Hollywood power couple Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon have been married for almost four decades after they crossed paths during the production of PBS’ Lemon Sky in 1987, a year before their wedding. The couple has had a thriving marriage, and they’ve welcomed two children—Travis Sedgwick Bacon and Sosie Bacon, who also followed in her parents’ footsteps in the entertainment industry.
For Bacon, meeting Sedgwick was the best thing that happened to him, as he was at the lowest point of his life then, and Sedgwick became a ray of hope. “The time I was hitting what I considered to be bottom was also the time I met my wife; our kids were born, and good things were happening,” he said. “And I was able to keep supporting myself; that always gave me strength.”
