Ben and Emily Ford Reach Divorce Settlement

According to court documents obtained by several outlets, Ben Ford, son of the legendary Harrison Ford, has finalized a divorce settlement with his wife, Emily Ford. This marks the end of a marriage that began in 2009, and while it’s never easy to see a relationship come to an end, the couple seems to have handled it with a level of grace and mutual respect that’s truly commendable.

Emily filed for divorce in November 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split. Their date of separation was listed as February 1, 2022. During their time together, the couple welcomed a son, Waylon. At the time of their separation, Ben was 57, and Emily was 44. It’s clear that both parties are committed to moving forward with dignity and ensuring the well-being of their child remains a priority.

“Today, on our anniversary, I want to celebrate the evolution of our love,” Emily wrote. “We moved through the dissolution process carefully and without frivolity or malintent, tracking this choice to follow our north stars as something important.

She continued, “It’s a reminder that we always have a choice in every moment — we choose to love one another — and all that remains is the light of understanding and grace. I will always love, respect, and support you and our children on this journey of a million miles. Here’s to the next best chapter of our love.”

The Ford Family Legacy

Ben Ford was born in 1966 to Harrison Ford and his first wife, Mary Marquardt. Harrison, now 81, has had a storied life filled with love, family, and adventure. From his first marriage to Mary, Harrison also welcomed a son, Willard Ford. In his second marriage to Melissa Mathison, Harrison became the father of Malcolm and Georgia Ford. In 2010, Harrison married Calista Flockhart and adopted her son, Liam, cementing his role as a devoted father.

A close friend of Harrison’s once told Closer magazine, “Harrison never thought he’d become a late-in-life dad, but it’s been a tremendous blessing to him. He has been mindful to give Liam his full attention.” Harrison’s dedication to family is a testament to his character and values.
