Hanks and Wilson first met in 1981, while the Forrest Gump actor was still married to ex-wife Samantha Lewes, with whom he shares children Colin, 46, and Elizabeth, 41.

They began their relationship as friends and costars, and the romance blossomed when they filmed 1985 movie Volunteers.

They tied the knot in 1988, and later welcomed son Chester "Chet," 33, and son Truman, 28, per People.

Over the years, the actors have sweetly celebrated each other and the love they share for the world to see. For example, Wilson marked Hanks' 65th birthday on Instagram with a picture of him cycling and the caption, "Riding into 65 better than ever! Happy Birthday to the love of my life! Xox"

Sweetest.
