LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rita Wilson posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to her husband Tom Hanks on Instagram on Sunday, July 9 as 'A Man Called Otto' star turned 67.

"Happy Birthday to this man who is my lover, my best friend, my family, the father of my children," Rita began her sweet post. She added, "He loves a typewriter just slightly less than me, ( why is there no typewriter emoji?) invents cocktails like Diet Cokecaine ( Diet Coke mixed with Champagne) or a Cokearita( Diet Coke mixed with margarita) , DJs regularly on @bossradio66 , is happiest being surround by his family and friends, and has committed to telling the stories of veterans and has created his own coffee brand supporting veterans, @givehanx Hanx for our Troops." "He is one of the smartest people I know, has made me laugh everyday for 38 years, can nap anywhere at anytime." Rita closed with, "Happy happy birthday my love!" and a series of amusing birthday emojis.
