Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Celebrate 37th Wedding Anniversary with Throwback Photo
Actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are celebrating 37 years of marriage, as of today, sharing a nostalgic photo from early in their relationship that highlights how much they’ve changed over the decades.
Bacon posted the image to Instagram on October 20, 2025, showing the couple affectionately embracing, likely taken around 1990. The caption read, “37 years feels like a heartbeat.” The pair first met in 1987 while working on a PBS adaptation of “Lemon Sky” and married in 1988. Their enduring relationship is notable in an industry often marked by high-profile splits.
Sedgwick previously recounted a humorous story about Bacon’s initial pursuit, revealing his persistence even when she wasn’t immediately receptive. “Years later, he told me he had actually called downstairs and I was getting massaged, which is kind of creepy, but whatever,” she joked during an appearance on “Conan.” Despite her initial reluctance, the couple forged a lasting bond. They have navigated both professional successes – including Emmy nominations and wins – and personal challenges, such as financial losses stemming from the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, together.
Fans flooded the post with messages of support, commenting on the couple’s enduring love and youthful appearances in the throwback photo. Sedgwick herself has stated their success is simply a matter of luck, telling People, “We just got lucky. I honestly believe that’s truth.” Their continued partnership serves as an example of longevity in Hollywood, a topic often discussed in The Hollywood Reporter.
The couple is expected to continue their work in film and television, with no immediate plans to publicly address the anniversary further.
