well-wisher wrote, “Little Tracy! And very lovely! 💝💝. An admirer at last shared affectionately. And “She’s so gorgeous! Like her parents, who are both very attractive. Best wishes and blessings to her.
With minors in journalism and visual media, Esmé is presently enrolled at Duke University to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Global Cultural Studies and Literature. In 2025, she is scheduled to graduate.
She also has a strong professional background, having worked as a teaching assistant and intern at the Young Women’s Leadership School of the Bronx, as well as an intern with the Innocence Project.
Esmé has also served as a trending and explainers’ reporter for the Tampa Bay Times as a research fellow at the Duke Center on Science and Technology Policy. She is currently a part-time reporter for The 9th Street Journal and formerly worked as a news reporter for Bloomberg News.
In addition to Esmé, Michael and Tracy have three other children: twin daughters Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances, both 29, and a 35-year-old son, Sam Michael.
As Esmé left for college in 2020, Michael and Tracy discussed their plan at the “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s” Gala, which was held in New York City as a benefit for The Michael J. Fox Foundation. “We are going to be empty nesters, so… we are going to do some traveling!” he said.
The long and prosperous marriage is being enjoyed by the couple. The two divulged the key to the success and durability of their partnership. Given that her husband believes she’s always trying her hardest, Tracy underlined the value of giving each other the benefit of the doubt.
Michael J. Fox advocated celebrating the wonderful things in life and each other by concentrating on their positive attributes. The recent wedding of their twin daughter was one such occasion that brought the family much joy and emphasized their strong ties.
As we previously reported, Schuyler Fox married her mother on June 22, 2024, a day that was particularly magical because it was her 64th birthday. The wedding was picture-perfect. The setting for the magical wedding, which seemed like it was plucked from a fairy tale book, was the Catskill Mountains in New York.
The site, Hayfield Catskills, exuded grandeur and rustic charm, creating the ideal atmosphere for Schuyler to say “I do.” A “breathtaking mountain valley cradling two majestic barns,” according to the venue’s website, provided wedding guests with an experience that was unrivaled.
“They dined under a tent, and it really looked like a picture perfect garden party,” said a person who was considered an onlooker by a media site that wrote an article about Schuyler’s special day. They appeared to be such a sweet, kind family [sic].
The same source affirmed that everything was ideal, even the weather, “despite the heat wave.” A perfect description of the location can be found on Hayfield’s website, which states that the area is “surrounded by stunning waterfalls, breathtaking hiking trails, and bucolic farmland.”
The rustic and comfortable boutique hotel that served as lodging for the celebrity-studded guest list, which included George Stephanopoulos, Ali Wentworth, and Jennifer Grey, was called Bluebird Hunter Lodge. The bride and groom reportedly held their pre-wedding parties here as well.
Scribner’s Catskill Lodge, famous for having played host to some of Tinseltown’s biggest stars, was a popular destination for those who did not stay at Bluebird Hunter Lodge. Among the celebs who have stayed there are A-listers Olivia Wilde and Rami Malek.
During their stay in the woodlands, Schuyler’s visitors had much to do thanks to the variety of activities featured on the venue’s website. Those looking to unwind and rejuvenate can play golf or go to the local spa.
Fly-fishing and zip-lining are also available in the vicinity of Hayfield. Those who were feeling especially daring may “swim in wide open lakes or discover secret swimming holes.” Drive to a vantage point or hike to the summit of New York State’s biggest two-tier waterfall.
They might also choose a more laid-back pastime, such as perusing antique shops or farm stalls. In keeping with Hayfield’s outdoor theme, visitors might enjoy roasted marshmallows “while gazing up at the mountains, or sip local bourbon by a roasting fire.”
Stunning images of Hayfield are accessible on Instagram, but there are yet no images of Schuyler’s real wedding. One can imagine how beautiful the 29-year-old’s special day was based on those photos and the information on their website.
The primary events take place in Hayfield’s barns, which successfully combine modern flair with the preservation of its historic architecture and character.
However, “they’re also appropriately appointed for even formal events, with new bathrooms, pristine hardwood floors, hot and cold water, wifi, and hand-blown-glass antique pendant lights.” Both still have tin roofs and hand-hewn beams.
Up to 150 people can be accommodated by the specially created venue’s furniture, which includes ceremony benches and handcrafted meal tables. Hayfield additionally features “turn of the century wooden folding dining chairs, an antique hand-crafted bar, and two gorgeous wooden antique display tables [sic].”
Adhering to their love of rustic beauty, Hayfield’s furniture was made entirely by hand using wood joinery and no power tools. It is evident from the numerous positive reviews of the venue that Hayfield is a top choice for all wedding requirements.
In addition to “candy color sunsets” and “fragrant breezes,” Schuyler’s special day was made even sweeter by the fact that her mom, whom she loved, also celebrated her birthday on the same day. Over the same weekend, Michael posted a touching ode to his wife on Instagram.
The star of “Back to the Future” posted two pictures. The first had a lovely black-and-white photo of Tracy, while the second featured a cute photograph of the two of them snuggling outside.
Tracy’s magnificent day is lovely in every aspect. Today will be amazing, and I love you. Always and forever, Mike, you have my undying love. Cheers to your birthday. Michael wrote in his caption, “It’s going to be an epic day ❤️[sic].”
After more than 30 years of marriage, the charming couple is still together with their lovely family. For Tracy and Michael, family is more important than anything else. They have frequently boasted about their children, such as last year (2023), when Michael shared a devotion to Schuyler and Aquinnah on their birthday.
He posted a rotating collection of images that included two distinct father-daughter encounters with each of the three of them as well as a picture of them all together. To his daughters, he wrote: “Weeeeeeeeeeee! Happy birthday, Schuyler and Aquinnah! You two lead the best lives possible! Dood, love.
They love and support him just as much as Michael loves and supports his girls. Aquinnah and Schuyler attended Michael’s lifetime achievement award ceremony at the Spring Moving Image Awards in New York City in June of 2023, the same year their father shared their birthday tribute.
Michael received the award from legendary director Martin Scorsese, who also acknowledged his extraordinary abilities. Martin also praised Michael’s incredible efforts to raise awareness of Parkinson’s illness, which he was diagnosed with in 1991.
Because his wife, Helen Morris, was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Martin has a personal connection to Michael’s fight for Parkinson’s research. “If you look at Michael’s filmography, pay attention to the amount of work he’s done since his Parkinson’s diagnosis,” the filmmaker stated.
“Along the way, Michael not only started his foundation — which has raised so much money for research and raised just as much awareness — but also became a guiding light for so many others with Parkinson’s,” disclosed Martin, who continued his statement. That also applies to my wife Helen — and Michael, your help has been invaluable to both of us.”
In his fight against Parkinson’s, Michael has endured a lot and still faces challenges. He has always been open about his difficulties, as evidenced by his remarks at the April 2, 2024, Michael J. Fox Foundation “A Country Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s” Event.
“There have been numerous difficulties. These days, a lot of physical challenges have been distinct parts. Regarding his activities and the ways in which his illness has impacted them, Michael stated, “A lot of things have been a lot of effort [which] has been put into stuff.”
Despite the difficulties, Michael is fortunate to have his devoted family’s support and assistance, for which he will always be thankful. “And with the help of family, with the help of people that I work with, I’ve been able to meet those challenges and go beyond them and do new things,” he stated.
Michael mentioned Schuyler’s wedding, which had not yet taken place, as one of the things he was looking forward to in that same speech. “My daughter is also getting married, you know. “Life is good and good things are happening,” Michael said.
According to her LinkedIn page, Schuyler is more than just a recent bride—she is “a Harvard Ed.M. who is passionate about using storytelling for education and impact.” She has experience in the development and mental health of children.
Because of her background in curriculum design and production, Schuyler Fox also possesses a creative side. She is presently employed with FableVision as a producer.
