From co-stars to lifelong partners: Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's relationship

Rita Wilson and Tom first met each other in the early 1980s. Their relationship truly took off when they were filming the comedy Volunteers in 1985, even though they had first met on the set of Hanks' sitcom Bosom Buddies.

Hanks and Wilson have been candid about the spark that sustains their relationship throughout the years. Regarding this wife, Hanks stated in a 2013 CNN interview:

"When I met Rita, I thought, ‘Oh, this is what it’s supposed to be like when you are married to somebody.’ It’s supposed to be this carefree and easy and, you know, oddly enough, weighty."

Their marriage has frequently served as a source of artistic inspiration for Wilson as well. She wrote the song "The Spark" in 2019 as a homage to their long bond. With a heartfelt Instagram message, she clarified:

"In any long-term relationship, if you're lucky, you started with a spark… Fires need to be tended to, stoked, added to, watched. As long as there is a spark you'll always have a fire. I love you, Tom."

Both of them are still living their lives at the age of 68. They attended the SNL 50: The Anniversary Special at 30 Rockefeller Center, but they also found time to spend time together in the outdoors and strengthen their relationship out of the spotlight.
