Famed for his roles in Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Blade Runner, Harrison Ford is still very much in love with his 58-year-old wife, actress Calista Flockhart, and they’ve been together for 20 years now. The duo has been married since 2010 and they never let their 23-year age gap create an obstacle in their loving relationship. People might think that sustaining a marriage for that long must be tricky but Harrison Ford admitted that the secret to their successful happy marriage is just him nodding his head instead of talking and always finishing his chores.

According to PEOPLE, opening up in 2020 about his marriage to Flockhart and his hobbies when spending time on his Wyoming ranch, Ford said: "Well, if my chores are done and there's nothing more pressing and the weather's good, I'll go flying, I love to fly up there or walk in the woods, ride my road bike."

The couple first met at the Golden Globe Awards in 2002 and tied the knot in 2010 in New Mexico after being together for eight years. While Ford and his family are extremely private and prefer to keep their lives off-screen out of the media frenzy, according to Closer Weekly, we do know that Ford was married twice before getting hitched to Flockhart. He has four children from his previous marriages and also shares a son with Calista.

According to Page Six, Calista Flockhart adopted her son Liam in 2001, a year before she started dating Ford, and later the Raiders of the Lost Ark star formally adopted him as well. The trio was spotted enjoying a vacation in Croatia in 2021. "Harrison never thought he'd become a late-in-life dad, but it's been a tremendous blessing to him. He has been mindful to give Liam his full attention," a source told Closer Weekly in 2019.

The father and son bonded over some adventure sports a few years ago when Ford gave in to his Liam's campaigning and went skydiving along with him. "It was fun, it was great. I did like it. We're not talking to his mother about it," Harrison remarked during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The Air Force One star also has 3 sons, Ben, Willard, and Malcolm, and a daughter named Georgia from his previous two marriages. His oldest son Ben is a successful chef and is married with kids.

The 80-year-old Ford was last seen onscreen back in 2020 in a movie titled The Call of the Wild and to the delight of his loyal fans, he will be back to reprise his iconic role in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny which is scheduled to release on June 30, 2023.
