Tom Hanks posts topless selfie with wife Rita Wilson to mark 37th wedding anniversary

gave fans a peek into his personal life with a sun-drenched photo by the Mediterranean Sea, marking 37 years of marriage with his wife, actress and singer Rita Wilson. Posing shirtless and beaming with joy, the 68-year-old Hollywood legend shared the milestone on , where he has over 9 million followers, writing simply: “37 years married. Today! Love you, Mrs. - Mr. T Hanks.”

Wilson, also 68, celebrated the occasion on her own Instagram account, opting for a more modest image of the couple bundled up in a serene, grassy setting. “My love,” she wrote, paying quiet tribute to their love story.

When asked about the glue that has kept them together all these years, Hanks told E! News, “Finding each other! How about that.” Wilson added during a 2023 appearance on CBS Mornings: “We do have fun. You’ve gotta have fun!”

Their love story spans decades and began in the early 1980s, when they first crossed paths on the set of Hanks’ sitcom Bosom Buddies, though he was still married at the time to his college sweetheart, Samantha Lewes. That marriage came to an end in 1987, two years after they separated.

After tying the knot with Wilson in 1988, she became a stepmother to Hanks' two children from his first marriage - Colin and Elizabeth Ann (E.A.) - before the couple had two sons of their own: Chet and Truman.

Recently, E.A. Hanks opened up about her difficult childhood in her memoir The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road, released April 8.

She writes candidly about life with her late mother, who passed away in 2002 from bone cancer at 49, revealing that their upbringing was often unstable. In the book, E.A. recalls the extremes of her early life, suggesting her mother may have suffered from untreated bipolar disorder, leading to periods of abundance followed by times when she and her brother went without food.

Forrest Gump star Tom married Susan Dillingham – who went by the stage name Samantha Lewes – in 1978, before he found fame in Hollywood. The couple welcomed Elizabeth Ann and Colin together. They split in 1987 and Susan, who died in 2002 of lung cancer, got primary custody of the children.

Tom, who went on to marry Rita and welcome children Chet and Truman, would see his two children during the weekends but that soon changed when Susan moved them from Los Angeles to Sacramento without telling Tom.

EA alleges that she and her brother Colin were neglected and emotionally abused by their mother during their time in Sacramento, in an explosive upcoming memoir. She claims in the book that while she was in the seventh grade – which is year eight in the UK – "one night, her emotional violence became physical violence" and she moved to Los Angeles soon after.

EA's mother Susan later died of lung cancer in 2002, when the writer was just 19. In her new book The 10: A Memoir of Family And The Open Road, EA undertakes a six-month road trip from Los Angeles to Palatka, Florida - where her mum's family once lived. The book sees EA hope to learn more about her mum, who EA believes had bipolar though she was never diagnosed, and her dark past.

An excerpt from the book reads: "I was born in Burbank, but after my parents split up, my mother took my older brother and me to live in Sacramento. I have few memories of the early years in Los Angeles.

"Eventually a divorce agreement was settled, and I would visit my dad and stepmother (and soon enough my younger half brothers) on the weekends and during summers, but from 5 to 14, years filled with confusion, violence, deprivation, and love, I was a Sacramento girl. I lived in a white house with columns, a backyard with a pool, and a bedroom with pictures of horses plastered on every wall.

"As the years went on, the backyard became so full of dog s**t that you couldn’t walk around it, the house stank of smoke. The fridge was bare or full of expired food more often than not, and my mother spent more and more time in her big four-poster bed, poring over the Bible.

"One night, her emotional violence became physical violence, and in the aftermath I moved to Los Angeles, right smack in the middle of the seventh grade. My custody arrangement basically switched - now I lived in L.A. and visited Sacramento on the weekends and in the summer. When I was 14, my mother and I drove across America along Interstate 10 to Florida, in a Winnebago that lumbered along the asphalt with a rolling gait that felt nautical."

The excerpt ends with: "My senior year of high school, she called to say she was dying."
