Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart Share Romantic Valentine's Day Tarmac Kiss in Los Angeles
Hollywood icons Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart displayed their enduring affection with a passionate kiss on a Los Angeles tarmac this Valentine's Day. The longtime couple, married for nearly 26 years, looked more in love than ever during the romantic public display.
A Valentine's Day Arrival Filled with Romance
On Saturday, February 14th, Ford, 83, and Flockhart, 61, touched down in Los Angeles and immediately shared a tender smooch that captured their deep connection. The pair wrapped their arms around each other, hugged warmly, and gazed into each other's eyes with evident devotion, creating a picture-perfect Valentine's moment.
Both stars were dressed casually for their arrival. Flockhart, the former Ally McBeal star, wore tan lounge pants paired with a dark gray sweater. Her sandy-toned bob haircut was parted on the side with a slightly tousled look, complemented by dark, round sunglasses. Ford opted for dark blue jeans and a lighter blue T-shirt, maintaining his signature rugged style.
Aviation Enthusiast Ford's Flying Background
The couple had flown in from Arizona, though it remains unclear whether Ford, a well-known aviation enthusiast, was piloting the aircraft on this occasion. Ford's passion for flying has been both celebrated and scrutinized throughout his career.
In 2020, the Federal Aviation Administration investigated Ford after he misheard an air traffic controller's advice while landing at Hawthorne, California. His publicist, Ina Treciokas, emphasized that "no one was injured and there was never any danger of a collision" during the incident.
Previous aviation incidents include:
- 2017: Ford underwent awareness training after flying over a commercial jet carrying 100 passengers before landing on a taxiway at Santa Ana's John Wayne Airport.
- 2015: He crashed onto a golf course following engine problems, with an eyewitness crediting him for "saving several lives" by avoiding suburban buildings just 20-30 yards away.
A Love Story Spanning Decades
Ford and Flockhart first met at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards and married in June 2010, making Flockhart Ford's third wife. They share son Liam Flockhart Ford, 25, whom Flockhart adopted in 2001 before their relationship began.
In a 2003 interview with Hello! magazine, Ford declared his love for Flockhart, stating: "Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love and I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life." He added, "I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn't surprised that I did," reflecting on finding love at age 60.
Flockhart has openly discussed their 22-year age difference, remarking that it "doesn't faze me" and sometimes she forgets about it entirely. She told the magazine: "It doesn't factor into our relationship at all. I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It's not handsome, it's more cute. He looks like a little boy."
The Valentine's Day tarmac kiss serves as a testament to their lasting bond, proving that romance can flourish through decades of marriage and life's adventures together.
