Harrison Ford is not only a humanitarian at heart but also a devoted family man. The Hollywood A-lister has five children and is married to Calista Flockhart.
Harrison Ford is now married to Calista Flockhart, an actress best known for her role in the drama series “Ally McBeal” from 1997.
Harrison was enthused about his romance with Calista, who is 23 years his junior, in 2003. He addressed their age gap, saying that age does not matter in matters of the heart and that his passion for the TV celebrity did not surprise him.
“Romantic love is one of the most exciting and gratifying types of love, and I believe it is possible at any time of your life.” “I wasn’t expected to fall in love, and I wasn’t surprised that I did.”
Calista, 58, was born in November 1964, and Harrison, 80, in July 1942. The couple met at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards and hit it off right away. They started dating the same year and married eight years later, in 2010.
Harrison was married to his second wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, before meeting Calista. From 1983 through 2004, the couple was married and had two children, Georgia and Malcolm Ford.
Prior to his second marriage, the “Blade Runner” actor was married to chef Mary Marquardt. They married in 1964 but divorced in 1979. They have two kids, Ben and Williard Ford. Harrison is also the biological father of Calista’s adopted son, Liam Flockhart.
In January 2010, the father of five opened up about his first-time fatherhood experience, revealing that he became a father at a young age. He went on to say that he has come a long way as a father:
“My first child was born when I was 25 years old. It’s not a nice sight to see infants rearing babies. I’ve gotten a lot better at it.
Harrison revealed that his then-fiancee Calista and son Liam dictated his weekend plans. He would accompany them on hikes or motorcycle rides to do “anything they want.”
Liam, who is now a full-time college student, was adopted by the couple in 2001. In 2019, the couple was seen helping their kid with his dorm transfer at Amherst College in Hampshire County, Massachusetts.
The three-person family vacationed in Croatia in August 2021 and went sightseeing while there. During the trip, Liam was seen eating with his mother on a hotel balcony.
Ben, Harrison’s first kid, was born in September 1967 and has already created a name for himself. Ben Cohen is a well-known chef, cookbook author of “Taming the Feast,” and restaurant owner. He is the father of two sons, Waylon and Ethan, with his wife, Emily Ford.
I love this photo of both of us grilling it up. Metaphorically I think it speaks volumes. My dad or pops (newly adapted) He taught me resiliency as a young father and later helped give me the courage to pursue my dreams. Happy Father’s Day! pic.twitter.com/zxgRU91ubh

Williard, Harrison’s second child, was born in May 1969 and, like his brother, did not follow in his father’s footsteps. Williard is the proprietor of the Ludwig Clothing Company as well as the now-defunct Strong Sports Gym, which was forced to close due to the COVID-19 epidemic. He is also the father of two children, Eliel and Guiliana.
Harrison welcomed his third son, Malcolm, in October 1987, and, unlike his elder siblings, he followed in his father’s footsteps and became an actor. Malcolm had a cameo appearance in the 2004 film “Water to Wine.” He is also a member of The Dough Rollers, and he has co-produced two albums with his comrades.
Georgia, Harrison’s only daughter and fourth child, was born in June 1990. Although she is not as well known in Hollywood as her father, she has appeared in films such as 2003’s “American Milkshake.” Georgia has epilepsy, and her father has spoken highly of her.
“I respect many aspects of her.” I respect her skill as well as her strength. She is my heroine. I adore her. It may be distressing to have a loved one suffer from this condition.
Harrison is a grandfather as well as a father. His second eldest child, Williard, made him a grandfather after welcoming his first child, Eliel, in 1993, followed by his second child, Guiliana, in 1997.
His eldest son Ben blessed him with two grandchildren, Ethan, born in 2000, and Waylon, born in 2010. Harrison’s three other children have yet to have children of their own, making him a grandfather once again.
Ben tweeted a photo of himself and his boys enjoying a sports game in August 2021. The trio posed while beaming for the camera, with Waylon holding his two fingers up.
In June of that year, the father of two posted another photo of himself and his sons wearing golf shirts. Ben donned a white shirt with his youngest boy, while his oldest wore a brown one, as they all grinned for the camera.
Ethan is a collegiate baseball player from Greencastle-Antrim High School in Pennsylvania who was recruited by the Next College Student Athlete (NSCA). The youngster is a member of the Stars baseball team.
Meanwhile, his cousin Eliel is recognized for films such as Julien (2015), The Meyerowitz Stories (2017), and The French Dispatch (2020.
Harrison escorted his grandson Ethan to the Los Angeles Mission’s Christmas Eve service on December 24, 2012, where they fed homeless people. At the ceremony, the couple was seen smiling broadly while donning red aprons.
The identical photo was posted on the E! News website about celebrity grandparents in January 2014, and it showed the duo joyfully helping out throughout the holiday season.
At the Los Angeles Mission, the “Air Force One” star was also caught kissing his younger grandson Waylon on the cheek.
