Michael J. Fox is paying tribute to wife Tracy Pollan!

The Back to the Future star, 63, penned a romantic message to his wife on Instagram to celebrate her 64th birthday on Saturday, June 22. 

“In every beautiful way, it’s beautiful Tracy’s beautiful day,” Fox lovingly captioned his post. “I love you and today will be magnificent. Always forever your Mike with so-much love. Happy birthday. It’s gonna be an epic day.❤️.”

The actor kicked off his post with a black and white snap of his wife, glammed up for the photo in a black tank top with her hair styled in light curls.

A second snap showed Pollan and Fox spending some time together outdoors as they sat side by side. They each had an arm around each other and wore dark sunglasses.

For the fifth year in a row, TIME Studios and ABC will present a "TIME100" primetime television special, and for the third year in a row, the television special will bring viewers inside the 18th-annual TIME100 Gala, airing Sunday, May 12

The couple, who initially met in 1985 while filming Family Ties, later tied the knot in 1988. They share son Sam Michael, 34, twin daughters Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances, 28, and 21-year-old daughter Esmé Annabelle.

Pollan has supported Fox through his many endeavors over the years, including when his film Still: A Michael J. Fox Story won the best documentary award at the National Board of Review Gala in January.

She also stepped out to support him at The Michael J. Fox Foundation's A Country Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's event in early April, alongside stars including Sheryl Crow, Little Big Town and Jason Isbell

When asked at the event about how he and Pollan keep their marriage strong, and if there were any rules that they follow, Fox told PEOPLE that they "make it up" as they go along.

"It's interesting, being married for 35 years," Fox shared.  "Yeah. I mean, the joke is you say I’ve been married 35 years, and it’s [been] the best 35 years of my life so think about that one for a second."

He added, "It's great having a partner and having someone that knows you in a [certain] way when everyone in the world thinks they know you. [Only] one person actually knows you."

Fox also praised his wife for her hard work keeping their family together during an event in March 2023, saying, "Tracy gives our family everything that we need. Any good in our family, anything good that we do, comes from her."
