Harrison Ford’s Son Chef Ben Ford and His Wife Emily to Divorce After 14 Years of Marriage

The pair wed in 2009 and share two children

Chef Ben Ford and his wife Emily Ford are ending their marriage after 14 years together.

According to a court petition obtained by PEOPLE, Emily, 44, filed for divorce from the chef, 57, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Ben is one of actor Harrison Ford’s sons from his marriage to his first wife, illustrator Mary Marquardt.

Ben and Emily, who wed in 2009, have been separated since February 2022, per the documents.

They share two kids, Ethan, 23, and Waylon, 13. According to the documents, Emily is seeking joint custody of Waylon. Ethan is not mentioned in the docs because he is not a minor. Emily also requested that the court terminate the ability to award spousal support.

Emily shared a birthday tribute to Ben on September 22.

“Please help me wish Big Daddy a happy birthday! you shine both on and off the stage of life. here's to another year of love and success! we love you @chefbenford,” she captioned her Instagram post.

In September 2022, she posted about their anniversary and seemingly alluded to their decision to separate.

“Today, on our anniversary, i want to celebrate the evolution of our love. We moved through the dissolution process carefully and without frivolity or malintent, tracking this choice to follow our north stars as something important. This decision to follow our own paths was a strong and courageous choice and a source of mutual connection and strength,” she wrote.

She continued: “It’s a reminder that we always have a choice in every moment – we choose to love one another – and all that remains is the light of understanding and grace. I will always love, respect, and support you and our children on this journey of a million miles. Here's to the next best chapter of our love ❤️”

Ben also often shares family tributes to his social media, including those for Emily.

As they celebrated their son’s graduation and Mother’s Day on the same day in 2022, he posted a sweet message.

"Big day @dukeuniversity for mamas and graduates. Happy Mother’s Day! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate you @oliveyou928,” he captioned the post.

In 2021, Ben shared another tribute to his wife on Instagram — a photo of his two kids kissing her on the cheek.

“Memories matter. Momories matter most. Happy Mother’s Day @oliveyou928,” he wrote.

Ben went to culinary school in the '80s. He went on to open multiple restaurants, including Ford's Filling Station and Doorstep Market. In 2014, he published a cookbook, Taming the Feast.
