“I think that having the virus at the same time made it that little bit easier,” said Wilson, a singer-songwriter. “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.”
In 2022, when the power pair were in New York City promoting Elvis, which Hank stars, the actor and filmmaker pulled a huge power move when a fan tripped his lovely wife while they were traveling from the building to their car.
The usually cool Hanks sniped at swarming fans, “Guys, this is my wife. Back the f–k off! Knocking over my wife?!”
The same year, some pictures emerged of Wilson – who’s no stranger to weight fluctuations – and she became the target of online trolls who compared her to an “unmade bed,” and said she looked “flabby.”
Tom looks in great shape, while Rita looks out of shape and flabby,” one user writes, while another anonymous critic adds, “Rita Wilson has really let herself go.”
Before Hanks had a chance to respond, netizens jumped in with comments, defending Wilson, who worked as a producer with her husband on the 2022 film A Man Called Otto, that Hanks also starred.
One fan writes, “Please, Mr. NoProfilePic, post a picture of your perfect body that gives you the right to judge others so harshly…” A second shares, “OMG, really, we get older and our bodies change dramatically. I think she looks great!” And a third adds, “Beauty within ya twit.”
As for Hanks, he says his wife is “extremely brave and beautiful,” and “one of the most classically beautiful women who’s ever walked the planet Earth.”
“I’m a lucky man,” he previously said.
