Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s love story is the perfect proof that Hollywood marriages do last.
This year, they celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary, and reminded us why their love for one another is still going strong.
The pair isn’t new to posting cute messages about one another on their social media, and this milestone celebration wasn’t an exception.
Both Kevin and Kyra posted about their anniversary and shared throwback photos from the early days of their relationship.
“35 years feels like a heartbeat,” Kevin captioned the photo showing his shirtless and young self with his dear wife sitting in his lap.
As expected, friends and people close to the couple posted their well-wishes. Rita Wilson commented, “You guys! happy anniversary. Is it really true? The pace is extremely quick! We will shortly turn 36, making us 35.”
Kyra also posted about the anniversary and reminded her husband just how much she loves him with a photo of herself from her younger days, having her hair pulled back and wearing a letterman jacket with Kevin behind her.
“I met a man named Kevin in 1987 while working on the set of ‘Lemon Sky’. Cheers to 35, my love.”
What we love about this celeb couple is that they are both grounded and very affectionate about each other.
In the past, Kevin spoke of the moment he first laid eyes on Kyra and thought to himself that she is beyond amazing.
Kyra on the other hand said, “I remember thinking, ‘Oh, he thinks he’s really cool.’” But just a day after their first date, she realized he was the one. “I remember waking up and going, ‘I feel like home.’” She added: “I realized, ‘Oh, that was him.’”
“The best Hollywood duo for life!” one fan wrote, while another added: “My favorite Hollywood couple!”
Clearly, we can’t agree more.
When Kevin turned 65, Kyra made his day a memorable one, despite him not being a fan of birthday celebrations.
“Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a fan of my birthday. My wife has made this a beautiful day. She has said recently our marriage is like roast chicken, so she made a perfect chicken for dinner, followed by my favorite–buckwheat banana bread with chocolate icing. Perfect day,” he wrote.
He even posted two photos, one showing a piece of his birthday cake, and another one of the roasted chicken. Obviously, this made many fans’ day as well.
Kevin and Kyra tied the knot in September 1988. They share two children together, 34-year-old son named Travis Bacon and 31-year-old daughter named Sosie Bacon.
Happy anniversary to a wonderful couple.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have proven that true love can thrive in Hollywood, where lasting marriages are often the exception rather than the rule. Their love story, spanning 35 years, continues to inspire fans and fellow celebrities alike.
A Love That Began on Set
Kevin and Kyra first met in 1987 while working on the set of Lemon Sky. Though sparks didn’t immediately fly for Kyra—she initially thought Kevin was “too full of himself”—everything changed after their first date. Reflecting on that moment, Kyra shared, “I woke up the next day and felt like I was home. I realized, ‘Oh, that was him.’” Kevin, on the other hand, was instantly captivated, recalling, “I thought she was amazing from the moment I saw her.”
The two tied the knot on September 4, 1988, embarking on a journey of love and partnership that has endured through the ups and downs of life in the spotlight.
A Celebration of Love
