'But if you asked me on a deeper level, I would say (Kevin) Bacon is the love of my life, my only one, happy birthday!'

The inseparable couple - who happen to be ninth cousins once removed - originally met on the 1988 set of PBS' Lemon Sky, and they'll impressively celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary on September 4.

Back in January, Kevin and Kyra - who enjoy serenading livestock on their 40-acre farm in Sharon, CT - co-produced and co-starred in their first film in 20 years, Michael J. Weithorn's Brooklyn-set drama Connescence.

Bacon and Sedgewick are proud parents of 35-year-old son Travis Bacon (who heads up the band CONTRACULT collective) and 32-year-old daughter Sosie Bacon (who headed up the 2022 film Smile).

The Emmy nominee also received birthday greetings in the comments from his celeb pals Amber Valletta, Questlove, Shawn Ashmore, Kate Bosworth, Heather Dubrow, Amy Sedaris, Debi Mazar, Apollonia Kotero, and Beth Grant.

Kevin currently plays private detective John Labat following former porn star Maxine Minx (Mia Goth) in Ti West's 1985-set Hollywood horror slasher three-quel MaXXXine, which has earned $7.8M at the box office since hitting US/UK theaters last Friday.

Bacon also currently plays the corrupt Captain Cade Grant opposite Eddie Murphy's Detective Axel Foley in Mark Molloy's $150M-budget four-quel comedy Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which started streaming last Wednesday on Netflix.

The Philly native just signed on to portray Julianne Moore's onscreen husband Peter Kell, a joint-smoking outdoorsman who comes from old money, in Molly Smith Metzler's eight-episode limited dark comedy series Sirens streaming on Netflix in 2025.

Kevin will also produce and star as resurrected bounty hunter Hub Halloran, whose job now has a demonic element, in Grainger David's eight-episode action horror The Bondsman premiering next year on Amazon Prime Video.

Bacon and his big brother Michael Bacon are next scheduled to bring their band the Bacon Brothers to the Lynn Memorial Auditorium in Lynn, MA this Saturday.
