Wilson and Hanks first began their relationship in 1981 when they first met on the set of the ABC sitcom Bosom Buddies.

Hanks also had two children with Lewes before their split, Colin Hanks and Elizabeth Hanks.
The pair are also no strangers to tough times.

The couple also dealt battled COVID-19 together, after both were diagnosed in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic.
