Hanks and Wilson initially crossed paths on the set of Bosom Buddies back in 1981; however, their romantic relationship did not begin until a few years later when they reunited on screen for the 1985 film Volunteers. By then, the 66-year-old had separated from his wife, Samantha Lewes, and he and Wilson began dating.

The couple revealed that they had an instant connection with each other the very first time they met. “Rita and I just looked at each other and — kaboing — that was that,” Hanks previously revealed to GQ. “I asked Rita if it was the real thing for her, and it just couldn’t be denied.”

“One of the things, when we met, was that we just got along instantly,” Wilson disclosed to Kelly Clarkson in 2020. “First of all, I love a good storyteller, so anybody who could tell a good story, I’m down with that. … I love that. He makes me laugh all the time. He’s a great storyteller.”

Hanks also stated humorously that they are not ready to share the secret of their marriage. “The only way anyone is getting the secret to a happy marriage is by paying a hefty price,” he explained. “We’ll sell it to you individually for $17 billion.”
