In December 2022, Wilson told PEOPLE aboutpulling back on her work lifewhen her kids were young and supporting Hanks' career.
“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 said at the time. “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.”

Wilson added, “Tom and I have always been supportive of each other and what we do. 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 realized that the question was more about them and how they would feel in that situation than me.”
Back in 2019, Hanks told PEOPLE heconsiders himself part of a team, not an individual.
