Let's talk about love, shall we? Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford have become the ultimate power couple, redefining what it means to have a lasting and supportive relationship. For over a decade now, this duo has been showing the world how it's done. They’ve been married for more than 10 years, and every single moment with them feels like a masterclass in relationship goals. Whether they're on the red carpet or just enjoying a quiet evening at home, the love and respect they share are undeniable.
Harrison’s Support: The Cornerstone of Their Love Story
During a recent red carpet event for the Feud: Capote vs. The Swans premiere in New York City, Calista, who’s 59, opened up about her husband, Harrison, who is 81. Speaking to People, she shared how Harrison “supports” her “in so many ways.” Calista, who plays Lee Radziwill in the new season of the anthology series, emphasized that this support is a two-way street. "It’s a mutual thing," she said, highlighting the importance of both partners lifting each other up. It’s not just about one person carrying the weight; it’s about working together as a team.
What’s truly remarkable is how this mutual support has been on full display, not just in private moments but also in public settings. Just a week earlier, at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, Harrison made sure to give a heartfelt shoutout to his wife. Receiving the Career Achievement Award, Harrison took the stage with pride, knowing Calista was there in the audience cheering him on.

Harrison began his speech by expressing his excitement about the evolution of the entertainment industry.

"I’m very happy about that." But it was his next words that truly resonated. "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," he continued. And then came the moment everyone was waiting for — his tribute to Calista.

It was a touching acknowledgment of the backbone of their relationship.
He wrapped up his speech by extending his gratitude to the actors he’s worked with over the years. "I’m grateful to all the fine actors — I see many of them here tonight — that I’ve worked with and I’m deeply happy to have had the opportunities that I’ve had," he added. "I’m grateful. Thank you."

The Secret to Their Success: Trust, Loyalty, and Communication
According to a close friend of the couple, their marriage thrives because of trust, loyalty, respect, and openness. “He used to be very closed off, but she taught him the meaning of open communication,” the friend revealed in a 2022 interview with Closer. It’s clear that their relationship has grown and evolved over the years, with both partners learning from each other.
An insider also noted that while Calista and Harrison may have different personality traits — Calista being the organized, type-A personality, and Harrison being more laid-back — they complement each other beautifully. This balance is what makes their bond so strong. They’ve proven time and again that opposites can attract and create something truly magical.
