Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary! The couple is enjoying their quiet life as empty nesters and living on a farm with their animals.
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are successful actors who have been happily married in Hollywood for 35 years.
Each of them shared a tribute for their milestone anniversary. Sedgwick posted a photo from the first day they met on the “Lemon Sky” set. ‘It was 1987- on the set of “Lemon Sky” – I met a man named Kevin. Happy 35, my love,” she wrote.
Her husband also shared a throwback picture from their younger days. “35 years feels like a heartbeat,” Bacon gushed. The couple’s love story began in 1987 on the set of “Lemon Sky.” For Bacon, it was love at first sight. “I was knocked out. I thought she was amazing,” Bacon recalled.
Bacon had already starred in the iconic film “Footloose,” so he was on the rise to fame, but Sedgwick had not yet seen the film. Her first impression of the actor was that he was full of himself.
But the “Tremors” actor convinced them to go on a date with him. They ended up having a night full of long conversations and laughter. After that night, Sedgwick knew he was the one.
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon’s Quiet Life and Secret to 35 Years Together
Sedgwick and Bacon own multiple homes. They have one in New York, Los Angeles, and Connecticut. During the early stages of the COVID-19 lockdown, the couple spent their time in Los Angeles but eventually moved to their quirky farmhouse in Connecticut for a quieter life.
The actors enjoy their life outside of busy Los Angeles in New York. The couple keep their lives private, but Bacon has given fans a tiny look into the farmhouse. They have a variety of animals including, alpacas and goats.
The actor was seen sitting in front of a mint green unit filled with vintage photo frames and statement pieces like a large doll and head figurine. But Sedgwick and Bacon’s lives are even quieter now that they are empty nesters. The “Loverboy” actress opened up about the experience and transition of seeing her children move out.
The actress shares two children with her husband, Travis and Sosie. Sedgwick relived being an empty nester on the comedy show “Call Your “Mother, where she played a mom adjusting to an empty house.
“I think it’s a real crushing blow, honestly, when they leave you,” the actress said about seeing her kids leave. But for Sedgwick, one can tell if they have done a good parenting job when they are fired from it.
Although it was not easy watching her children leave, she knew she had done a good job for them to have gained independence. The mother of two has been proud to see her children learn from each other.
As for the secret to over three decades of marriage, both Bacon and Sedgwick believe a sense of humor is very important. Even though the couple both have busy lives, it has been lovely for Bacon to watch his wife thrive as a director.
He said his wife had been the happiest behind the camera, and Sedgwick added that she loved being in control of the storytelling. When they are not at work, they love to keep their time together intimate and simple.
The actor said he loved it when they just went on walks and talked all night. It is a simple thing to do together, but still very enjoyable for Bacon.
