Rita Wilson is 69 years old and has been married to Tom Hanks for more than three decades. That did not save her from the cruel comments that began circulating when photos of her with her husband were leaked: they called her “flabby”, “out of shape”, and compared her mercilessly to his physique.
They met in 1981 on the set of a television series. They married in 1988, after he left his first marriage behind. Since then, they have built something that survived Hollywood, the years and, now, social media as well.
Tom Hanks did not stay silent. He came out to defend his wife’s beauty with the same conviction with which he has always spoken about their relationship, reminding everyone that the true success of a marriage is not measured in likes or anonymous comments. 💕
