Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have spent nearly four decades proving that sometimes the sweetest love stories are the ones that simply keep going.<\/p>\n
The couple first met while working together on the 1987 television movie \u201cLemon Sky.\u201d Their relationship moved quickly, and they became engaged in December of that year before marrying on Sept. 4, 1988. They went on to welcome two children, Travis<\/a>, 37, and Sosie<\/a>, 34.<\/p>\n Sedgwick took a break from acting when her children were born but saw a resurgence of roles after they were older. Nowadays, she and Kevin appear to be enjoying a more chilled-out and rustic life on their Connecticut farm after the kids left the nest.<\/p>\n Sedgwick has previously said<\/a> that \u201ca sense of humor is crucial\u201d to their relationship, adding that her husband is \u201cvery freaking funny.\u201d She has also said the couple simply \u201cgot lucky\u201d in finding each other, while stressing the importance of having a sense of wholeness within yourself before allowing someone else to love you.<\/p>\n Their partnership has extended far beyond marriage, too. Earlier this year, the couple reunited professionally to co-direct \u201cFamily Movie<\/a>,\u201d nearly two decades after Bacon last directed a film. Their children joined them on the project, with Sosie and Travis starring alongside their parents.<\/p>\n For Bacon, having Sedgwick beside him behind the camera made the experience all the more enjoyable.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was just great because if I missed something or I slipped up or I forgot some detail, she was right there with it,\u201d he told<\/a> PEOPLE.<\/p>\n Sosie has similarly described both of her parents as respectful collaborators, saying they understand an actor\u2019s process because they are actors themselves. More than 20 years after she made her acting debut in her father\u2019s \u201cLoverboy<\/a>,\u201d the family was once again working together.<\/p>\n The longtime couple celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary this month with an idyllic canoeing trip, trading red carpets and Hollywood glamour for a quiet day on the water.<\/p>\n Sedgwick<\/a>, 61, shared two photos from the getaway on Instagram, showing herself and Bacon<\/a>, 68, relaxing together in a canoe on a scenic lake. Dressed casually in matching plaid overshirts, Sedgwick topped off her look with a baseball cap while Bacon wore sunglasses.<\/p>\n \u201cPerfect anniversary weekend. \u2764\ufe0f Canoe believe it\u2019s been 38 years?!\u201d Sedgwick wrote<\/a> in her caption.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bacon marked the occasion in his own characteristically simple way, sharing a throwback photo of the pair dressed up in the back of a car on their way to the 2006 Emmy Awards.<\/p>\n \u201c38 years with my love,\u201d he wrote<\/a> alongside the nostalgic snapshot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![](\"\/\/image-2.apost.com\/media\/articletranslation\/2026\/09\/16\/10\/a15e9c13ccb778ce5ed11a0cd0b83013_500x1.jpg\")
