Tom Hanks Divorcing Rita Wilson? Hollywood Couple's Marriage Reportedly In Trouble Because Of Son Chet
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are reportedly on the verge of splitting due to their son Chet's worsening behavior.
Far from what the Hollywood ex-couples went through, Hanks and Wilson reportedly began hitting rock bottom because of their son, Chet. Despite their over three decades of marriage, the couple never had any marital issues except for the things Chet does that jeopardize their relationship.
Woman's Day reported this week that Hanks and Rita are at odds because of the issues in handling Chet's conduct.
Chet infamously became the subject of allegations of racism, and he even suffered from criticisms for speaking up about his anti-vaccine beliefs even after his parents tested positive for COVID-19.
The Hollywood star's son also faced legal issues for allegedly abusing, assaulting, robbing, and threatening his ex-girlfriend, Kiana Parker. The events led people to brand him as an abuser. Since then, Chet got a restraining order and has been banned from possessing a firearm.
"They were at a loss. They love Chet and always will, but it was the first time they were at odds with each other as parents. Tom wanted to publicly address some of Chet's allegations. He worried it was going to do real damage to their family, but Rita wouldn't hear of it," a source said.
The actress is said to be seriously disappointed with Chet's past behavior. Still, Wilson remains hopeful since he is still their son.
Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson Ending Marriage Because Of Chet?
Like what they pledged when they got married, Hanks and Wilson want to go through everything "through thick and thin." Instead of letting their marriage be at odds, the couple surely works together in order to make their son's image and life better than ever.
On top of that, the aforesaid source must have no idea why Hanks and Wilson are often referred to as the most enduring couples in Hollywood.

For instance, Hanks himself opened up about the success of their relationship in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2001. At that time, he revealed that timing, maturity, and their intimate connection helped them grow together.
"In real life, our connection is as concrete as me sitting here. Not that marriage doesn't come close to being hell in a handbasket sometimes. But we both know that no matter what, we'll be with each other - and we'll get through it," he said.
With that, there is no way they would let their family issues crumble down their marriage instantly.
