Celebrity Couples Who Met On Set, And Now They’re In Love

12. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Movie: Bosom Buddies
Location:
New York
Year:
1984

Tom Hanks is so likable, it’s almost difficult to imagine that he actually met his wife of many years, fellow actress Rita Wilson, when he was still married to his first wife, Samantha Lewes. Rita and Tom first crossed paths when he was starring on the show Bosom Buddies. Rita appeared in one episode.

He later told GQ, “Rita and I just looked at each other and — kaboing! — that was that. I asked Rita if it was the real thing for her, and it just couldn’t be denied.” With his marriage already on the rocks, it didn’t take long for the split to happen. By 1988, Tom and Rita were happily married.
