When it comes to holiday cheer, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have their own special way of making the season bright, and it’s nothing short of a Hollywood classic! The dynamic duo – known for their red carpet charm and endearing love story – have shared how they celebrate the festive season with their kids, Chet, Truman, Colin, and E.A.
At the Governors Awards in Los Angeles on November 16, Rita Wilson revealed to E! News’ Will Marfuggi that her husband Tom is all about those stocking stuffers. “My husband is really big on stocking stuffers,” Rita laughed, adding, “We always look to see what he’s going to do and I’m like, ‘I don’t need any more pens.’ He’s a pen freak. He’s very interested in little tech things.” It seems Tom’s penchant for pens and gadgets keeps the family guessing during Christmas morning.
“We pull out the books. We look at the year. We ponder the work that's gotta get done,” Tom shared about their tradition of reflecting and planning together.
While Tom might be the techie in the family, Rita admits she’s more of a traditionalist when it comes to giving gifts. She confessed to finding inspiration through online gift guides, making sure there’s always something special under the tree. Despite their different approaches, the couple knows how to keep the festive spirit alive.
Rita recently celebrated her 69th birthday with a cozy dinner surrounded by family and friends, highlighting her love for intimate gatherings.
As much as they enjoy the holidays, Tom and Rita’s enduring love story is what truly warms our hearts. It's been a journey filled with Hollywood moments, from celebrating Tom’s success at the Golden Globes to their production adventures in films like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
Tom once shared with Piers Morgan, "When I met Rita, I thought 'Oh, this is what it's supposed to be like when you are married to someone. It's supposed to be this carefree and easy.'" Whether they’re walking the red carpet or celebrating milestones, these two are the epitome of a Hollywood power couple.
