According to People, a US-based media house, the relationship between the couple started on the sets of the sitcom Bosom Buddies in 1981. At that point, Tom was married to Samantha Lewes but later in 1986 Hanks and Rita made their relationship public followed by the divorce from his ex-wife in 1987.
Now the couple has been married for 35 years and shares two kids, Chester and Truman Hanks. Wilson is also a stepmom to Hanks' older kids, Colin, 45, and Elizabeth, 40. The actress also shared how she slowed down her work for her children and to support her husband's career.
She said, "I slowed down my work because I really wanted to be the mom that was there when they got home, drove the carpool and did all those things. Tom was also working a lot, so we would travel with him. If both of us were working and not home, my kids would have been affected. I wouldn't call slowing down my career a sacrifice, I would call it a choice." Tom Hanks, Wife Rita Wilson Test Positive for Coronavirus in Australia.
Speaking about the ritual question which people used to ask her, how it feels to be married to someone so popular, she had this to say. "Tom and I have always been supportive of each other and what we do. I remember doing press junkets back in the day, and interviewers would say to me, 'Gosh, it must be so difficult to be with someone so famous.' I would think, 'Why are they saying that?' Then I realised that the question was more about them and how they would feel in that situation than me" Rita concluded.
