Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson celebrated 35 years of marriage yesterday!
Wilson, who met her husband nearly 40 years ago on the set of “Bosom Buddies”, acknowledged the anniversary with a sweet Instagram post.
Wilson and Hanks have two children together, Chester “Chet” and Truman Hanks. Hanks has another son, Colin, from a previous relationship.
Various celebrities rushed to congratulate the couple on their accomplishment, including Julianne Moore, Kate Capshaw, and Geena Davis. Linda Thompson wrote, “Happy 35th anniversary! Wowza!!! You are both inspirational… Separately but especially together… Two beautiful, dedicated, wonderful individuals! Happiness always and much love to you! 💜💜👏👏🎂🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹”
The couple recently obtained dual citizenship in Greece, as Wilson is part Greek. Hanks converted to become a Greek Orthodox during their marriage and the pair often vacation together in Greece.
“In real life, our connection is as concrete as me sitting here. We both know that no matter what, we’ll be with each other, and we’ll get through it. My wife has made me 100 percent man. I was only about 68 percent until I met my wife. That woman has loved me skinny, she’s loved me fat, she’s loved me bald, she’s loved me hairy. That woman, I know, loves me. I’m a lucky man.”
