Kevin Bacon Shares Kyra Sedgwick’s Curly Short Hair Throwback for 59th Birthday

It is an extra special, celebratory week for Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon.

On Monday, August 19, the The Summer I Turned Pretty actress marked her 59th trip around the sun, receiving an affectionate tribute from her husband in her honor.

The couple, who split their time between their apartment in New York City and a farm in Connecticut, are gearing up to celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary next month. They share two children: Travis, 35, and Sosie, 33.

Kyra took to Instagram on Monday to commemorate her special day with a series of heartfelt photos. The collection started with a picture of her sitting in a flower-filled garden, followed by two throwback photos—one from her babyhood and another from her teen years—and concluded with a contemporary snap of her holding a Dyson vacuum.

“Another trip around the sun!” Kyra wrote in her caption, adding with humor: “Happy to have learned that I can vacuum ’til the cows come home and that the amount of eyeliner you wear at 16 is too much.”

Fans quickly flooded the comments section with birthday wishes. “Happy birthday Kyra! Enjoy this exceptional day,” one fan wrote. Several others chimed in with messages like: “Great pics!! Happy Birthday!!” and: “Happy Birthday!!! The best for this new year of life.”

Alongside the public messages, Kyra also received a special tribute from her husband. Kevin shared a nostalgic photo of a young Kyra with short curly hair and missing front teeth, followed by a video of a sweet note she left for him on top of the coffee grinder. The note read “Love you sooooo,” a reminder of Kyra knowing Kevin’s “first stop” every morning.

“Happy birthday @kyrasedgwickofficial. I love you sooooo!” he captioned the post.

During a recent appearance on the Today Show, Kyra reflected on maintaining a long-lasting marriage in Hollywood. Host Hoda Kotb noted that despite their decades-long careers, they don’t “feel like a Hollywood couple.”

“I don’t know, I just… I was raised in New York, he was raised in [Philadelphia], you know, we brought our kids up in New York,” she explained. She emphasized: “It’s what we do, it’s not who we are… I think we’ve always just had the same priorities, which was like, keep your feet on the ground.”

Regarding their work lives, she added: “It’s not like it’s been easy, longevity is hard, you have to keep on working on trying to get a job, so there’s no fantasy of like ‘Life is so easy and Hollywood is so easy and movies are so easy.'”

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon continue to be one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, showing that genuine love and shared values can stand the test of time.
