Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart may be Hollywood’s beloved couple, but they proved that affection can be just as sweet in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. On a recent Monday, the pair shared a rare moment of intimacy on a busy New York City subway platform, undeterred by the crowds around them. As commuters rushed by, Ford and Flockhart shared a brief kiss before heading in opposite directions to begin their day.
At 82, Ford, who is best known for iconic roles in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, caught the downtown 1 train, getting off at 59th Street. Flockhart, 60, made her way onto the downtown express 2 train, heading to her off-Broadway performance in Curse of the Starving Class. Despite their status as high-profile stars, the couple embraced the simple joys of life, navigating the subway just like any other New Yorkers.
Once on the train, Ford was seen chatting with another passenger, likely reflecting on his journey back to the subway after years of being away. It was his first time in the public eye since withdrawing from presenting at the previous month’s Oscars due to a shingles diagnosis. Ford had last appeared publicly at the 2025 SAG Awards, where he confirmed to People that Flockhart was unable to attend due to her theater commitments.
For this outing, Ford kept things casual, wearing a button-down shirt, blue jeans, and black boots, accessorized with black-framed glasses and a watch. Flockhart, too, embraced a laid-back style, sporting a dark blue puffer jacket, grey sweater, loose jeans, and a baseball cap—seemingly blending in with the everyday commuters around them.
The couple, who met at the 59th Golden Globe Awards in 2002, tied the knot in 2010 at the Governor’s Mansion in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Shortly after their marriage, Ford adopted Flockhart’s son, Liam. He is also a father to sons Ben, 56, and Willard, 55, from his first marriage to Mary Marquardt, and to son Malcolm, 36, and daughter Georgia, 31, with his second wife, Melissa Mathison.
Though the couple enjoys a relatively low-key lifestyle compared to their celebrity status, this sweet subway moment serves as a reminder that even the busiest of stars find time for affection amidst their hectic lives.
