Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s relationship lasted decades—32 years. But it was hardly love at first sight for Sedgwick. Sedgwick was unimpressed with Bacon after her first few meetings with him.
In a 2012 interview, Sedgwick told Piers Morgan that the second time she met Bacon, she felt he’s extremely cocky and he thinks he’s so great. But it was precisely the contrary with Bacon. He found her to be really incredibly gorgeous, sensual, and aloof, he stated on Morgan’s show. And he was instantly in love with her, and she was instantly turned off by him.
But Bacon was adamant. He’d invited the whole Lemon Sky cast (including Sedgwick) to join him for supper on a regular basis. He was polite and kind, and every night after work, he’d ask, ‘Who wants to go out to dinner?’ Except for her, the entire cast would say yes, In 2012, she was recalled by Conan O’Brien. He subsequently told her that the only individual he desired to say yes to was her, and she never said yes, so he was always left with the check.
However, the pair soon started dating and have been together for nearly three decades! They married in 1988 and now have 2 kids. Many people are frequently inquisitive about the key to their long-lasting romance, and the pair always insists it was pure chance. Relationships are such a mystery, the actress said in 2020 to PEOPLE. How come they work? Why don’t they work? It’s all a game of chance. But that’s the aha moment: No one has the answers, she added, adding that she and Bacon simply got fortunate. The secret to a successful marriage is not to receive marital counsel from celebrities, she quipped.
People say it’s a fairytale, but it’s life. They simply love one another a lot, Sedgwick explained to Redbook, adding, all have marital struggles—she doesn’t buy the ‘Oh, it’s so terrible, stars being married. Marriage is difficult for all, man. So, when they’re on the red carpet and people ask us, ‘How do you guys do it? No one can stay together,’ she became enraged. She doesn’t believe their relationship is any more or less challenging; She just believes both make the commitment and make it work.
The 55-year-old further said they were always aware that they were each other’s ‘one’. They both were aware that this was to be forever and that they were going to figure it out no matter what, so when they argue, it’s not that terrifying. One can’t be honest with someone if you believe they will go. Being intimate in the bedroom has also helped their long-term relationship. Sex is quite significant. That desire is there; in 2012, Sedgwick collaborated with Redbook. The essence of it hasn’t altered much. She is still surprised when he walks into a room her heart starts fluttering and she thought, Oh! He’s adorable. He’s unbelievably hot. That’s the first thing that comes to mind.
Not long ago, Bacon and his wife realized that they’ve been married for a really long time, and quarantine really was a fantastic sort of test for their marriage since they were extremely secluded. He guess after a while they recognized that they would kind of have to, even at their apartment, move away from each other, he confessed, saying, so they would have breakfast, then she’d essentially retire to the bedroom, which we dubbed the lair, and she spends a lot of time in her lair. Then we would meet for lunch in the kitchen. They’d go through the routines all day- cocktails, maybe supper, anything, he said. And then they’d get back together in the kitchen and repeat the process.
