Marriages in Hollywood often seem fleeting, leaving us with doubts about lasting love. However, in the midst of this chaos, there is one couple who has not only defied the odds, but has also captured our hearts: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.
Their remarkable love story began long before they could have even imagined. Sedgwick first laid eyes on Bacon when she was just 12 years old. During a trip to the movies with her brother, they unexpectedly stumbled upon a film featuring Bacon. Little did she know, this chance encounter would shape their future.
A decade later, fate intervened once more. Both Bacon and Sedgwick found themselves working on the film Lemon Sky. Despite Sedgwick’s initial lack of attraction, Bacon was captivated by her from the very beginning.
“I wasn’t exactly his usual type,” Sedgwick admitted with a touch of amusement. “I remember stealing a glance at him as he walked away and thinking, ‘Well, I guess some girls like that.’”
Overcoming their differences, the couple began dating and eventually tied the knot in 1988. Today, they proudly share two children: Travis Sedgwick Bacon, a talented solo musician, and Sosie Ruth, a rising star following in her parents’ footsteps in the film industry.
Now, after an incredible 34 years of marriage, Bacon and Sedgwick are still as infatuated with each other as they were on day one. Bacon never misses an opportunity to shower his wife with adoration, while Sedgwick feels like the most beautiful woman in the room whenever she is with him.
When asked about the secret to their enduring relationship, Bacon’s response is both charming and practical: “Don’t take relationship advice from celebrities.” But the true secret lies in their unwavering love and respect for each other.
“He is a man of integrity. His moral compass is unwavering. He is honest, faithful, and that, my friends, is undeniably attractive,” Sedgwick shared. “I am continually amazed by Kevin’s calmness and the absence of any drama.”
An astonishing revelation came to light during an appearance on the television show “Finding Your Roots”: Bacon and Sedgwick are ninth cousins. Although initially surprising, they quickly discovered that their familial connection is incredibly distant.
Further exploration of Bacon’s family tree unveiled a surprising lineage. His 22nd great grandfather was none other than King Edward I, the historical figure who battled William Wallace. Bacon jokingly added, “As long as we’re not first cousins, it’s all good.”
Like many of us, Bacon and Sedgwick have spent the majority of their time at home due to the ongoing pandemic. Sedgwick has turned to writing, while they both enjoy a wide variety of movies and books.
Regardless of their surroundings, it is undeniable that Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick embody the essence of a Hollywood power couple. Their love story continues to inspire and enchant, serving as a testament that true love can indeed withstand the test of time.
