Kyra Sedgwick celebrated her husband’s birthday with a roasted bird and buckwheat cake after comparing her marriage to a traditional chicken meal.
Kevin Bacon, who turned 65 on July 8, chose to keep a low profile and celebrated in private with his wife and several animals that they keep at their charming Connecticut farmhouse.
The charming duo frequently records duets for Instagram and TikTok, with the farm animals acting as their dedicated audience. Scroll down to see video..
The Apollo 13 star and his wife Kyra Sedgwick, 57, split their time between properties in New York, Los Angeles, and Connecticut. In Connecticut, they have a sprawling farm that’s also home to pigs, goats, alpacas, and miniature ponies.
In May, Kevin posted a sweet video of him in the barn, strumming his guitar and singing “Creepin” by The Weeknd to his two pigs and two goats, who rally around him when he sits on the ground for a private performance.
“These guys would never creep on me,” the Crazy, Stupid Love actor writes in the caption.

Fans jumped in with praise like, “One can be cool, but not ‘Kevin Bacon singing to his farm animals cool.’” Other cyber users commented on one of the pig’s swinging tails and how it appeared he was enjoying the attention, “The one directly in front of you the tail has not stopped wagging. That is so cute.”
Kevin usually features the two black and gray pigs in his posts, and on the day of his birthday, he began with a video of him and Kyra parading around the grass with the barn in the background and the two piglets chasing after them.
“Walking into 65,” he titles the video that’s played to The Fugees, “Killing Me Softly.”
“That is the most Kevin Bacon walk if ever there was one,” one fan says of his walk, which is reminiscent of his Footloose performance. “I swear that is the quintessential Kevin Bacon walk! It has never changed and it has always been so Damm cool! Love to you both neither of you look a day over 45,” another adds.
The actor’s special day was also commemorated by several of his famous friends.
“The cutest couple ever! Happy birthday Kevin!” writes Courtney Cox, who played Monica in Friends, and The Addams Family star Christina Ricci writes, “Happy Birthday, National Treasure!!!!”
Later on same day, Bacon—who is set to act in the Netflix original movie Leave the World Behind—posted two pictures on Instagram, one of him enjoying a cake slice and the other showing off his roast chicken.
He writes, “Anyone who knows me, knows I’m not a fan of my birthday. My wife has made this a beautiful day. She has said recently our marriage is like roast chicken, so she made a perfect chicken for dinner followed by my favorite–buckwheat banana bread with chocolate icing. Perfect day.”
The comment was made by the couple’s 31-year-old daughter Sosie, who costarred alongside her mother in The Closer, “Our love is like a roast chicken–better crusted in salt.”
Some puzzled fans were looking for an explanation. “Maybe it is an inside joke, just for them to understand,” one writes while another said, “roast chicken is a simple, meal that leaves you feeling full.”
Early in the month of July 2023, Kyra compared marriage to a roast chicken. She claimed that although their relationship “sparks” occasionally, it is “always” just as good as the traditional dish.
“Sometimes there’s sparks and sometimes there’s just chicken.” Clarifying her poultry reference, Kyra added, “Sometimes it’s romantic and it’s like, ‘Oh, my god.’ And sometimes it’s chicken. Roast chicken. It’s always good and reliable.”
Most fans didn’t care about the chicken comment and instead just wanted to wish the adored actor a wonderful day.
“Happy Birthday! I just love seeing you and your wife doing videos together, I hope one day I can find love like that,” one writes, while another adds, “we are happy you were born!!! Thank you for your gift to us all of your film career.”
Happy birthday to Kevin Bacon! Echoing that last fan, we are so thankful that you were born, sharing your talented gifts with the world.
We look forward to seeing more videos from the farm, with the adorable animals co-starring, oftentimes stealing the show.
