Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary on April 30, 2024, reflecting on their long-standing partnership with touching personal tributes. The couple, both 67, commemorated the occasion with heartfelt posts and nostalgic photos, highlighting their enduring love and shared life experiences.

Hanks, an acclaimed Oscar-winning actor, took to social media to share his joy. “1988? April 30th? Big Doings. The Wilson & Hanks couple became Wife & Husband. 36 years! Nothing but Love since… Hanx,” he wrote, accompanying his message with a cheerful selfie of the couple on a boat, smiles beaming as they enjoyed their day.

Wilson, known for her roles both as an actress in “Asteroid City” and a singer, echoed her husband’s sentiments with a poignant quote and a carousel of images on her Instagram. “36th anniversary! April 30, 1988. ‘Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be.’ – Robert Browning,” she captioned. The collection of images she shared spanned from their dancing moments to various travel adventures and candid everyday joys, culminating in a humorous snap of the pair laughing together in a car.

The couple first met in 1981 on the set of the television series “Bosom Buddies” and have since built a family and a life together, including two sons, Truman, 28, and Chet, 33. Hanks also has two older children, Elizabeth, 41, and Colin, 46, from his first marriage.

Throughout their marriage, Hanks and Wilson have not only nurtured their family but also collaborated professionally on several film projects. They stood by each other during challenging times, including Wilson’s battle with breast cancer in 2015, demonstrating their commitment and resilience as partners.

In January 2023, the couple hinted at their excitement for their upcoming 36th anniversary, recalling their lavish 30th-anniversary celebration. “That was such a great party, that people who were not at that party claimed to have been at that party. That’s how good of a party it was,” Hanks reminisced with a laugh.

While details of their 36th-anniversary celebration remain undisclosed, the couple’s shared posts and ongoing public affection speak volumes about their deep connection and mutual respect. As they look forward to more years together, their relationship continues to inspire and resonate with fans around the world.
