From Surprising Family Ties to Quarantine Romance

Their story includes unexpected twists — including a discovery on Finding Your Roots that Kevin and Kyra are ninth cousins, once removed. While slightly unsettling, it hasn’t slowed their love. In fact, it’s grown stronger over the years.

During quarantine, the couple found new ways to connect, spending time reading, writing, and enjoying each other’s company at home in Los Angeles. Kyra admits Kevin always makes her feel like the most special woman in the room, and they credit their intimate connection and chemistry for keeping the spark alive.

Kevin’s advice for a lasting marriage? “Don’t listen to celebrities on advice about how to stay married.” Kyra adds that his honesty, integrity, and respect make him the partner she adores — and that consistent admiration and communication have kept their relationship thriving.

Today, Kevin and Kyra Bacon remain one of Hollywood’s most admired couples, proving that decades of love, partnership, and commitment are possible even in an industry known for fleeting romances.
