Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, joyfully commemorated their 36th year of marriage. They’re honoring over three decades of companionship by sharing endearing photos and heartfelt messages expressing their love and appreciation for one another.
Tom and Rita, both 67 years old, celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary on April 30. They turned to Instagram to express their happiness and love for each other with their followers. On that memorable day, Hanks shared a photo of them enjoying the sunlight and captioned it, “1988? April 30th? Big Doings. The Wilson & Hanks couple became Wife & Husband. 36 years! Nothing but Love since… Hanx.”
Wilson also shared several snapshots showcasing the various moments they’ve enjoyed together. These moments ranged from adventures like skiing and visiting the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza to spending time in a music studio. Among these, there was a humorous snapshot where Hanks is seen resting his head on Wilson’s shoulder.
The series culminates with a delightful photo of them sharing laughter in a car. Wilson’s post was captioned, “36th anniversary! April 30, 1988,” and she closed with a timeless quote from Robert Browning’s “Rabbi Ben Ezra”: “Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be.”
Thousands of fans extended their congratulations to the couple on their special day. Yet, some keen observers were quick to notice something unusual in the photos.
In one of the photos Rita shared featuring her and Tom, the couple is captured smiling for the camera while seated in a restaurant. Tom has his arm around his wife, but there’s a noticeable gap between his hand and her shoulder. “Can we talk about his arm placement in picture 6?? Why is his hand hovering over his wife,” questioned one individual. “Tom so used to the hover hand with fans he does it with his wife too,” joked another person.
Meanwhile, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary in 2023, also exchanging touching congratulations and revealing the secrets and pitfalls of their strong marriage.
