Kevin Bacon Wows Fans With 'Vintage' Throwback From His Early Romance With Kyra Sedgwick

Kevin Bacon stunned fans as they saw evidence of exactly how long he and wife Kyra Sedgwick have been together. The actor shared a photo from the couple’s early days of romance on social media, and some couldn’t believe how young they were.

Bacon posted the throwback snap on his Instagram account on Feb. 5, captioning it, “A vintage selfie. #tbt @kyrasedgwickofficial.”

In the photo, a shirtless Bacon stood in a bathroom with one arm wrapped around Sedgwick as he took a photo in the mirror with an old camera. Sedgwick had the start of a smile on her face as she leaned into Bacon, wearing a tank top with her curly hair framing her face.

While the fact that the photo was taken with an actual camera was a testament to how long ago it was, the details of the vintage bathroom also hinted at the time period of the photo. Along with that, both Bacon and Sedgwick’s fresh faces reflected their young age at the time.

Bacon didn’t share exactly when the snap was taken, but the couple started dating all the way back in 1987, getting married the next year. They met on the set of their film, Lemon Sky, and have been together ever since.
