Calista Flockhart Appears Frail in Rare Solo Outing Amid Spotlight on Husband Harrison Ford
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Calista Flockhart, the longtime wife of Hollywood legend Harrison Ford, made a rare public appearance this week in Los Angeles, looking noticeably frail and low-key. The Ally McBeal star, 60, was spotted going makeup-free and wearing a trucker cap, dressed casually in a sweater and loose-fitting jeans that revealed her slender frame. At one point, she covered her face with a black mask, further shielding herself from public view.
Flockhart has been largely out of the public eye recently, with her last red carpet appearance alongside Ford dating back to October 2024. The couple’s rare joint outings remain a subject of interest, especially given their long and enduring relationship. In April, the actress was seen sharing a tender moment with Ford on a New York City subway, a candid glimpse into their private life.
The couple’s relationship dates back to the 2002 Golden Globes, where they first met. By the next year, they were living together, with Ford openly declaring his love for Flockhart. Despite a 22-year age gap, the pair have remained tight-knit for over two decades. Flockhart has often spoken affectionately of her husband, noting that the age difference “doesn’t factor into our relationship at all,” and once charmingly described Ford’s morning look as “not handsome, it’s more cute. He looks like a little boy.”
Ford, 82, recently received a lifetime achievement award at the Critics’ Choice Awards, where he thanked Flockhart from the stage, acknowledging her unwavering support. Flockhart described the moment as “emotional” and expressed pride in her husband’s “incredible” body of work.
While they have yet to appear onscreen together, Ford told Us Weekly earlier this year that he would “love to” collaborate with his wife in the future, though nothing suitable has yet come their way.
Fans can currently see Ford starring in the Apple TV+ comedy Shrinking, where he plays an older therapist grappling with Parkinson’s disease, alongside Jason Segel and Jessica Williams. Meanwhile, Flockhart made headlines last year for her acclaimed portrayal of Lee Radziwill, Jacqueline Kennedy’s younger sister, in Ryan Murphy’s Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans.
Though Flockhart’s recent public appearances have been rare and marked by a visibly delicate appearance, her enduring partnership with Harrison Ford remains a testament to their private bond, grounded in love and mutual respect over more than twenty years.
