Kevin Bacon And Kyra Sedgwick's Anniversary Post Hits All The Right Notes

The couple just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. 🎉

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick just hit an impressive relationship milestone: 30 years of marriage.

And by all accounts, these two are still very much in love. To celebrate their anniversary, the two, who tied the knot on Sept. 4, 1988, serenaded each other with an acoustic rendition of “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees. Bacon posted a video of the moment on Instagram, writing, “30 years with this amazing woman. She is the music in my life.”

Over on Sedgwick’s account, the actress shared a photo of her cuddling up to her husband with the caption: “30 years (yesterday). Lucky Lady.”

The pair first met on the set of the 1988 TV movie “Lemon Sky,” though their paths apparently crossed years earlier when a 12-year-old Sedgwick ran into a 19-year-old Bacon at a deli after seeing him perform in a play. They have two kids together: Travis, 29, and Sosie, 26, who plays Skye on the Netflix show “13 Reasons Why.”

Both Bacon and Sedgwick have said in interviews that you shouldn’t take relationship advice from celebrities ― fair enough! ― but when these two are talking about their marriage, we’re listening. 

In a 2012 interview with Redbook, “The Closer” actress revealed that their sex life is an important part of their relationship. And even after all these years, they’re still very much attracted to each other. 

“When he walks into a room, I’m still ― I mean, my heart gets a little fluttery and I think, ‘Oh! He’s so cute. He’s so hot.’ That’s literally the first thing I think,” Sedgwick told Redbook. “You can ask people on the set — it’s palpable. He’s still a mystery to me. And getting older together is scary and exciting.”

Sure, they’ve had their ups and downs over the years, like any couple. But for the most part, Bacon and Sedgwick just genuinely enjoy each other’s company

“Being with Kyra is so natural for me,” Bacon previously told Good Housekeeping. “It’s the easiest aspect of my life. I know that I don’t need a beach or room service to be happy.”

On their wedding anniversary last year, Bacon shared this hilarious text exchange between him and Sedgwick that pretty much sums up what love looks like after almost 30 years together: 

Wishing these two lovebirds many more happy years together.

Grandparents' Best Marriage Advice
1. Keep up the PDA (01 of15)
Open Image Modal
"I've never seen a photo of my grandparents where they weren't embracing -- whether it was when they were dating, had five kids under age 8, or just before my grandfather died of cancer. I couldn't wait to grow up and have what they had with someone. They were a real life fairy tale." - Cari Watts-Savage (credit:Courtesy of Cari Watts-Savage )
2. You don't have to agree on everything(02 of15)

Open Image Modal
"I asked my grandma why she married my grandpa who she only dated for one year when she was 18 and he was 31. She answered me, 'Why not? He was hot back then!' My grandparents weren't the lovey-dovey type and actually distant, I think, due to the 13-year age gap. But they didn't bail, they're faithful, they kept each other for better or worse, in sickness and health, through thick and thin." - Tze Tonn Ng (credit:Courtesy of Tze Tonn Ng)

"My grandparents very much conformed to regular gender roles my entire childhood, but when my grandmom got sick, it was amazing to see my granddad taking care of her and cooking and cleaning.

"You might not get things right the first time, but you can't give up because it could be the second time that you find true happiness.
