Wilson and Hanks’ relationship leads back to 1981 when they first met on the set of the ABC sitcom, Bosom Buddies. They were strictly platonic at the time, as Hanks was still with his ex-wife, the late Samantha Lewes. However, after they divorced, Wilson and Hanks went public in 1986.

The duo also worked through a bout of COVID-19 together, after both were diagnosed in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic. Wilson told The Guardian that going through the illness alongside her husband made the recovery process “a little bit easier.”
We were taking care of each other instead of having the pressure of taking care of one person and no one taking care of you or understanding that the person at home needs a break,” Wilson explained. “We were fortunate we were in a place where we understood what the other was going through.”
