He was one of the most eligible bachelors of Hollywood while dating her and there was a 22-year-old age gap between the two of them. Yet, sparks flew the moment they set their eyes on each other and the rest is history. Harrison Ford and his wife, Calista Flockhart’s love has grown from strength to strength over the years.
It has been a fairy tale love story. Ford was a twice-married man before he tied the knot with Lockart. He shares two sons with his first wife, Mary Marquardt and divorced after 15 years of being married to her in 1979.
The Hollywood hunk married Melissa Mathison next in 1983, who happens to be a screenwriter. They have a daughter and a son together. However, even this marriage did not last and they parted ways in 2000 after 17 years of marriage.
Meanwhile, even Flockhart, reportedly, dated several men before she fell in love with Ford. She was in a relationship with David E. Kelly for two years. Reports have it that she also dated Sam Mendes, a director.
The actress was also, allegedly, involved with Robert Downey Jr. in 2000 (via Entertainment Tonight). While none of these relationships last for very long, she would soon come across the dream man of her life.
The Fugitive actor and Ally McBeal actress met each other for the first time at the Golden Globes Awards of 2002. Speculations were rife that the actress purposely dropped wine on Ford so that they could come face to face once again.
However, the couple denied these rumors forcefully while speaking to the Hello! Magazine. Harrison Ford categorically said his wife did not do such a thing and his wife echoed the same sentiment.
Soon, Ford invited his future wife out for dinner but Calista Flockhart was initially skeptical about attending it. She did not go alone but took her then co-star James Marsden with her. It turned out to be not as scary as she had apprehended as there were other invitees present for dinner.
Although there is an age difference of 22 years between the two, it is immaterial for the actress. There are times when she even forgets that there is such a huge age gap between them.
Calista Lockart even revealed how much she adores her husband early in the morning when he gets up. She finds him cute rather than handsome after he gets up.
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart dated for several years and even started living together. The duo finally exchanged their vows in 2009, Gossip Cop reports.
