[@carolflegal3156]

I met Kevin on my job at The Cloister at Sea Island. He was there filming X-Men First class. He was the nicest person. He talked about coming back with his wife. He would say "Kyra would love this".

[@Stoppedgetout]

Love them together, and even though they have money, they seem very much like a normal family should be. So they have every reason to be happy and proud of themselves.

[@Stoppedgetout]

Ever since Footloose of course! Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

[@jeannerosen9024]

They lost a lot of money to Bernie Madoff

[@gr8emama]

So humble.

[@quentinnancy]

Who doesn’t love and admire them? They are real, kind people - hard to find

[@lisamariealaniz7538]

[@terriboccio6963]

Two of my favorite people who have remained true to themselves. Bravo to you both for allowing us a little glimpse into your phenomenal life!

[@Nightflyer720]

One of the most enduring and enviable celebrity couples. To me, they represent everything a relationship and partnership should be. Both incredibly talented, classy, and humble. I’ve been a fan for decades, and I absolutely adore them both.

[@MoonDirectedTarot]

They really do complement each other.

That is what a man and a woman with self confidence, strong character, deep love and appreciation for each other will bring no matter what their walk in life. May God keep blessing you both! 🙏❤️

How beautiful is it to watch one look with so much respect and love as the other speaks? Soul mates for sure! Love them!

[@FERNANDOAMENDIVIL]

~ BLESSED COUPLE WHO RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. ~ Very rare in Hollywood.

[@eliser9776]

It's so sweet how they look at each other when the other is talking. This is the kind of partnership I always wanted.

[@bedetteb1111]

Secret….. don’t say what I always wanted….. try turning it around, and say I desire or wish to have a wonderful partner….. the angels are going to hear you.

[@mmcs4973]

There is something infinitely sane, down to earth, and normal about Kevin and Kyra and it's clear they love, respect, and support each other in their life and their work. It's lovely when the people you admire, whose work you always enjoy, don't disappoint. Kudos to them for keeping it real together, and for never allowing hubris a place in their life, and most importantly, for the closeness to their kids 🧡

[@eveningstar1]

Kevin actively listening to his wife is a turn on!

[@law-abiding8436]

They are inspirational! Gorgeous couple! They should feel proud of what they created. I just love them!

They look so loving with each other and in general ❤ Such an open and honest interview. They didn't need to share such personal stories with the world... thank you both! I'm grateful that you're in the world 🦋 Happy Easter to you and your family!

[@cottoncandisandi6109]

Kyra , actually still looks like Kyra !!! She was and still is gorgeous . These are two people who are comfortable in their own skin . I love that Kevin just kept chugging along . Didn't have to be a " star" . He just wanted to practice his craft .

[@eleanorryan2750]

These two beautiful people have to be my favourite couple. They seem so grounded. So happy, and real, no BS.... They love each other so much. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪 💚

What’s not to love? Truthfully one of the most likable couples ever. Hard to believe Kyras family is so wealthy and they have SO MUCH money but you would never know this. SO HUMBLE!!

Bernie Madoff robbed them big time.

Marriage takes a lot of work, flexibility, understanding and commitment. I think that’s what the two have done they’ve just stayed committed. There’s no throwing in the towel. ❤

Great couple. Loved Kevin Bacon in Mystic River , he never got the kudos he deserved on that one

[@jennifervasquez251]

I love their energy! They are amazing.

[@sarahwagner8809]

They are very cool as a couple and parents- well done.

[@Fiawordweaver]

That’s so funny to hear the single parent line. I was a single parent from the time my kids were 2 and 4 1/2, without a deadbeat father or family support. It was the best accomplishment of my life. I purposefully lived away from my toxic family. I’m happy for them. 🎉

[@renefadrny2160]

This is so sweet.. Kyra and Kevin are just made for each other.. she is incrdible women, which today.. you hardly can find...

[@denisehurst5854]

Congratulations to a beautiful couple and a loving long marriage. Keep up the good work because that's rare these days.

[@rhondasquires7770]

What a beautiful love story! It’s sooo refreshing to see people stick it out and not give up on love…💕they are so compatible and obviously meant for one another…Always loved Kevin Bacon, he’s just such a cool dude!

[@christinafitzsimmons7120]

So sweet. She looks amazing he's aging gracefully and she as well. Beautiful ❤️. I want to know how they didn't let Temptations get in the way. That is the biggest challenge with celebrities. And in any relationship really

[@samantarizzi248]

Never knew they have been together for that many years! They do have something to be proud of. Loyalty is a characteristic that should be proud provoking :) good for them ❤

[@anneann9127]

I love them both as actors and it's so nice that they have a close family and also give back to the community. I did kind of laugh at the living paycheck to paycheck comment. Like yeah, you guys are worth multi millions, not really a paycheck to paycheck kind of life . :)

[@LaLadybug2011]

It's all relative...if you make $2000 a month and your bills and groceries add up to $1890 a month, that's paycheck to paycheck. They have bills---that have to be paid. Their bills are much larger than ours and they need paychecks to cover that. They've worked their tails off and I don't begrudge them one penny. I could never do what they do---I need stability and they don't know when one project ends what will happen next. I admire anyone that lives that way. Gotta say-those kind of people seem pretty happy.

[@anneann9127]

@@LaLadybug2011Wow, really? No, it's not actually relative. If you make and have millions that you've made or inherited you do not have the same stress as someone that makes a normal living and has normal bills to pay. The fraise "paycheck to paycheck" means that after you get paid and pay bills you need the next paycheck before you can do it again. It's not even close to the same. She inherited around 16 million and they're worth around 45 million, how in Gods name is that the same as someone that makes 45,000 a year and has say two children. This is why people fight for a living wage. I do not begrudge them one penny and I love them, but to say paycheck to paycheck is just silly.

[@yemu-voixchanson1667]

Ah! This couple Needs to teach their fellow Hollywood mates about marriage... I mean they way Kevin looks at her after 35 years... 💜💜💜😍

A real connection, real couple

[@mamasaid12]

I love you guys! I've always appreciated that you were so down to earth and just had this really genuine love affair with each other. Goals! But I'm a serious note. If anyone in your camp is watching this and reading these comments, I would love to do a movie with the two of you. I think I have a script in mind. I'm just a lowly teacher but definitely would be open.

Wow...if one day I get married or end up in a stable relationship I'd really like to have a marriage like theirs.. they really want to be together. Relationships are hardwork but they are worth every second invested in them...the tricky thing is to find someone who want the same outcome. Not easy now a days.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

It’s still hard to see Kyra as anything but “Brenda Leigh Johnson”. 😂😂 And I Love ANYONE who can just “be who they are”, Love and respect each other completely, Oh Yeah…and they happen to be famous actors!

I have always admire Kevin and Kyra I think they are so cool married for 35 years and still act like if they just met, not too many mary couples do this in Hollywood, other couples in Hollywood should take notice of what marriage is all about ❤❤.
