Back in 2013, Hanks opened up about his marriage to Wilson in a CNN interview, calling "every day" with her a "blast" and "fun."

"I must say that when I met Rita, I thought, 'Oh, this is what it's supposed to be like when you are married to somebody," Hanks said. "It's supposed to be this carefree and easy and, you know, oddly enough, weighty."

"In any long term relationship, if you're lucky, you started with a spark, that beautiful glimmer that ignites into a lasting love," Wilson wrote in part. "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."

Hanks and Wilson married back on April 30, 1988, and share a blended family, including their sons Chester "Chet" Marlon Hanks, Truman Theodore Hanks, and Tom Hanks' son Colin Hanks and daughter Elizabeth Hanks, whom he shares with ex-wife Samantha Lewes.
