Hanks' birthday celebrations take place after he and Wilson celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary back in April. At the time, Wilson shared a sweet photo of Hanks presenting her with a cake on her Instagram and Twitter accounts.
"35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything," she captioned the social media posts.
The pair's relationship dates back four decades, when they first met on the set of ABC's sitcom Bosom Buddies in 1981. Though they were just friends at first, since Hanks was married to his college sweetheart Samantha Lewes at the time, they later went public with their relationship in 1986.
After two years of dating, Hanks and Wilson got married in 1988 and later had two kids together, Chester "Chet" Hanks and Truman Theodore Hanks. (Wilson is also a stepmom to Hanks' older kids, Colin Hanks and Elizabeth Hanks.)
