Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have celebrated 35 years together.

The Hollywood couple first met on the set of comedy series Bosom Buddies back in 1981, and they've been by each other's side ever since.

However, Hanks, 66, was actually married at the time, and the pair didn't go public with their relationship for another five years, before eventually tying the knot in 1988.

As well as having two children of their own - Wilson became step-mum to the Toy Story actor's two older children from a previous relationship, Colin, 45, and Elizabeth, 40.

And on Sunday (30 April), they celebrated a huge day for them both, having been married for over three decades.

In a post to Instagram, Wilson, 66, shared a snap of them together, with Hanks baking her a special anniversary cake, which said 'Happy Anniversary' across it.

Sharing the sweet moment, Wilson wrote: "35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything."

Since the post went up, fans and followers of the couple have piled into the comments to offer some words of support.

"Happy anniversary, Rita! Congratulations!" wrote one.

Another commented: "Just beautiful! Congratulations."

"Happy Anniversary you beautiful kids!!!!" put a third.

While someone else added: "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! So happy for you both."

This comes after Wilson got pretty introspective about her relationship with Hanks.

Speaking to People magazine last year, the singer said she sort of put her own career on the back burner so she could concentrate on her kids.

"I slowed down my work because I really wanted to be the mom that was there when they got home, drove the carpool and did all those things," she told the outlet.

"Tom was also working a lot, so we would travel with him. If both of us were working and not home, my kids would have been affected. I wouldn't call slowing down my career a sacrifice, I would call it a choice."

However, she said she was still supportive of her husband and proud of what he has achieved.

"Tom and I have always been supportive of each other and what we do," she said.

"I remember doing press junkets back in the day, and interviewers would say to me, 'Gosh, it must be so difficult to be with someone so famous.' I would think, 'Why are they saying that?'

"Then I realised that the question was more about them and how they would feel in that situation than me."
