Michael and Tracey met on the set of Family Ties in 1986 and tied the knot two years later in 1988.
The pair gave a rare joint interview in March 2023 Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie and spoke to People about what they think makes their marriage work.
"I think we really listen to each other, we are there for each other when we need each other," Tracy said. "And then we also give each other space when that's needed. Just feeling off of what's needed at the moment and trying to be there."

"Tracy gives our family everything that we need," Fox added. "Any good in our family, anything good that we do, comes from her."
The heartfelt documentary saw Michael recall how the moment he revealed to his young wife that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease – just two years into their marriage.
"I told Tracy the news," he said, adding: 'In sickness and in health' I remember her whispering."
"No one outside of my family knew."
The actor was just 29 years old when he was diagnosed with the neurological disorder and in 2000 the actor founded The Michael J Fox Foundation, dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease.
