Tom Hanks Shares The Simple Secret To His 29-Year Marriage With Rita Wilson

If you follow celebrity news, you know that stars go in and out of relationships all the time.

It seems like every day there's a new high-powered couple, a secret celebrity wedding, or an overly dramatized divorce.

Celebrities seem to break up, get divorced, and find new relationships like it's no big deal. With 72-day marriages, cheating scandals, and divorces all over the place, sometimes it seems like the sanctity of marriage is lost on big stars.

One couple that has managed to keep their relationship strong despite their very public life is Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.

Tom Hanks, 60, is known for his roles in Sleepless in SeattleForrest GumpSaving Private Ryan, and The Da Vinci Code. Rita Wilson, 60, is also a well-known actress, singer, producer, and activist. She's had roles in Now and ThenThe Story of Us, and Runaway Bride.

The two actors got married in 1988 and have two children together. After 29 years of marriage, Tom Hanks is sharing the secret behind their wonderful marriage.

And it's not just words. Tom and Rita always stand by each other's sides.

In April 2015, Rita was diagnosed with cancer and had a double mastectomy.

Because they caught it early, she was able to avoid chemotherapy and radiation.

Now, Rita is cancer free. The thing that amazed her the most during her entire experience was Tom's unwavering support.

"You never know how your spouse is going to react in a situation like this," she said in an interview with the New York Times.

"I was so amazed, so blown away by the care my husband gave me… Who knew it would make you even closer?"

He was caring and gentle and made Rita feel like everything was going to be OK.
