It’s no surprise that Harrison Ford has had numerous high-profile romances in Hollywood, including three marriages. Harrison has two children from his first two marriages, and when he married his third wife, Calista Flockhart, he became the father of her adopted son. Learn more about his relationships below!
Harrison and Mary Marquardt, born in 1945, married on June 18, 1964, after meeting at Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin. Mary graduated with a degree in culinary arts and worked in the food industry while Harrison was building his career in Hollywood. The couple welcomed their first son, Benjamin, on September 22, 1966. Their second child, Willard, was born on May 14, 1969. Benjamin followed in his mother’s footsteps and became a well-known chef and restaurateur in Los Angeles, while Willard owns the Strong Sports Gym boxing gym and his own fashion line, Ludwig Clothing Company. The couple eventually separated in 1979.
Decades later, the divorce attracted attention again after Harrison’s «Star Wars» co-star Carrie Fisher claimed they had an affair during the filming of the movie while he was still married to Mary. In her 2016 memoir «The Princess Diarist», - Carrie wrote about a three-month fling that, according to her, occurred when she was 19 and Harrison was 33. «I was so inexperienced, but I trusted him», - she said. In an interview with People magazine at the time, Carrie admitted, «It was so intense. During the week we were Han and Leia, and on the weekends we were Carrie and Harrison».
Harrison has openly discussed his struggles with balancing marriage and career in interviews. «Sometimes I think I was a better actor than I was a husband or father. I had to leave my family to make a living», - he said, according to The Guardian.
Despite the difficult moments in his marriage to Mary, Harrison’s ex-wife seems to hold no grudges against him, and they still share a strong bond. «Harrison was a true friend and a great love. He quietly supported me, asking nothing in return, during my darkest days», - she said in an interview, according to The Guardian.
Melissa Mathison was born on June 3, 1950, in Los Angeles and became well-known in Hollywood for her screenplays for «The Black Stallion» (1979) and «E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial» (1982), the latter of which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. As a friend of Francis Ford Coppola, Melissa often visited the set of «Apocalypse Now», - where she met Harrison, according to ABC. In 1983, the couple decided to formalize their relationship and got married. They welcomed their son Malcolm in 1987 and their daughter Georgia three years later. In 2000, they attempted a temporary separation, and in 2004, they officially filed for divorce, although reports indicated they remained on good terms. «The couple is very friendly, and everything is going very peacefully», - a representative for Harrison told ABC at the time. In 2015, Melissa passed away at the age of 65 after battling cancer.
Harrison has often mentioned that he uses his life as inspiration for his roles, and in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in February 2023, he referenced his ex-wives and daughter as part of what made his character in the series «Shrinking» relatable. «I have five children. This guy has a daughter he doesn’t see often and an ex-wife. He has family issues— which don’t match what I have. But there are things we’ve dealt with, so I found an emotional reality to draw from», - he said.
Although Harrison has made it clear that he doesn’t always face the same issues as his characters, he acknowledged that sometimes he struggles to balance work and family life in an interview with Esquire in May 2023. «If I were less successful, I would probably be a better parent», - he noted
