There’s not a single way we admire one of Hollywood’s favorite couples, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. The actor-producer duo is in married life for 30 years, and in that time, they’ve become one of the most endearing, buddying couples in Tinsel Town. Their love for each other has been ever so captivating.

Today, we will shift the spotlight from Tom Hanks and will narrate more through the love of his life, Rita Wilson. On the course, we will take you through all; from how and where she bewitched Hanks to when did they exactly decided to become one? Additionally, we will also be a bit materialistic daring to do the math for Hanks’ Mistress net worth along with some extravaganzas showing how lavish Wilson gets to be being a star’s wife.

How is the Married Life of Rita Wilson with Husband Tom Hanks?

Such was the aura of Rita Wilson which left Tom Hanks jaw droopingly attracted towards her when both were working on the 1985 film Volunteers. As her hubby told GQ,

Rita and I just looked at each other and — ka-boing — that was that. I asked Rita if it was the real thing for her, and it just couldn’t be denied.

Fun Fact: It was actually in 1981 where Wilson had first met Hanks on the set of TV comedy Bosom Buddies (1980-1982).

Seven years later, Wilson and Hanks looked over the moon with happiness during their wedding in 1988. Thirty years later, the husband reflected on his marriage to Wilson for People magazine, saying,

They say it must be hard work. No, it’s not. Every now and again, you know, you gotta get over some stuff, but life is one damn thing after another and it’s actually more pleasant to be able to go home with someone you like to spend time with in order to get with it. 

Wilson was right by her husband’s side when Hanks received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in June 1992.
However, back in 2016, when the couple was just about to celebrate their 29th anniversary, National Enquirer blatantly made a false accusation of Wilson and Hanks’ Marriage.

As expected, the couple frivolously yet strongly denied saying,

In the past, we laughed off their cover stories of our soon-to-be acrimonious divorce because those stories were so far from true, they were laughable. But our marriage is the foundation of our family, is sacred to us, and we couldn’t allow such nonsense as we are about to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary next April,” the couple said. “For Star and National Enquirer to profit by dishonoring what is so precious to us with such falsehoods were, we decided, lies we would not put up with any longer.

She was also watching her husband with eyes full of tears more than anyone else when Hanks won big (An Academy for Best Actor) in 1995 for his performance in Forrest Gump.
