Ford's Second Marriage to Melissa Mathison

Ford's second marriage was to screenwriter Melissa Mathison, which took place in March 1983. The couple had two children together, a son born in 1987 and a daughter born in 1990. Their relationship, however, faced challenges over the years, leading to their separation in 2000. The divorce was finalized in 2004, marking the end of their two-decade-long partnership. Mathison was known for her work in the film industry, particularly for writing the screenplay for the iconic film "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." Her contributions to cinema were significant, and she continued to work in the industry until her passing in 2015. Ford's personal life continued to evolve after his marriage to Mathison, as he began dating actress Calista Flockhart after they met at the Golden Globe Awards. Their relationship blossomed, leading to an engagement in 2009 and subsequent marriage.
