Love that Stands the Test of Time
Marriages in Hollywood can often be short-lived and fleeting. It’s easy to lose faith in the idea of finding lasting love. But amidst the chaos, there is one couple who defies the odds and warms our hearts: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.
Their extraordinary love story began long before they could have ever imagined. Sedgwick first laid eyes on Bacon when she was just 12 years old. It happened during a trip to the movies with her brother. Little did she know that this chance encounter would shape their future.
A decade later, fate brought them together once again. 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 type,” Sedgwick confessed with a hint of amusement. “I remember sneaking a glance at his departing figure and thinking, ‘Well, I guess some girls like that.’”
After overcoming their initial differences, the couple started dating and eventually tied the knot in 1988. Today, they share the joys of parenthood with their two children: Travis Sedgwick Bacon, a talented solo musician, and Sosie Ruth, a rising star in the film industry, following in her parents’ footsteps.
A Love That Grows Stronger with Time
Now, after 34 years of marriage, Bacon and Sedgwick are as infatuated with each other as they were on day one. Bacon never misses an opportunity to shower his wife with adoration. Sedgwick, in return, feels like the most beautiful woman in the room whenever she’s with him.
When asked about the secret to their lasting relationship, Bacon’s response was simple, “Don’t listen to celebrities on how to stay married.” But the truth lies in their unwavering love and respect for each other.
“He is a man of integrity. His moral compass is unshakeable. He is honest, faithful, and that, my friends, is undeniably attractive,” Sedgwick shared with a smile. “I’m continually amazed by Kevin’s calmness and the absence of ‘crazy’.”
Surprising Connections and Unbreakable Bonds
During an appearance on the television show “Finding Your Roots,” a fascinating revelation came to light: Bacon and Sedgwick were ninth cousins. Although it may have initially been unsettling, they discovered that their familial connection was incredibly distant.
Digging deeper into Bacon’s family tree revealed a surprising lineage—his 22nd great grandfather was none other than King Edward I, the historical figure who battled William Wallace. Bacon playfully added, “As long as they’re not first cousins, it’s all good.”
A Love That Transcends Challenges
Like many of us, Bacon and Sedgwick have spent most of their time at home due to the ongoing pandemic. Sedgwick has found solace in writing, while they both indulge in a plethora of movies and books.
Regardless of their surroundings, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick personify the essence of a Hollywood power couple. Their love story continues to inspire and enchant, proving that true love can withstand the test of time.
