<\/p>\n\u201cHe definitely wasn\u2019t my type. In fact, I vividly remember looking at his butt when he walked away after we first met and thinking, Well, I guess some girls like that,\u201d Kyra admitted to Wide Open Country.<\/p>\n
But she changed her mind and the two married the following year, in 1988.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The couple tied the know in a private ceremony in Connecticut and had a reception for 300 guests at the Manhattan club Au Bar. Kevin and Kyra, who got engaged on Christmas Eve in 1987, only invited friends and family to their reception.<\/p>\n

Kevin Bacon children
\nShortly after the wedding, they welcomed their first child Travis Sedgwick Bacon. Their other child, Sosie Ruth, was born in 1992.<\/p>\n
Sosie follows in the steps of her parents and has starred as Skye Miller in the Netflix teenage drama\u201d 13 Reasons Why\u201d. Travis makes a living as a solo musician and has written the music for his parents\u2019 movie \u201cStory of a Girl.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now 34 years later the couple is celebrating their anniversary and couldn\u2019t be happier. The Bacon\u2019s decades-long marriage is something of a miracle in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf someone had told me that at 22 I was going to meet the man I was going to marry and at 23 I would marry him and have a child, I would have told them they were out of their mind,\u201d Kyra told Redbook in 2008.<\/p>\n
Bacon is clearly still as much in love with his star wife, and he always makes sure to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In fact, both Kevin and Kyra often post declarations of love on each of their Instagram accounts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But their romance hasn\u2019t always been easy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe time I was hitting what I considered to be bottom was also the time I met my wife, our kids were born, good things were happening. And I was able to keep supporting myself; that always gave me strength\u201d, Bacon told reporters.<\/p>\n
Lost a lot of money
\nThe couple did admit that it hasn\u2019t always been smooth sailing sharing the moment their life savings were lost when in 2008 Bernie Madoff pulled off what was called the largest Ponzi scheme in history.<\/p>\n
According to some sources, Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick lost $100 million, but Celebrity Net Worth claims they \u201donly\u201d lost $30-$40 million.<\/p>\n
But they braved the storm as they both had jobs and although lost millions they didn\u2019t lose everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a bad day,\u201d Bacon told The Guardian and continued: \u201cBut pretty quickly we were able to see all the things we had as opposed to whatever we lost, and those are the biggest cliches: children, health, love, a nice home. So we got through it together. I don\u2019t think about Madoff, like, at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
First cousins
\nIn an appearance on the U.S. TV show \u201cFinding Your Roots\u201d Kyra discovered that she and Bacon are ninth cousins, once removed.<\/p>\n
A DNA test revealed that the actor and actress were distant cousins, which could give you an odd feeling, and Kevin wasn\u2019t that thrilled.<\/p>\n
Kyra claimed\u201d she knew it\u201d but said it was \u201ca little unsettling.\u201d However, she added that she was okay with the revelation, as long as they were not first cousins.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When PBS investigated Kevin\u2019s family ancestry, the show discovered that King Edward I, who fought William Wallace, was his 22nd great grandfather. Kevin joked that his ancestry did not get enough attention, and he also commented on the fact that he and his wife were first cousins.<\/p>\n
\u201cI kind of felt like it was a joke at my expense, you know,\u201d he said.
\nBut even though it was a shocking discovery, Kevin and Kyra obviously went on, and their love has grown stronger each year.<\/p>\n
Love in quarantine
\nRecently they\u2019ve had a chance to spend even more time together during quarantine at their LA home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m doing a little writing, even though I truly don\u2019t have any sense of whether or not I\u2019m any good at it at all,\u201d Kyra told People.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really is about just finding something to do. Certainly, I don\u2019t spend time with my husband reading Shakespeare, but we\u2019re watching a lot of stuff and we\u2019re reading. We continue to read stuff. I continue to read. I\u2019m trying to touch into my work on a daily basis, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Kyra also admits that no matter where they are her husband always makes her feel special.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how he does it, but he always makes me feel like I\u2019m the most beautiful woman in the room \u2013 the only girl in the room,\u201d Kyra told People.<\/p>\n
She also credits their incredible spark in the bedroom.<\/p>\n
\u201cS\/e\/x is really important. That desire is there,\u201d Sedgwick shared with Redbook in 2012.<\/p>\n
Bacon gave this advice on how to stay married in a 2015 interview published in Entertainment Weekly. : \u201cWhatever you do, don\u2019t listen to celebrities on advice on how to stay married.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for his wife, Sedgwick told Good Housekeeping in 2012 what she loves about her adoring husband.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is so honorable. He is so ethically true. He has high moral standards, and he doesn\u2019t lie and he doesn\u2019t cheat\u2014and I find that sexy!\u201d she said. \u201cI am constantly in awe of Kevin\u2019s levelheadedness and his lack of \u2018crazy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
