Tom and Rita met back in 1981 when the actor was still married to his college sweetheart, Samantha Lewes, and they didn't publicly confirm their relationship until 1986.
Tom has never denied that there was an instant spark between him and Rita, and has been credited as previously telling GQ: "Rita and I just looked at each other and – kaboing – that was that," adding: "I asked Rita if it was the real thing for her, and it just couldn't be denied."
They share sons Chester "Chet" Hanks, 32, and Truman Theodore Hanks, 27. The Forrest Gump star is also a father to Colin Hanks, 45, and Elizabeth Hanks, 40, who he had with his ex-wife. She passed away in 2002 after a battle with bone cancer.
