Kevin Bacon cozies up with wife Kyra Sedgwick in rare public outing together

Publish date: 2024-08-24

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon have been married since 1988

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick looked more loved up than ever as they made a rare public appearance together at the World Premiere at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

The actor put an arm around his wife as she leaned into him while they sat on a red loveseat, speaking to fellow actor Paul Reiser. The actress put a hand on Kevin's leg with a smile and they certainly looked at ease in each other's company. 

The duo matched in black, with Kevin donning a glossy black silk suit and Kyra stunning in a black mesh dress with grid like cutout holes covering it to reveal a slip underneath. Her classic blonde hair was in ringlet-like waves as they listened to Paul.

Kyra and Kevin have been together for over 35 years, and together they share two kids: daughter Sosie and son Kevin. They met on the set of the PBS movie Lemon Sky back in 1987.

For Kevin, it was love at first sight: "I was knocked out," he said. "I thought she was amazing." 

 Kyra took a bit more convincing, but she agreed to a date and the next day she realized he was the one: "I remember waking up and going, 'I feel like home.' I realized, 'Oh, that was him.'"

The secret to their long marriage? It helps that they are "each other's biggest support and fans", according to Kyra in an interview with People. She added: "A sense of humor is crucial. He is very freaking funny."

According to Kyra, they don't "feel" like a Hollywood couple. She told Hoda Kotb: "I don't know, I just… I was raised in New York, he was raised in [Philadelphia], you know, we brought our kids up in New York.

"It's what we do, it's not who we are…  I think we've always just had the same priorities, which was like, keep your feet on the ground, she said, adding: "It's not like it's been easy, longevity is hard, you have to keep on working on trying to get a job, so there's no fantasy of like 'Life is so easy and Hollywood is so easy and movies are so easy.'"
