Hollywood power couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have long been admired not just for their decades-spanning careers, but for how they’ve handled fame—especially when it comes to parenting. In a recent interview, the couple opened up about their deliberate decision to keep their children, Travis and Sosie, away from the more surreal side of show business.
“We wanted our kids to grow up feeling normal, not like they were part of some Hollywood experiment,” Bacon explained. Sedgwick echoed the sentiment, noting how they prioritized privacy and stability over red carpets and flashbulbs.
Their strategy involved keeping family life grounded—no live-in help, no excessive entourages, and an emphasis on real-world values. While both children have since dabbled in entertainment, they’ve done so on their own terms, free of pressure.
Now, with empty-nester status and thriving careers, Bacon and Sedgwick reflect on that choice with pride. “Fame can be weird,” Bacon admitted. “But love, structure, and authenticity? That’s timeless.”
