Sun May 04 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Hollywood Icon Tom Hanks Celebrates 37th Anniversary Amidst Family Memoir Revelations
**Los Angeles, CA** – Amidst recent family revelations, Hollywood legend Tom Hanks took to Instagram to celebrate his 37th wedding anniversary with wife Rita Wilson. The couple shared heartwarming photos, one depicting them enjoying a sunny beach day in swimwear, and another showing a cozy winter scene. Hanks’ caption simply read, “37 years married. Today! Love you, Mrs. -Mr. THanks,” while Wilson’s post included multiple heart emojis and the message, “Happy 37th anniversary my love!!!”
The anniversary celebration comes on the heels of the release of a memoir by Hanks’ daughter, E.A. Hanks, from his first marriage to Samantha Lewes. In “The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road,” E.A. Hanks details a challenging childhood marked by her parents’ divorce and her mother’s subsequent health struggles. The memoir paints a picture of financial instability and emotional hardship, contrasting sharply with the public image of the Hanks family. E.A. describes a difficult upbringing, including periods of neglect and poverty following the family’s move to Sacramento. Lewes passed away from lung cancer in 2002 when E.A. was 19 years old.
While the memoir offers a candid and personal account of E.A. Hanks’ experiences, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s public display of affection serves as a testament to their enduring relationship. The contrasting narratives highlight the complexities of family life, even for those in the public eye.
