Ah, the sweet aroma of love, especially one thatโs stood the test of Hollywood and time!
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are giving us all some serious relationship goals as they celebrate 35 years of marriage.
This week, Bacon, who is 65, took to the Gramโyes, thatโs Instagram for the uninitiatedโto share an irresistibly cute throwback photo of the two of them.
In this lovely snapshot, heโs seen giving his 58-year-old wife a heartfelt kiss on her head as she smiles radiantly at the camera.
Bacon couldnโt have summed up the essence of long-lasting love better when he captioned the photo, โ35 years feels like a heartbeat. #Anniversary.โ
Time really does fly when youโre madly in love, and Baconโs simple yet eloquent words attest to that.
But hold on, it wasnโt just everyday fans like us who gushed over this mega dose of cuteness; the coupleโs celebrity friends couldnโt resist joining in.
Rita Wilson, another Hollywood fixture in a long-lasting marriage, was quick to congratulate the couple.
She enthusiastically commented, โYou guys! Happy Anniversary! Can you believe it? It goes so fast! We are 35 soon to be 36!โ
Wilsonโs excitement was palpable, reminding us that love and commitment are celebrated in all circles.
Kyra Sedgwick also brought out the nostalgia card.
She posted her own throwback photo, capturing the days of young love.
The caption read, โIt was 1987โon the set of โLemon SkyโโI met a man named Kevin. Happy 35 my love.โ
Ah, the magical beginnings of a romance thatโs flourished through decades.
If youโre thinking, โHow did this love story unfold?โ letโs hop into the time machine.
The duo first met while working together on a PBS movie titled โLemon Skyโ in 1987.
They didnโt waste much time figuring out they were each otherโs missing puzzle piece, getting engaged within that same whirlwind year.
They officially became Mr. and Mrs. Bacon on September 4, 1988, and later welcomed two children, Travis, now 34, and Sosie, 31, into their love nest.
But what was it that made Kevin Bacon absolutely smitten the first time he laid eyes on Kyra Sedgwick?
In a candid interview with PEOPLE, he shared, โI was knocked out. I thought she was amazing.โ
And while Sedgwick might not have been instantly swept off her feet, she didnโt take long to recognize what she had found in Bacon.
Reflecting on her own โlightbulb moment,โ Sedgwick told PEOPLE, โI remember waking up and going, โI feel like home.โ
I realized, โOh, that was him.'โ
Itโs like a movie script, isnโt it?
Two people realize theyโve found their home in each otherโa home where love, laughter, and memories abound.
As if being life partners wasnโt fulfilling enough, these two have successfully collaborated professionally as well.
Most recently, Sedgwick sat in the directorโs chair for a film called โSpace Oddity,โ where Bacon showcased his acting chops.
What keeps their bond so unbreakable?
According to Sedgwick, itโs a hearty dose of humor.
โA sense of humor is crucial,โ she stated, a sentiment Bacon strongly echoed.
He added, โTo me, walking down the street together just shooting the sโ in the middle of the night still feels like a nice place to be.โ
But Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick arenโt just sitting back and enjoying their Hollywood love story.
Theyโre also passionate advocates for change.
This dynamic pair was spotted walking the picket lines in New York City in support of the recent Hollywood actorsโ strike.
Bacon made his stance clear when he posted a video on Instagram, captioning it, โWalking the line in solidarity with my fellow SAG-AFTRA members #SAGAFTRAstrike #SAGAFTRAstrong.โ
Clearly, whether itโs in love, in work, or on the front lines of activism, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are the ultimate power couple we all need to be taking notes from.
