Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Talks 35 Years of Love, Career and Collaborations

The Story of their Love

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have been together for over three decades, but they still look at each other with the kind of adoration that most couples only dream of. The couple has always been open about their relationship, frequently discussing it in interviews throughout their marriage.

Recently, they were interviewed by People magazine, in which they opened up about their love story. Kevin said that he knew he wanted to be with Kyra from the moment he saw her on set while filming the PBS movie Lemon Sky in 1987.

Kyra took some convincing before agreeing to go out on a date with Kevin. But after their first date, she woke up feeling like she was “home” and knew that he was the one for her.

Making each other laugh has been a key ingredient in their successful relationship. They both emphasize how important humor is in keeping their relationship strong. Through all the ups and downs of the last 35 years, Kevin and Kyra have remained each other’s biggest support and fans.

Career Collaborations

Kevin and Kyra have both had successful careers in the entertainment industry, with Kyra being an actress and now a director while Kevin started his career as an actor but expanded his career as a songwriter, singer, musician and producer.

The couple has also collaborated on several films together, including a recent feature that Kyra directed called Space Oddity. In this drama, a young man dreams of escaping to Mars after tragedy strikes. Through bitter-sweet moments accompanied by Kyle Allen’s music score, the couple was able to showcase their chemistry as actors.

In an interview with Deadline, Kyra mentioned that she enjoyed directing her husband and son Travis (who composed the music for Space Oddity) because it allowed her to tell a story with her family. She also said that being in charge of the storytelling and working with her family was both challenging and rewarding.

Future Plans & Quiet Moments

When they are not working, Kevin and Kyra enjoy spending their free time together, walking down the street holding hands, enjoying some quiet moments away from the frenetic energy of their careers.

Kyra says she loves directing and hopes to do more in the future. In the meantime, her focus is on promoting Space Oddity, which is in theaters and available on demand.

As they look toward the future and reflect on the past 35 years of their marriage, it’s clear that Kevin and Kyra’s love is stronger than ever. For them, it’s all about making each other laugh, supporting one another in their careers, and enjoying the quiet moments together.
