Beloved actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra\u00a0Sedgwick have been happily married since 1988, just one year after they first met. During their decades together, Bacon and Sedgwick\u00a0had two kids<\/a>, became Emmy nominees in the same year (with Sedgwick eventually becoming a winner), and were both victims of Bernie Madoff’s infamous Ponzi scheme. The celebrity couple has aged well together, and a throwback Instagram<\/a> post celebrating their 35th anniversary showcases just how different the two iconic performers once looked.<\/p>\n On September 4, 2023, Bacon shared a photo depicting himself and Sedgwick canoodling while sitting on what appears to be a dining room table. The photo is captioned, “35 years feels like a heartbeat. #Anniversary,” indicating that the photo may have been snapped around 1990. Bacon and Sedgwick first became an item after appearing together in a PBS adaptation of the play “Lemon Sky” in 1987, meaning they had likely been dating for around three years in the Instagram photo.<\/p>\n While appearing as a guest on “Conan<\/a>,” Sedgwick discussed how she wasn’t initially that interested in Bacon.\u00a0According to “The Closer” star, Bacon wanted to take the whole cast out, but she declined. Bacon then went to extreme lengths<\/a>, including lining up the times so that\u00a0his workout and her massage at their shared hotel occurred at the same time so that they could meet, but Sedgwick still wasn’t interested. “Years later, he told me he had actually called downstairs and I was getting massaged, which is kind of creepy, but whatever,” Sedgwick joked about her eventual husband, whom she fell madly in love with.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Bacon and Sedgwick’s romance persists no matter what they look like<\/p>\n

The two look extremely in love in the photo, showcasing how long their bond had lasted. Social media users were quick to share kind words about the photo, with one person commenting<\/a>, “To have such love… a true blessing.”\u00a0Another fan replied<\/a>, “Y’all are babies in this pic,” indicating how noticeably different the long-term couple look in this particular photo.\u00a0<\/p>\n At the time the previously mentioned picture was taken, Bacon was likely just over 30 years old, and it’s probable that Sedgwick was around 25 years old. Bacon has become more rugged with age, yet in the photo, the “Hollow Man” actor has a smooth baby face. Sedgwick has aged gracefully, but she has a particularly youthful glow in the image; you’d be forgiven for thinking she was a teenager at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n After being together for many decades, Sedgwick and Bacon acknowledge how fortunate they feel to have found each other, and Bacon thinks their marriage changed him for the better<\/a>. “We just got lucky. I honestly believe that’s truth,” Sedgwick once said about her marriage, according to\u00a0People<\/a>. Ultimately, no matter how different the pair may look now, their deep love for one another has stayed the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
