"We understand each other. And if you go through something like I am going through, just have someone that you are going to look at and know that they know [what you're dealing with]. She is my best friend and she is still sexy as hell as she is great."

Fox and Pollan share four children, Sam Fox, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler Fox, and Esme Fox. The proud dad has opened up about their family life, saying his beloved wife keeps the family going when it threatens to get too chaotic.
