Harrison Ford shared the key to his 15-year marriage to Calista Flockhart. Speaking to E! News at the 2026 Actor Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, the Indiana Jones alum revealed the important rule he follows in their relationship.
“I don't tell my wife what to do," he said.

Ford was asked if Flockhart would appear on his Apple TV show, Shrinking: "That would be up to her," he shared.
At the Actor Awards, Ford was given the honorary Lifetime Achievement Award.
"Sometimes we make entertainment; sometimes we make art. Sometimes we're lucky to make 'em both at the same time, and if we're really fortunate, we also get to make a living doing it," he explained. "I'm indeed a lucky guy. Lucky to have found my people, lucky to have work that challenges me, lucky to still be doing it. And I don't take that for granted."

He went on to thank "extraordinary, beautiful wife" Flockhart and his family, "who have given me love and courage through all of it."
Ford and the Ally McBeal star began dating in 2002, tying the knot in 2010. The couple met at the 59th Golden Globes, when Ford caught Flockhart's attention after accidentally spilling wine on her dress mid-conversation. The comical moment apparently sealed the deal for Flockhart, and the two began dating from that point on.

"I'm in love. Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love, and I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life," Ford said in a 2003 interview, a year after meeting Flockhart. "I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn't surprised that I did."
Ford proposed to Flockhart on Valentine's Day in 2009 after seven years of dating, and the couple married the following year. After the wedding, Ford, who is a dad to four children from his two previous marriages, adopted Flockhart's son, Liam, making their blended family complete.
