Michael J Fox shares rare photos of daughter Esme for her 25th birthday

The sweetest snap included in Fox's birthday tribute was one from Esme's childhood. In the picture, she seems to be posing for the camera while cuddled between her famous parents, wearing a white and pink sweatshirt. The 65-year-old actor is seen lovingly looking towards his baby daughter in the photo while his actress wife looks into the lens.

Michael J. Fox's special post included a snap of Esme wearing a party cap and a bright orange robe. She was also seen holding a drink in the picture. The proud father also showered his love on his daughter in the caption, writing, "Ezzie, you’ve been many people over the last quarter century…all of them fabulous! Happy birthday, I love you so much!"

Michael J. Fox's birthday post for Esme also showed a moment from the 2025 New York City Marathon, in which his daughter participated. Esme reportedly ran on the eve of her 24th birthday for her father’s foundation for Parkinson's Research. At the time, she said, "MJFF has been a major cornerstone of my life since I was born. To fulfill one of my personal goals while supporting my dad was an experience I’ll never forget."

One photo shared by Michael J. Fox showed Esme in her graduation cap and robe. In 2025, she graduated from Duke University with a degree in Global Cultural Studies and Literature. The young woman reportedly began her career as an intern at the Tampa Bay Times. She eventually started working at NBC News in May 2026.

Another aesthetic photo shared by Michael J. Fox showed Esme smiling at the camera. She looked simple yet beautiful in a dark top with printed white designs. The 25-year-old, who is a TODAY Show Plaza Production Assistant, is the youngest sibling of Fox and Pollan's other three children, Sam and twin girls Aquinnah and Schuyler.
