People Mentioned in This Biography

Marriage to Kyra Sedgwick

In 1988, Kevin Bacon married actress Kyra Sedgwick. The couple first met on the set of the television play Lemon Sky. At the time, Bacon was in a transitional phase of his career, and he has often credited his personal life—particularly the birth of their children—with contributing to a renewed sense of direction and purpose in his professional life. The couple has since shared the screen in several projects.

Personal Life and Lasting Partnership

Kevin and Kyra have been married for over three decades and are often seen together in public, working out or spending time on vacations, including a recent trip to Hawaii. Bacon has described their marriage as the best decision he ever made. He once shared an anecdote about first meeting Sedgwick when she was 12 and he was 19; she approached him, encouraged by her brother, to say he was her favorite actor. They did not begin dating until years later, when they worked together in their 20s on Lemon Sky.
