Harrison Ford was married twice before he met and fell in love at 67 with his third wife, actress Calista Flockhart.

Harrison Ford fell in love at 67 with a much younger woman after two failed marriages, and he even adopted her son. The actor felt like a little boy again and gushed over his wife, with whom he lives a quiet life on a farm where they enjoyed spending time in the woods.

Harrison Ford was married twice before he met and fell in love at age 67 with his third wife, actress Calista Flockhart. In 1964, the actor tied the knot with his first wife, Mary Marquardt.

Harrison began working as a carpenter to support their two sons because he wasn’t a famous actor. In 1977, he was featured in “Star Wars” and found fame, but his marriage wasn’t equipped to handle the Hollywood lifestyle.

Carrie Fisher, his “Star Wars” co-star, confessed years later that they had an “intense” illegal substance-fueled affair while he was married. Long after his marriage to Marquardt ended in 1979, Harrison went into union with Melissa Mathison in 1983.However, before tying the knot, the duo failed to sign a prenuptial agreement. The “E.T.” screenwriter and the actor welcomed a son and a daughter, but their relationship was also not meant to last.

The “Raiders of the Lost Ark” star paid a whopping $85 million when he and his second wife divorced in 2004. Their separation was described as amicable, but it was rumored that Harrison had been adulterous.

In 2003, Harrison, then 60, who was usually reserved about his personal life, admitted, “I’m in love” when speaking about his relationship with Calista, then 38. He said romantic love was one of the most fulfilling and exciting kinds of love, adding:

“I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life.”

The star revealed he wasn’t surprised that he could fall in love and did. At the time, the “Ally McBeal” actress and Harrison had been dating since January 2002 when they met at the Golden Globe Awards.

However, until that interview, the actor had been reluctant to open up about his relationship with Calista. The “Indiana Jones” star was so serious about the actress that he proposed on Valentine’s Day in 2009!

Harrison’s proposal to make Calista his third wife happened while they were on vacation. The couple didn’t waste much time before making their relationship official and married in Santa Fe, Mexico, in June 2010.

Before the actress began dating Harrison, she’d become a single parent by adopting her son, Liam, in 2001. However, after marrying the actor, he formally adopted Calista’s son, adding him to his other four children from his previous marriages.

In 2008, the star, then 65, confessed that being a father again to a young child “made me just a bit less self-centered.” He revealed how Calista had brought a child back into his home.

At the time, Harrison shared how his youngest child was 17, other than Liam. He reveled in having the “wonderful opportunity” to be a part of a child’s upbringing, which he described as “always an endless springtime.”

The star gushed about seeing how the growing, blossoming, and nurturing were paying off. The People magazine’s 1998 Sexiest Man, Alive’s other two older sons with Marquard were Benjamin, then 40, and Willard, 39.

With Mathison, Harrison had a son Malcolm, then 21, and a daughter Georgia, then 17. When speaking about the sort of mother Calista was, the actor said she was the best in the world!

He explained that she was a mother by choice and took on a great responsibility when she adopted her son as a single parent. The actor noted how his wife had devoted herself to Liam and was doing a fantastic job raising him.

Harrison shared how he was pleased to be helping with the job of parenthood. However, he noted that he was “naturally” different with Liam compared to his other children because now he was a little more mature.

Calista and her husband were completely in love, and this time around, the marriage might not end in divorce. The couple was so in tune that they had activities they did together, and the actress once had the role of caretaker for Harrison.

Finding True Love and Companionship at 67
When Harrison met Calista in 2002, he wasn’t looking for love. The former explained that there were times when he felt lonely, but he didn’t want to live his life mitigating “against loneliness.”

The actress, who had allegedly dated many celebrities in her past, including comedian Garry Shandling and actor Ben Stiller, had never had an interest in Harrison before. She once confessed:

“I remember loving him in ‘Mosquito Coast,’ but I didn’t really think about him.”

On the other hand, Harrison also seemingly didn’t have sights on the actress but recalled watching “Ally McBeal” once in a while before meeting Calista. However, now that they were together, she wasn’t allowing him to watch the comedy series because she didn’t like seeing herself.

In 2003, the couple opened up about the age gap between them. The actress admitted that it didn’t “faze” her, and she sometimes would forget that Harrison was 22 years older than her!

Calista said the age difference didn’t factor into their relationship in any way. Instead, the star liked how the actor looked first thing in the morning; she said he wasn’t handsome but more cute and looked like a “little boy.”

There were also conflicting stories about how the couple met. Some reports claimed that the actress threw a drink over Harrison, but he explained that she didn’t intentionally spill her glass of wine on him.

She said they conversed for around 20 minutes before the wine spilled, and Harrison was the one who did the spilling! In 2015, the couple discussed the mutual activity that they enjoyed together.

Years before, in 2003, Harrison had shared with the public that Calista loved flying. He said it thrilled him because it was important to him, as it was more fun when done with someone who enjoyed it.

The actor shared how the actress liked the process, what she saw from the air, and seeing him happy. He speculated that she enjoyed it most because she loved seeing him do something he loved.

Calista revealed that she had complete confidence in his piloting abilities. She confessed to having been a bit nervous about flying, but surprisingly, when she went to Santa Barbara with her husband for the first time, she didn’t feel any nervousness; instead, the star loved it!

The actress believed she loved the sport because she trusted her husband, and she revealed they would take Liam flying all the time, and he loved it too! Besides flying, Calista and Harrison tried to be a giving family.

On November 21, 2007, the couple and their son, then 6 1/2, went together to assist in feeding the homeless in Los Angeles. The couple was photographed wearing Los Angeles Mission aprons as they dished up food.

The actors even wore gloves as they taught Liam about the blessing of giving back to the less fortunate. Then in 2015, tragedy struck the family when, at age 72, Calista’s husband was involved in a plane crash and suffered a nasty laceration on his face.

The actor had to be rushed to a local hospital where his wife, then 50, son Benjamin, and daughter Georgia rushed to be by his side. The actress stayed with her husband at the E.R. section of the hospital until late at night after his vintage plane crashed.

The following day, a Friday, she was photographed driving away from the hospital. Calista allegedly looked tired and was seen holding a tissue, but later that day, she returned to the hospital to be by his bedside.

Sources said the actress “looked concerned” when she arrived shortly after her husband. The following morning she allegedly drove Liam to school before returning to the hospital and remaining there to take care of Harrison.

An insider described the couple and their family as normal, “super loving,” and down to Earth. The couple, who waited for over eight years before getting married, whose shared love for flying was mentioned by the source, before adding this about Harrison’s hospital stay:

“This whole thing must be terrifying.”

Ultimately, Harrison recovered from his injuries and returned to his family. The actor, his wife, and his adopted son now live on a ranch where they keep busy with various activities.

Calista and Harrison’s Quiet Life on a Farm
In August 2022, it was reported that Harrison and his family live on a Jackson Hole, Wyoming ranch. “The Fugitive” star’s home boasted 800 acres of land and was located along Snake Rover.

It was revealed that year that Harrison said he had lived there for 35 years. He even confessed that when he was in Wyoming, he had the leisure of just walking out of the door and continuing.

The farm was described as a “personal sanctuary” for the actor, his wife, and Liam. In 2020, it was revealed that Harrison split his time between his Wyoming ranch and Los Angeles home, which he shared with the “Brothers & Sisters” actress.

Besides living quietly on their properties, Calista’s husband kept busy with his career. That year he was back on the big screen starring in “The Call of the Wild,” an adaptation of the classic Jack London novel.

According to reports, the actor also used to own a home in Brentwood, California, but in 2012 he put it up for sale for $8,295,000. The property had been his home for almost 30 years when he sold it.

Harrison bought the Gerard Colcord-designed country Colonial home in June 1983 for a mere $1 million. The house was initially built in 1951, and its 7,164-square-foot space boasts four bedrooms, an additional poolside, a one-bedroom guesthouse, and two separate guest/staff suites.

He put it on the market after buying another mansion with his wife in Brentwood that cost $12.65 million. The property was described as their longtime primary residence in Los Angeles.

When on the ranch, Harrison spent his days balancing his time between doing a little work and a little play. He once revealed that when his chores were done, and there was nothing more pressing waiting for him, he liked flying when the weather was good.

The “Blade Runner” star admitted that he loved flying in Wyoming. However, sometimes he opted to walk in the woods, do some work, and ride his road or mountain bikes.

Calista’s husband also shared that he had chores given to him by his wife, and he was always working on fixing something on the property. He did the home maintenance, worked in his woodshop, or discussed putting in a new roof with some people.

When the “Air Force One” actor wasn’t doing all those things, he enjoyed spending quality time with his wife while raising Liam. In 2010, the star opened up a little about what he did with his adopted son.

Harrison [Ford] shared some things he’d learned over the years to help make his marriage last.
He revealed that he did whatever his wife and son wanted to do on weekends. Sometimes on Sunday mornings, they went hiking, or motorcycle riding, or he and Liam would make a birdhouse, which took him three days!

Speaking about his son, Calista’s husband said having a then nine-year-old child was something he hadn’t expected. The star grinned when he shared that it was also a joyful experience.

He recalled Liam was around six or eight months old when he met him and his mother; they’ve been together since! In 2020, the couple celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary.

Harrison shared some things he’d learned over the years to help make his marriage last. The “Supergirl” actress’ husband joked that it was best not to talk and nod your head.

He also hilariously admitted that he had no idea where his dry humor came from. The actor said he’d never thought about his humorous side and noted, “I see funny, I think.”

I Kicked My In-Laws Out of My Daughter’s First Birthday Party After They Crossed the Line

I thought my daughter’s first birthday party would be filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Instead, I ended up kicking my in-laws out after they did something unexpected.

You’d think a child’s birthday would bring out the best in everyone, right? Nope. That wasn’t true for my in-laws, James and Diane.

It’s been a year since I became a mom, and while parenting has its challenges, dealing with my husband’s family sometimes feels like the hardest part.

Let me explain everything from the beginning.

Becoming a mother was the most transformative experience of my life.

A year ago, I welcomed my daughter, Lily, into the world, and she instantly became my whole universe. I still couldn’t believe how quickly time had flown. One moment, I was cradling a newborn, and now here I was, planning her first birthday party.

Honestly, it wasn’t as easy as it sounds. I’d like to thank Mark, my husband, for being there for me through it all.

Whether it was midnight feedings or soothing Lily when she was teething, he was always by my side.

“Can you believe she’s already a year old?” I said one evening while we sat on the couch, going through old photos.

“Time flies, doesn’t it?” Mark replied, smiling as he looked at a picture of Lily in her hospital blanket. “So, what’s the plan for the big day?”

“I was thinking of hosting it at home,” I said. “I want it to be intimate. Umm, just close friends and family. It feels more special that way, don’t you think?”

“I love that idea,” he smiled. “Our house, our rules. Let’s make it memorable for Lily.”

With his support, I got to work.

For weeks, I planned every detail. I wanted it to be a day where everyone felt at home, which was why I also included a note on the invites asking guests to leave their shoes outside.

To make things easier, I even bought brand-new spa slippers in various sizes for anyone who didn’t want to walk around barefoot.

Most of our friends and family were excited about the party. Everyone, that is, except James and Diane, my in-laws.

The conversation I had with them when I called to invite them still played in my mind.

“A party at home?” James said, his tone dripping with disapproval. “For Lily’s first birthday? Don’t you think something bigger would’ve been more appropriate? Like a restaurant or a park? It’s a milestone, after all.”

“I get that, James,” I replied. “But we wanted to keep it small, with just close family and friends. It feels more personal this way.”

“It just seems… underwhelming,” Diane added, clearly unimpressed.

“Well, we’re excited about it,” I said. “And I hope you can make it.”

“We’ll see,” James replied before abruptly ending the call.

It wasn’t the first time they’d been critical. Over the years, I’d come to expect it.

They were the kind of people who found flaws in everything, and hosting a party at home was apparently no exception.

Still, I tried to stay optimistic. I hoped they’d set their opinions aside and just enjoy the day with us.

Little did I know their visit would leave me with no choice but to take a stand.

I woke up at dawn on the morning of Lily’s birthday and started preparing everything. Mark and I were all set to put up pink and gold balloons and a “Happy Birthday” banner that we’d picked up from the store.

I’d also ordered a custom-made three-tiered cake with sugar flowers and a little crown on top. Everything was perfect.

Mark and I had just finished setting up when the doorbell rang. The first guests had arrived, and soon, the house was filled with chatter, laughter, and the happy squeals of toddlers running around.

Lily, dressed in her tiny pink party dress, was beaming as she crawled from one guest to another, soaking up the attention.

Then, just as I was starting my toast to Lily, the front door opened with a bang. It was James and Diane.

And they were an hour late.

“Oh, don’t mind us,” Diane announced loudly, waving as all eyes turned to them. “We’re late because I had to get my hair done. I thought at least one woman should look decent at this party.”

Mark and I exchanged a look, but I plastered on a smile and continued my toast, trying to ignore the interruption.

As soon as I finished, Diane called out, “Well, I hope the cake tastes better than it looks.”

What the heck? I thought. How dare she?

Then I told myself it wasn’t worth ruining the day over a comment. I just ignored her comment, unaware that this was the point where things would start to go downhill.

First, Diane handed me a gift bag. Inside were secondhand baby clothes that looked like they’d been picked up at a yard sale. They were visibly dirty, the tags were gone, and they had a faint mildew smell.

“Babies don’t care what they wear,” Diane said with a smile. “No need to waste money on fancy stuff.”

Unbelievable, I thought. But I managed to stammer out a “Thank you.”

I told myself maybe they were struggling financially. Maybe they didn’t have enough money to buy new clothes.

But then came the moment that pushed me over the edge.

As I mingled with the guests, I noticed muddy footprints trailing across my tile floor. I turned to see James and Diane, still wearing dirty shoes, stomping through the living room.

My heart sank as I saw the mess they’d made on the rugs where Lily had been crawling just minutes earlier.

Taking a deep breath, I approached Diane.

“Hi, Diane. Could I ask you to take off your shoes or put on the slippers? We’ve been asking everyone to do it to keep the floors clean for the kids.”

Diane barely glanced at me. “Oh, please. Our shoes are clean. And anyway, that’s an Asian thing, isn’t it? White people don’t do that.”

“Actually, it’s just a house rule for us,” I said, trying to stay calm. “My daughter crawls on these floors, and I’d like to keep them clean.”

James, who’d been eavesdropping, chuckled. “That dirt is from your own front yard! Maybe you should clean the porch better if you don’t want dirt inside.”

My patience was wearing thin, but I took another deep breath and tried again, this time addressing them both.

“Look, I’m not asking for much. It’s a simple request to take off your shoes or wear the slippers I’ve provided. Everyone else has done it without issue. Why can’t you?”

Diane rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. “Because it’s ridiculous, that’s why. It’s just dirt! You’re acting like it’s the end of the world. Honestly, Anna, you’re ruining the party with all your nitpicking.”

That’s when Mark stepped in. He knew his parents were being unreasonable again.

“Dad, Diane, we’re asking this out of respect for our home,” he explained. “It’s not just about dirt. It’s about setting an example for Lily. If everyone else can follow the rules, so can you.”

James smirked, leaning back as if he owned the place. “This is why people say you two are impossible. Especially your wife, Mark. Always making a fuss over nothing.”

That was the breaking point. The hurt and anger I’d been holding back finally spilled over.

“If respecting our home and my daughter’s birthday makes me impossible, so be it!” I yelled. “But I won’t stand here and let you ruin this day for her or for us. If you can’t follow a simple rule, you’re not welcome here.”

Diane looked at me with wide eyes. “So, you’re kicking us out? Over shoes?”

“Yes,” I said firmly. “This is our home, and these are our rules. If you can’t respect them, you need to leave.”

They sputtered protests, but I wasn’t backing down. I walked to the front door, opened it, and gestured for them to leave. “Out. Now.”

For a moment, they stood frozen, shocked that I’d actually stood my ground. Then Diane grabbed her purse with an indignant huff.

“This is ridiculous. Mark,” she said. “I hope you realize what kind of wife you’ve married.”

Mark, to his credit, didn’t flinch. “I do, and I couldn’t be prouder of her. Please go.”

With one last glare, they stormed out, slamming the door behind them. Everyone was quiet for a moment as they thought of what to say. Then, Mark stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me.

“You did the right thing,” he whispered.

The party continued, and without James and Diane’s toxic presence, the atmosphere became lighter and more joyful.

But wait… This isn’t where the story ends.

The next day, James called Mark, furious about being “humiliated” in front of everyone. But Mark stood his ground and calmly explained why we’d asked them to leave.

When James realized he wouldn’t get an apology, he hung up in anger.

A week later, karma came knocking.

A mutual friend informed me that Diane had posted on social media about her salon trip and the party, only to have people drag her for wearing muddy shoes into a house with kids. She’d even earned the nickname “Dirty Diane.”

I couldn’t stop laughing after learning that. Dirty Diane? Haha! That’s something Diane will never forget!
