For 34 years, Tom Hanks and Rita have been in a committed relationship.
After meeting on the set of Bosom Buddies in 1981, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have been together for more than 30 years. They started dating during the filming of Volunteers, four years after their initial meeting. Following Hanks’ divorce from his first wife, the couple tied the knot in 1988.
He confessed: “The success of our relationship was a matter of timing, maturity, and our willingness to have an intimate connection. When I married Rita, I thought, ’This is going to require some change on my part.’ I won’t deny that providence was part of us finding each other, but our relationship isn’t magic — the way it’s shown in movies.”
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have a lovely family with two sons, Chester born in 1990, and Truman in 1995, who have pursued careers in entertainment.
The couple’s public appearances always reflect their happiness and contentment, despite their privacy preference. This demonstrates their strong bond and unwavering mutual support.
Rita said: “I’ll never forget, we were standing on the corner of 57th and 5th in New York, or 58th and 5th, he looked at me, and he said, ‘You know, I just want you to know, that you never have to change anything about who you are in order to be with me.’”

She recalled: “You never know how your spouse is going to react in a situation like this. I was so amazed, so blown away by the care my husband gave me.”
Amid hurtful body-shaming comments, Tom Hanks values his wife’s beauty deeply.
Rita Wilson’s weight has fluctuated due to using food as a coping mechanism during stressful times. Unfortunately, her weight gain resulted in negative comments and body shaming. “Tom looks in great shape, while Rita looks out of shape and flabby,” some people said about her body.
Despite acknowledging her body’s imperfections, Rita has opted to love herself and embarked on a journey to adopt a healthy lifestyle, demonstrating her profound understanding of mental and physical well-being.
