A Hollywood Love Story for the Ages
In the fast-paced world of Hollywood, where relationships often fizzle out as quickly as they begin, there is one couple whose enduring love has captured our hearts: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Despite the odds stacked against them, their love story has stood the test of time.
A Chance Encounter
Their journey began when Sedgwick was only 12 years old. While at the movies with her brother, she caught a glimpse of Bacon on the silver screen. Little did she know that this seemingly insignificant encounter would hold great significance in their future.
A decade later, fate brought them together once again on the set of the film Lemon Sky. Although Sedgwick initially didn’t find herself attracted to Bacon, he was captivated by her from the very beginning.
Sedgwick fondly remembers that moment, saying with a hint of amusement, “I wasn’t exactly his type. I remember sneaking a glance at his departing figure and thinking, ‘Well, I guess some girls like that.’”
Love Blossoms
Despite their initial differences, the couple started dating and eventually tied the knot in 1988. Today, they are proud parents to two children: Travis Sedgwick Bacon, a talented solo musician, and Sosie Ruth, a rising star in the film industry, following in the footsteps of her famous parents.
A Love That Endures
After 34 years of marriage, Bacon and Sedgwick are still as infatuated with each other as they were on day one. Bacon never misses a chance to shower his wife with adoration, and Sedgwick always feels like the most beautiful woman in the room when she’s with him.
When asked about the secret to their long-lasting relationship, Bacon humbly answers, “Don’t listen to celebrities on how to stay married.” But the truth lies in their unwavering love and respect for each other.
Sedgwick admiringly shares, “He is a man of integrity. His moral compass is unshakeable. He is honest, faithful, and that, my friends, is undeniably attractive. I’m continually amazed by Kevin’s calmness and the absence of drama.”
Surprising Connections
During an appearance on the television show “Finding Your Roots,” a surprising revelation came to light: Bacon and Sedgwick were actually distant ninth cousins. Although this may have initially been unsettling, they found solace in the fact that their familial connection was incredibly distant.
Further exploration into Bacon’s family tree revealed a surprising lineage—a historic connection to King Edward I, known for his battle with William Wallace. Bacon jokingly adds, “As long as they’re not first cousins, it’s all good.”
Love in Challenging Times
Like many of us, Bacon and Sedgwick have spent a significant amount of time at home during the ongoing pandemic. Sedgwick has turned to writing, while both of them indulge in a plethora of movies and books.
Regardless of their surroundings, it is undeniable that Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick exemplify the essence of a Hollywood power couple. Their enduring love story continues to inspire and captivate, proving that true love can indeed withstand the test of time.
