“Happy anniversary to two completely wonderful individuals and a spectacular couple! You inspire! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹,” Linda Thompson gushed.

The power couple met in 1981 on the set of the sitcom Bosom Buddies. Hanks was first married to Samantha Lewes — who passed away in 2002 from cancer at 49 years old — from 1978 until 1987. Hanks and Lewes share a son, Colin, 47, and a daughter, Elizabeth, “E.A,” 42.

Hanks and Wilson linked up after starring in the 1985 comedy film Volunteers. They made their red carpet debut together in 1986 and officially tied the knot in 1988. The performers share two sons: Chester “Chet,” 34, and Truman, 29.

Since they wed, the duo have worked together on multiple hit movies, including the ’90s romance flick Sleepless in Seattle and, most recently, Wes Anderson’s 2023 film Asteroid City. They also produced the 2002 romantic comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding together.

In March 2019, Wilson appeared on Larry King Now and gave insight into her marriage to Hanks, explaining, “We laugh a lot, and I think we really love each other, and we communicate.”
