The couple met<\/a> on the set of ABC’s sitcom Bosom Buddies<\/em> in 1981 and reconnected years later. They went public with their relationship in 1986 and married in 1988. Hanks and Wilson are parents<\/a> to Hanks’ two youngest sons, Chester “Chet” Hanks, 35, and Truman, 30. Hanks shares his older two kids, Colin, 48, and E.A., 44, with his ex-wife Samantha Lewes<\/a>, who died at 49 years old in 2002.<\/p>\n Hanks and Wilson most recently stepped out in public at the opening of Barack Obama<\/a>‘s Obama Presidential Center<\/a> in Chicago on June 18. The couple were also recently seen celebrating the Fourth of July at Macy’s annual fireworks show<\/a> in New York City with a number of celebrities in the wake of Taylor Swift<\/a> and Travis Kelce<\/a>‘s star-studded wedding<\/a> at Madison Square Garden on July 3. Wilson and Hanks attended the wedding the day prior as well.<\/p>\n Wilson recently opened up about her and Hanks’ marriage when she spoke with PEOPLE for a cover story ahead of the release for her album Sound of a Woman<\/em>. One of the most important bedrocks of their relationship, she said, remains their shared bathroom. “That’s where you download everything<\/a>,” she said. “That’s where you download the day. You laugh about what you’re doing. In the mornings, you’re thinking about, ‘What are you doing today? Where are you going to be? Great, I want you there.’ “<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n Wilson also said in that cover story that she and Hanks “never go to bed mad.” “I heard that early, early on, and I thought, ‘That’s actually really good.’ You don’t want to wake up in the morning and have that lingering feeling,” she said. “So whatever it is, resolve it before you go to bed.”<\/p>\n Hanks most recently appeared on the big screen in 2025’s The Phoenician Scheme<\/em>. In June, he reprised his iconic voice role as Toy Story’s sheriff toy Woody for Toy Story 5<\/em><\/a>.
