For Kevin Bacon, one of the secrets behind his lasting marriage is finding someone who truly understands his Hollywood career.

“Kyra [Sedgwick] and I believe in each other as actors, as directors and as a talent,” the actor told People magazine on Monday. “She doesn’t have a competitive bone in her body when it comes to me. She takes my successes as hers. I’m the same way.”

The 62-year-old married the 54-year-old actress in 1988. Together, they share a 28-year-old daughter, Sosie, as well as a 31-year-old son, Travis.

Bacon said he and the fellow star had no qualms accustoming to their new routine while quarantining during the last few months amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“We do, we clean, we decide what we’re having for the next meal, and then we cook it, clean it and decide what we’re having for the next meal,” he chuckled.
