LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Michael J. Fox is keeping busy since leaving "Spin City." The former sitcom actor became the father of his fourth child Saturday (Nov. 3), when wife, and fellow actress, Tracy Pollen gave birth to baby daughter Esme Annabelle Fox shortly after noon in a New York hospital, according to media sources.

Esme joins sibling Sam (12) and twins Aquinnah and Schuyler (6). The couple, who
have been married since July 1988, met on the set of Fox’s first American series, "Family Ties." Pollan played Ellen on the show, the girlfriend to Fox’s Alex P. Keaton.

The children are likely helping to keep Fox busy. The actor left "Spin City" last year
to focus on educating people on Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disease. Fox first revealed he was diagnosed with the condition in 1998.

Last year, Fox opened the Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, and also signed a deal with Hyperion Press to author a book about his life with the disease. The biography, "Lucky Man," is due to appear in stories this April.

Is this true? Oh my god I'm so happy for them! And I was pretty sure that it was a girl! Good luck to this pretty family. Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan are the cutest couple of stars ever.

Yes, congrats, Mike! You're still the greatest!

Although, I don't understand why he and Tracey keep giving their kids dumb names (with the exception of Sam).

Yes It's true. I don't even knew how to pronounce it at first.

Thats so cool! But how do you pronnounce Esme????.... I think Schuyler is an awesome name.

I think you can pronounce it "ezmy".

Dumb names? Because they're orginal? Sheesh. They're beautiful names! Mike and Tracy can name their kids whatever they want to! They are THEIR kids.
