Let’s talk about love in one of the busiest cities in the world! Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart were spotted sharing a tender moment on the New York City subway, proving that even the most famous couples can find romance in the most unexpected places. The couple, who rarely display public displays of affection (PDA), exchanged a sweet kiss while preparing to board separate trains. This heartwarming scene unfolded on the Upper West Side on Monday, March 31, and the New York Post shared the photos with the world on Wednesday, April 2.
Harrison and Calista’s Subway Love Story
The couple didn’t just stop at a simple kiss. At 82 years old, Harrison wasn’t shy about showing his love for his wife, placing a protective arm around Calista’s shoulder as they made their way to the subway station. Now, here’s the kicker—this wasn’t just a casual goodbye. The couple was heading in different directions. Calista, 60, was off to downtown Manhattan for her off-Broadway play, Curse of the Starving Class, while Harrison took a solo subway ride. But before they parted ways, Harrison, known for his rugged charm in films like Indiana Jones, couldn’t resist planting a smooch on his beloved wife’s lips right there on the subway platform.
A Rare Glimpse into Their Relationship
It’s not every day you catch Hollywood legends like Harrison Ford on the subway, let alone see them engaging in a public display of affection. According to reports from the New York Post, Harrison even admitted to a fellow passenger that he hadn’t taken the subway in years. But there he was, blending right in with the locals, dressed casually in a button-down shirt, dark blue jeans, and black boots. His iconic black-rimmed glasses and slightly disheveled white hair made him instantly recognizable, even if some fellow passengers were too busy scrolling on their phones to notice the movie star in their midst.

Calista’s Theater Commitment and Harrison’s Support
While Calista has been busy performing in Curse of the Starving Class at the Pershing Square Signature Center since February 25, Harrison has been flying solo in New York City. The play, a revival of Sam Shepard’s 1977 masterpiece, also stars Christian Slater and has been a hit with theatergoers. During this time, Harrison attended the SAG Awards on February 23 without Calista, where he was nominated for Outstanding Performance by Male Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in AppleTV+’s Shrinking. Although he didn’t win, his presence at the event alongside his Shrinking castmates was a testament to his dedication to the craft.
Reflecting on the show’s success, Harrison told People, “I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it turned out to be something very special for me.” He went on to express his gratitude for the fans who have shown such enthusiasm for the series. “They only want to say that they enjoy it. They don’t want anything. They don’t want a picture, they don’t want an autograph. They just wanna share their pleasure in what it is that we are doing,” he added. Clearly, Harrison’s love for his work extends beyond the screen and into the hearts of his audience.
A Love Story Beyond the Spotlight
Harrison and Calista’s love story began at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards, where they first met. Their relationship blossomed from there, and they eventually tied the knot in 2010. Harrison has been a devoted stepfather to Calista’s son Liam, whom she adopted in 2001. Harrison’s dedication to his family extends beyond his personal life and into his public appearances. At the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, where he received the Career Achievement Award, he took the opportunity to gush about his wife. “I’m here because of a combination of luck and the work of wonderful directors, writers, filmmakers. I feel enormously lucky. I’m happy for this honor and I appreciate it very much. I want to thank my lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, who supports me when I need a lot of support—and I need a lot of support,” he said, with Calista proudly watching from the audience.
