Given their position as independent superstars, we can all blame ourselves for failing to remember that Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have been together for more than 30 years.
Kyra was just twelve years old when she first met Kevin, who was seven years her senior. After seeing a Kevin Bacon-starring film together, she and her brother eventually got to know one another.
It took 10 years until they crossed paths once again, on the set of Lemon Sky. Kyra said that bacon wasn’t exactly her style.
She later changed her mind, and the two were married the following year, in 1989.
After exchanging vows in a private ceremony in Connecticut, the couple had a 300-person party at Manhattan hotspot Au Bar. Kevin and Kyra made the decision to be married in 1987 on Christmas Eve, and they only invited close relatives and friends.
Sosie portrayed Skye Miller in the Netflix adolescent drama “13 Reasons Why,” following in the footsteps of her parents. Travis, a self-employed musician, wrote the soundtrack for “Story of a Girl,” a movie directed by his parents.
When Kyra said in 2008, “If they had told me that at 22 I would meet the guy I would marry and that at 23 I would marry him and have a kid, I would have told them they were out of their mind.
But getting together hasn’t always been easy for them.
They remembered the time their life savings were taken when Bernie Madoff carried out what is known as the largest Ponzi scam in history in 2008, and they admitted that things haven’t always been simple.
Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick “only” lost $30 to $40 million, despite claims to the contrary that they lost $100 million.
Bacon acknowledged that it was a difficult day, but said, “Relatively quickly we were able to appreciate all the things we had in proportion to whatever we lost, and those are the greatest clichés: children, health, love, a wonderful house. We managed to overcome it as a consequence. I hardly ever consider Madoff at all.
When Kyra made an appearance on the American television show “Finding Your Roots,” she discovered that she and Bacon are ninth cousins once removed.
After a DNA test revealed the actor and actress were distant relatives, Kevin wasn’t very happy to discover this information.
Kyra acknowledged “understanding it,” but said that it was “a bit unnerving.” She said that she was okay with the news as long as they weren’t first cousins.
“You know, I sort of felt like it was a joke at my expense,” he said.
Even though it was a shocking discovery, Kevin and Kyra have undoubtedly moved on, and their bond has grown over time.
They had much more time together recently while confined to their LA home.
Finding something to do is really all that is needed. We do watch a lot of TV and read a lot, even if I don’t read Shakespeare with my husband. We never stop reading. I continue reading. Without a doubt, I make an effort to include work into my everyday life.
Kyra also admits that, wherever they go, her husband always treats her like a distinct individual.
She also acknowledges how well they get along in bed.
Sedgwick asserts that there is a desire for sex and that it is highly important.
What Sedgwick’s wife appreciates most about her dedicated partner was disclosed to Good Housekeeping in 2012.
He is so morally upright. He has impeccable morals. He has strong moral principles, which I find appealing, and he doesn’t cheat or lie, the woman remarked. “Kevin’s calm demeanor and absence of “crazy” continue to astound me.”
