In the throwback photo, Kyra, 55, was wearing a gold jumpsuit and Kevin captioned the snapshot: "Trends come and go, but kyrasedwickofficial is eternal. Did you catch her on callyourmotherabc last night? A post shared by Kevin Bacon kevinbacon. His fans were quick to comment with one writing: "And still gorgeous," to which Kevin responded: "More than ever. When another follower wrote: "She's awesome!
You lucked out when she fell in love with you," Kevin said: "I remind myself every day. Kyra recently opened up about her longstanding marriage and told The Post : "Honestly, we just got lucky, there's no secret, we just got so lucky when we were so young. If someone had told me when I was 21 that I was going to be married and have a kid by 23, I would have told them they were out of their minds because I was very ambitious, I was very independent.
We're just really lucky, and it's not hard. Some of the information in this story may have changed after publication. For more information or to donate, click here.

Well, actually, the first time they met, Sedgwick was a shy year-old attempting to let the year-old stage actor know she was impressed with his work. Bacon was grabbing some food at a deli post-performance and "a little girl was in there who had just seen the matinee, and her brother said, 'You liked that actor, go tell him you liked him,'" the City on a Hill star recalled in a interview on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson , "and it was Kyra.
By their second introduction in she was relatively grown up, all of 22 with appearances on soap opera Another World and an episode of Miami Vice under her belt, and he was the year-old alum of Diner , Animal House and Footloose , fresh off a longterm relationship with Pollan. Right around that time, incidentally, Pollan herself was remaking the acquaintance of her former Family Ties boyfriend and future husband Fox. So, all's well that ends well and everything.
So the second time Sedgwick crossed paths with Bacon, he was boarding the van to their Cambridge, Mass. Sedgwick's first thought, she recalled to Piers Morgan in a interview : "'He's really cocky and he thinks he's so cool. Her distaste registered, but Bacon was still besotted. But he was convinced in that instant she was the one "I was right," he told Morgan and so he was willing to put in the work. And the money. Proving himself the affable, giving type of movie star, he asked the whole Lemon Sky cast to join him for dinner on a regular basis.
Undeterred, he attempted a new tactic. As they filmed a scene that required him to massage oil into her back, "He said to me, 'You know you're really tight. Have you ever had a massage? Learning she'd never indulged in the small luxury, he recommended the masseuse at his hotel: "He said, 'You should make an appointment to go see her, and you know, it just so happens the massage room is in the gym and if I happen to be finished with my workout when you're finished with your massage, maybe we can get dinner?
I'm not going to tell him when my massage is. Fast forward to that weekend when Sedgwick stumbled out of the spa only to spy a sweaty Bacon wrapping up his StairMaster workout. I thought it was just a coincidence," she admitted. It was an unquestionable truth of mine. I've never had anything like that before or after. By the holidays the duo—both born the youngest of six in bustling cities with Philadelphia-bred Bacon growing up just a couple hours from Sedgwick's New York City—were so confident in their pairing, the actor dropped an engagement ring into the toe of a stocking and proposed on Christmas Eve.
Hollywood's Long-Term Couples. Sedgwick, too, sometimes marvels at their quick progression. Though there was one snag on the way to forever, Sedgwick confessing three months into their engagement that she actually hated the ring her future husband had chosen. I don't care—we'll take it back. Perhaps spurred on by Bacon's early proposal to just dive in and have a couple of kids, they were content to try a let's-see-what-happens policy on their honeymoon and ended up as parents-to-be.
I got pregnant in two weeks. Son Travis Bacon arrived on June 23, , and sister Sosie Bacon joined him on March 15, they've both since enlisted in the family business with the 13 Reasons Why actress accepting a part in Mom's Lifetime movie Story of a Girl and her actor-composer sibling producing the music , and suddenly the newlyweds were juggling steady acting careers with a new marriage and two toddlers.
Those early years could be tough, Sedgwick has admitted. As she collected roles in 's Born on the Fourth of July , 's Pyrates with Bacon and 's Singles she struggled with the inevitable mom guilt. I was always fraught with guilt, and it's such a waste of an emotion. It keeps you out of the moment of being where you are, and I've had a lot of that over the years. To deal, she dove headfirst into therapy. With Bacon as her rock, "I did some real digging, which was not pleasant," she shared.
They instituted candlelit family dinners "It's our time to share one another's company—no electronics," Bacon noted to Good Housekeeping and kid-free date nights were also mandatory events. It's the foundation on which everything is built. Kids should know that your needs are important, because if they think your happiness lies only in them, that's a lot of pressure on them. As young parents, they made it a point to line up a series of babysitters that would allow them to duck out for dinner or a show.
It was during that first decade of marriage that Sedgwick found her voice. Struggling with the quieter life afforded them at their rural Connecticut farmhouse, she was watching the Today show when she saw Katie Couric mention "that the mother is the emotional center of the family," she recalled to Good Housekeeping. And that's when it clicked—they simply had to move back to Manhattan.
I needed the pulse of the city. My mental health was at stake I was just like, 'I am going crazy and we have to move back. Her admission launched one of the couple's rare fights, a battle they waged for some six months. But, she says, "We got through it just by knowing that no one was going anywhere. Proving the best relationships really are a series of give and takes, she, in turn, accepted his need to add another line to his resume.
He joined up with older sibling Michael Bacon to form The Bacon Brothers, a musical duo that's produced nine rock, soul, folk and Americana albums since Accepting he'd have another obligation dragging him away from the family on top of his film gigs was initially tough, she admitted: "It was wonderful that he had [another] creative outlet. But it wasn't always like, 'Yay!
