“33 years of marriage to my BFF, my lover, my man. Love wins,” Wilson captioned a photo of them posing outside while wearing white.

The pair first met in 1981 on the set of Hank’s sitcom “Bosom Buddies.” At the time, he was still married to his first wife, college sweetheart, Samantha Lewes. They had two children together, actor Colin Hanks, 45, and writer Elizabeth Hanks, 40.

By 1987, Hanks and Lewes had officially separated and a year late he and Wilson got married.

They share two sons together, Chet, 32, and Truman, 27.

The couple have shared difficult times together.

Chet has been open about his addiction issues, revealing last year that his parents sent him to a program for “troubled teens” in 2008.

Wilson was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy followed by reconstruction surgery.

Five years later both actors tested positive for COVID-19 while Hanks was filming “Elvis” in Australia.

The March 2020 diagnosis, which was early on in the pandemic, made international headlines as they were the first high-profile names to contract the virus.
