TOM HANKS' ADORABLE BIRACIAL GRANDCHILD

It may be a surprise to some that Tom and Rita's little 3-year-old grandaughter Michaiah is the result of an interracial relationship between their son Chet Hanks and Tiffany Miles.

Little Michaiah calls Tom and Rita adorable pet names: ‘Pappau,’ and ‘Yia Yia’- the same names her two cousins call their grandparents.

The country star and the Academy Award-winner are faced with a different challenge as grandparents.

"When you have grandkids, if you're with one of them -- or all three of them – look, there's no book, no radio, no TV. You're going to be entertained by them every moment that you're there. Sit back and watch the show!" Tom revealed.

RITA WILSON'S BATTLE WITH CANCER

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks have been co-chairs along with Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw of the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, raising money for women’s cancers.

But Rita never imagined she'd succumb to the dread disease. In 2015 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

After several months of treatment, Rita was declared cancer-free and has remained healthy ever since.

After her experience, Rita constantly reminds people to make regular cancer diagnosis to detect it in the early stages, when the disease offers the best chance of survival.
