Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about a real-life Hollywood love story that’s as inspiring as it is heartwarming. Kyra Sedgwick recently opened up about how her heart still skips a beat whenever Kevin Bacon walks into the room. That’s right—after three decades of marriage, two kids, and two high-powered careers, this couple is still as in love as ever. In an interview with Redbook back in 2012, Kyra gushed, “People think it’s some kind of fairy tale, but it’s just life. We just really, truly love each other.” Now, doesn’t that sound like the kind of love we all dream of?
And here’s the thing: they take their vows—and their commitment to each other—very seriously. In a December 2010 interview with Good Housekeeping, Kyra shared their secret to staying together: "Keep the fights clean, and don’t have sex with somebody else." Sounds simple, right? But it speaks volumes about their dedication to each other. Both Kyra and Kevin knew from the start that their relationship was forever. Even when they argue, they approach it with a sense of security. As Kyra put it, “When we fight, it’s not scary because we know this is forever.”
From First Impressions to Forever
Now, here’s where their story gets interesting. Back in 1987, when Kyra first met Kevin on the set of a PBS remake of the play Lemon Sky, she wasn’t exactly smitten right away. “My first thought was, ‘He’s so cocky and he thinks he’s so cool,’” Kyra once admitted. But you know what they say: opposites attract. Kevin, on the other hand, was instantly drawn to her. “I found her really beautiful, sexy, and aloof,” he confessed in a 2018 interview with ET. “I was just immediately in love with her.” Talk about a classic case of "he liked her first"!

Once Kyra finally agreed to go out with Kevin, things quickly escalated. It wasn’t long before they realized they were soulmates. A close friend once told Closer Weekly, “They share the same values, the same core beliefs. They both have a wild sense of humor and love to laugh.” It was clear from the start that these two were meant for each other. In December of that year, Kevin proposed in the most romantic way possible—hiding the ring in a Christmas stocking. Shockingly, Kyra said yes! Can you believe it?
Marriage First, Everything Else Second
Unlike many couples in Hollywood, Kyra and Kevin have always prioritized their marriage—even after having kids. Their two children, Travis and Sosie, were born in 1992 and 1996, respectively. But as Kyra explained to Redbook, “Of course, the kids come first when it comes to planning your life, but it’s crucial to keep the relationship as a couple strong. It’s the foundation on which everything else is built.” This mindset helped them navigate the ups and downs of their careers, the move from rural Connecticut to New York City, and even the loss of their life savings in the Bernie Madoff scandal back in 2008. Talk about resilience!
