The Cast of Sleepless in Seattle: Where Are They Now?
Sleepless in Seattle premiered on June 25, 1993, which means that it has been 29 years since Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan met at the top of the Empire State Building
Tom Hanks

DeMille Award) and two SAG Awards. Hanks has been married to Rita Wilson — who also appeared in Sleepless in Seattle — since 1988, and has four grown children.
