Meet Harrison Ford’s five kids and their moms
Parents
Harrison Ford isn’t just an award-winning actor but a five-time father.
The “Indiana Jones” star welcomed two children each with Mary Marquardt and Melissa Mathison between 1966 and 1990.
After marrying Calista Flockhart in 2010, Ford adopted her son, Liam.
In May 2023, the Oscar nominee admitted that he has not been the best parent to his brood as he has been “out of town” and “up [his] own ass” during his career.
“If I’d been less successful, I’d probably be a better parent,” he told Esquire at the time. “Certainly the more constant gardener is the better parent.”

Mary Marquardt
Ford met Marquardt while both of them were attending Ripon College in Wisconsin.
Four years after Ford’s 1960 graduation, he and the chef got married. They welcomed sons Benjamin and Willard in 1966 and 1969, respectively.
Ford’s career took off during their marriage, with Carrie Fisher alleging in her “Princess Diarist” memoir in 2016 that she had an affair with him while co-starring in “Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope” in 1977.
By 1979, Marquardt and Ford were divorced.
The licensed pilot broke his silence on the book in 2017, telling GQ that “it was strange for” him.
Ford noted that he had been “warned … to a degree” that the late actress, who died the previous year, was writing about him.
Benjamin Ford
Like his mother, Marquardt and Harrison’s eldest son, Benjamin, is a chef who owns the Ford’s Filling Station restaurant and wrote a “Taming the Feast” cookbook.
“There was freedom to explore in my family, and my parents had amazing friends: writers, musicians, all great conversationalists,” Benjamin told the Daily Mail in 2014. “To this day, I still try to surround myself with artists rather than just chefs.”
As for his personal life, the cook shares two sons, Ethan and Waylon, with wife Emily Ford.
Willard Ford
Willard is also a father of two, welcoming Eliel and Guiliana with his wife, whose name has not been made public.
He earned a degree in American Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Willard is an entrepreneur who has owned Ludwig Clothing Company, Strong Sports Gym and the Kim Sing Theater, all located in Los Angeles.
Melissa Mathison
Mathison was working as a production assistant on the “Apocalypse Now” set when she met Harrison in 1976.
The duo did not start dating until 1982, tying the knot the following year. They went on to welcome son Malcolm in 1987 and daughter Georgia in 1990 before separating in 2000.
Mathison, who finalized her divorce from Harrison in 2004, passed away in 2015 at age 65. She died from complications of neuroendocrine cancer.
Malcolm Ford
Although Malcolm “didn’t grow up with music in the house,” he is now a professional musician.
“My mom would have Wagner on sometimes, but I got into punk music first,” Malcolm recalled while speaking to Interview magazine in 2013. “My first cassette was Green Jellÿ. That was the band I was really into.”

Georgia Ford
Despite having roles in “American Milkshake” and “True Story,” not much is known about Harrison’s private daughter Georgia.
The actress was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child after suffering from seizures for years, with Harrison saying in 2016 that she was eventually “prescribed the right medication and therapy.”
He teared up over her health battle in a 2022 interview with NY Daily News, gushing about how much he admires her “perseverance” and “strength.”
Calista Flockhart
One year after Flockhart adopted her son, the “Ally McBeal” alum met Harrison at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards.
The “1923 star” proposed to Flockhart in 2009, wedding the Golden Globe winner in New Mexico in June of the following year.
Flockhart is an Emmy-nominated actress who has starred on “Brothers & Sisters,” “Supergirl” and more shows over the years.
Liam Flockhart
After Flockhart adopted Liam in 2001, she released a statement reading, “I have always wanted to adopt a child and I am overjoyed that I have been blessed with a beautiful and healthy son.”
She went on to call herself “completely enchanted and awestruck” by the little one.
While her and Harrison’s son is rarely seen publicly, the trio were photographed attending Liam’s Amherst College graduation in Massachusetts in May 2023.
