Chet Hanks, the 35-year-old son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, has moved into an RV park in Nashville to focus on his country music career. On The Tonight Show on April 28, 2026, he explained that he didn't want to rent and furnish an apartment, having recently furnished a condo in Los Angeles. Hanks bought a Jayco Eagle RV after staying in an Airstreamⓘ during a trip to Northern California, noting it has everything he needs, including a kitchen and shower.
He said he is the youngest resident in the park, while his retired neighbors turned out to be "great people." His band Something Out West debuted at the Stagecoach festival, where Tom Hanks was spotted dancing in the crowd. According to one source, the duo signed with Big Machine Records, and his parents frequently visit Nashville.
