Michael, 65, took to his Instagram page with a collection of photos of his daughter over the years, from her childhood with her famous parents to running the New York City Marathon, to graduation day.
"Ezzie, you've been many people over the last quarter century…all of them fabulous! Happy birthday, I love you so much!" he gushed in his caption.
Tracy, 66, shared a few more recent snaps of her daughter, sporting her dad's brunette locks and a mix of her parents' facial features. "Happy birthday to my heart and soul! @esmeannabelle I could not love you more!"
While the Fox children, son Sam and daughters Aquinnah, Schuyler and Esmé, lead private lives compared to their parents, the youngest is a journalist, specifically a travel writer based in Barcelona.
Michael and Tracy's love story and Parkinson's
Michael met Tracy when she was cast as his girlfriend Ellen in Family Ties. The pair started dating off-camera as well and tied the knot in 1988 in Arlington, Vermont.

He struggled with a period of depression and alcoholism due to the diagnosis, before going public with his condition in 1998. He set up the Michael J. Fox Foundation with Tracy in 2000.
The Fox family is incredibly close knit, especially showing up to support Michael during his battle with Parkinson's. Nowhere is it on display as much as the annual A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's Gala, where the family-of-six proudly show up to raise funds and awareness for the degenerative condition.

"They're so supportive and so great," the Back to the Future star told People of his family's involvement in 2025. "All these people are friends of mine, family, and it's really great to see them, and I walk on the red carpet surprised to see them, and I think, 'Well, why should I be surprised?' They've always been there for me, and they continue to be for me, year after year."
Tracy told the publication how "incredibly supportive" Sam, Aquinnah, Schuyler and Esmé have been over the years. "Michael is so optimistic, which is wonderful and really helps him, but it's really important to also understand that this is a huge challenge."
