Kyra Sedgwick celebrated her husband, Kevin Bacon, on his special day, comparing their marriage to a classic poultry dish. To mark the occasion, she prepared a roasted bird and a buckwheat cake for him. Kevin Bacon, who turned 65 on July 8, opted for a low-key birthday celebration attended by his wife and their charming collection of animals at their picturesque Connecticut farmhouse.
Kevin Bacon, renowned for his role in Apollo 13, and his wife Kyra Sedgwick, aged 57, divide their time between properties in New York, Los Angeles, and Connecticut. In Connecticut, they enjoy the expanse of their farm, which is also home to a delightful assortment of pigs, goats, alpacas, and miniature ponies.
The couple often shares their harmonious duets on Instagram and TikTok, where they find an appreciative audience in their farm animals. In a heartwarming video posted in May, Kevin strummed his guitar and serenaded his two pigs and two goats with “Creepin” by The Weeknd. The animals gathered around him, creating an enchanting moment. Kevin captioned the video by saying, “These guys would never creep on me.” Fans responded with admiration, commenting on the pigs’ wagging tails and their apparent enjoyment of the musical performance.
The two black and gray pigs frequently steal the spotlight in Kevin’s posts. On his birthday, he started the day by sharing a video of himself and Kyra strolling through the grass, accompanied by the pigs joyfully racing alongside them. The caption read, “Walking into 65,” and the video played to the tune of “Killing Me Softly” by The Fugees. Fans praised Kevin’s characteristic walk, reminiscent of his iconic performance in Footloose. They also expressed their admiration for the couple’s youthful appearances.
Celebrity friends joined in celebrating Kevin on his special day. Courtney Cox, known for her role as Monica in Friends, gushed, “The cutest couple ever! Happy birthday Kevin!” Christina Ricci, star of The Addams Family, referred to Kevin as a “National Treasure” and sent her birthday wishes as well.
Later in the day, Bacon, who will be starring in the upcoming Netflix film Leave the World Behind, posted two photos. One showcased him holding a slice of cake, while the other displayed his roasted chicken. In the accompanying caption, he expressed his gratitude to his wife for making his day beautiful. Referring to Kyra’s previous comment about their marriage being like roast chicken, he wrote, “She made a perfect chicken for dinner followed by my favorite—buckwheat banana bread with chocolate icing. Perfect day.” Their daughter Sosie, who appeared alongside her mother in The Closer, chimed in with a playful comment, saying, “Our love is like a roast chicken—better crusted in salt.”
Although some fans were puzzled by the roast chicken analogy, most simply wanted to wish the beloved actor a very happy birthday. They expressed their appreciation for his and Kyra’s videos together and the joy they bring, while others thanked him for his remarkable contributions to the world of film.
