Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford first met on the set ofStar Warsin the mid-1970s and had an instant connection. Their on-screen chemistry as Han Solo and Princess Leia was a treat for the viewers. They were both ambitious actors working on a game-changing franchise that would redefine Hollywood.
Fisher was only 19 at the time and Ford was 33, and their affair remained a secret for a long time. But one statement suggests that the former possibly felt some guilt, particularly concerning Ford’s wife at the time.
Carrie Fisher hints at feeling guilty for Harrison Ford’s wife
In her memoir,The Princess Diarist,Carrie Fisherputs forth a raw and honest account of their affair.“It wasn’t just my secret to keep,”her words suggest that Fisher was aware of how her relationship could affect Harrison Ford’s then-wife, Mary Marquardt (viaThe Guardian).
Despite Fisher being so open about the subject, it seems she has an underlying sense of regret. When the actress was asked if she was held back from revealing the affair out of respect for Ford’s second wife, Melissa Mathison, Fisher said,“No, not at all. Melissa always felt it was not that big of a deal. But then she wasn’t the wife.”

It is the direct statement, about Mathison not being the wife at the time of their entanglement that draws attention to how Fisher was aware of the affair’s impact on Marquardt. While Ford’s second wife saw the situation in a more casual way, his first one probably experienced a different kind of emotional turmoil.
Complicated feelings about affair with Harrison Ford
Carrie Fisher chose to wait decades before discussing the affair, which also suggests that she was sensitive toward the feelings of those who were involuntarily involved in the situation. Now that time has passed, Fisher feels like keeping this aspect of life solely to herself wasn’t a burden that she needed to carry anymore.

Beyond reflections of how her relationship withHarrison Fordmight have impacted others, the actress also shared her complicated feelings. As per her account,she was deeply infatuated with the Han Solo actor but was aware that he did not feel the same level of intensity.
She was quite vulnerable throughout the affair and was surprised to know that Ford fancied her too. At a very young age, she was dealing with insecurities, mental health struggles, and the challenges of being in the spotlight. But despite all these confusing feelings, Fisher has only expressed gratitude about the relationship.
