WHO IS HARRISON FORD’S WIFE?

The first time Harrison Ford ran into Calista was at the 2002 Golden Globes, and they hit it off quickly. The actor had been 60 when he fell in love with Calista, and in 2009, he spoke about their first meeting.

He revealed that his biggest surprise was that he was still capable of having a long-term commitment with another person.

Their first date was in 2002, but it was also attended by James Marsden, who was there at Calista's behest. They had a nice dinner and returned to Ford's home to have drinks and listen to music until the actor signaled Marsden to make himself scarce.

The couple was completely taken with each other, and by 2009, they were engaged. Then, in 2010, they decided to spend the rest of their lives together and got married in New Mexico, where the talented actor had been filming “Cowboys and Aliens.”

The ceremony was held at the governor’s estate in Santa Fe and was performed by Governor Bill Richards and was officiated by New Mexico’s Chief Justice, Charles W. Daniels.

After the wedding, Harrison became stepfather to Calista’s son, whom she adopted at birth, while she became stepmom to the four kids he had from previous relationships. Their marriage is bravely standing the test of time, and the pair’s love is still blowing hot.
