There’s something undeniably charming about seeing Harrison Ford, Calista Flockhart, and their son Liam carrying their own luggage down the tarmac. Back in April, the trio boarded a flight to Auckland, New Zealand, en route to a serene hiking vacation in the remote Punga Cove. If you’ve ever wondered what adventure looks like, this is it. “Harrison’s passion for the great outdoors is something he’s instilled in Calista,” reveals a close friend. And it’s not just about the destination—it’s about the journey they take together.
A Marriage Built on Adventure and Love
At 76 years old, Harrison and his 54-year-old wife, Calista, are about to celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary in June. For them, marriage isn’t just a commitment; it’s the ultimate adventure. “Romantic love is one of the most thrilling and fulfilling kinds of love,” Harrison once said, proving that age is just a number when it comes to finding joy and connection. “There’s potential for romance at any stage of life,” he adds, and it’s clear from their relationship that he means every word.
Two Hearts, One Vision
When Harrison and Calista first crossed paths in 2002, it was clear they were kindred spirits. Despite a 22-year age gap, both had sacrificed their personal lives for success—Harrison in the world of film and Calista on the hit TV show Ally McBeal. But beneath the fame and fortune, they shared a yearning for something deeper, more meaningful. “They’re on the same wavelength,” explains a mutual friend. “They want to enjoy the perks of their success without feeling trapped by it.”

Harrison, who has four adult children from his previous marriages, found unexpected joy in fatherhood again with their adopted son Liam, now 18. “Harrison never imagined he’d become a dad later in life, but it’s been a gift he treasures deeply,” notes the friend. “He’s made it a priority to give Liam his full attention, creating a bond that’s truly special.”
A New Chapter Awaits
As Liam prepares to head off to college this fall, Harrison and Calista will have even more freedom to chase their dreams—literally. Harrison’s love for flying remains as strong as ever, despite a near-fatal accident in 2015. “It scared Calista,” admits a close pal, “but Harrison is a free spirit, and that’s what draws her to him.”
