Girlfriend / Spouse

Harrison Ford has dated –

  1. Eve Babitz – Harrison had a short and passionate affair with author Eve Babitz before making it big in Hollywood. He was already in a relationship with his first wife Mary Marquardt at that time.
  2. Mary Marquardt (1964-1979) – Ford started dating chef Mary Marquardt while studying at Ripon College. They got married in 1964 and Mary accompanied Harrison when he moved to Los Angeles to try his luck at acting. Mary gave birth to their first son, Benjamin in 1967 and their second son, Willard in 1969. However, by the mid of ’70s, their relationship had run into trouble and they decided to separate in 1977. Their divorce was finalized in 1979.
  3. Carrie Fisher (1976) – In her third memoir, actress Carrie Fisher revealed that she had a passionate three-month-long affair with her Star Wars co-star, Harrison Ford. The affair happened during the shooting of the movie in London and started when Ford offered to drive her home after movie director George Lucas’s birthday party. She was very serious about him and tried hard to make him fall in love with her. However, it never happened.
  4. Heidi Von Beltz (1978) – Ford had a very brief affair with the stuntwoman Heidi Von Beltz in 1978.
  5. Melissa Mathison (1983-2004) – Harrison met screenwriter Melissa Mathison in 1976 but started dating some years later. Ford walked the aisle for the second time in March 1983. Melissa gave birth to two children, a son Malcolm (b. 1987) and a daughter Georgia (b. 1990). Their marriage was considered as one of the most stable marriages in the industry. However, in October 2000, Ford moved out of their family apartment in Manhattan. Apparently, Melissa was tired of his bad-boy bachelor behavior. After briefly celebrating his newly single life with visits to strip clubs and partying with a bevy of beauties, he asked for one more chance from Melissa, which despite her generosity didn’t amount to much as they finalized the divorce in 2004.
  6. Minnie Driver (2001-2002) – Ford met actress and singer Minnie Driver at Timothy White’s art show at a Los Angeles gallery in November 2001 and started dating. They split in early 2002.
  7. Lara Flynn Boyle (2002) – Rumor
  8. Calista Flockhart (2002-Present) – After separating from Melissa, Harrison found love in actress Calista Flockhart. They first met at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2002. At the event, Calista intentionally spilled her drink on Ford so that she could get some more time with him. That move worked wonderfully for her as after dating for around 7 years, they got engaged in 2009 on Valentine’s Day eve. They got married in June 2010 at a lavish ceremony at New Mexico Governor’s mansion in Santa Fe and presided by Governor Bill Richardson and state supreme court Chief Justice Charles W. Daniels. In 2001, they adopted a son Liam Flockhart.
