When actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick met for the first time, she was a shy 12-year-old fan, and he was 19 having just wrapped up a major play.

"A little girl was in there who had just seen the matinee, and her brother said, 'You liked that actor, go tell him you liked him,' and it was Kyra," Bacon recalled onThe Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2014.

Their brief and fleeting encounter wouldn't mean much until they met again about a decade later in 1987, where they both worked on the filmLemon Sky.

Now, after two children and a 35-year-marriage that has defied the clutches of Hollywood fame, the pair are still as in love as ever.

Let's take a look back at their relationship, shall we?

How did Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick meet?

In 1987, the pair worked on the filmLemon Skytogether.

"I was knocked out," Bacon told People in a new interview. "I thought she was amazing."

But despite Sedwick's former fondness of his work, she wasn't too much of a fan of him on set.

"I found her, you know, really very beautiful and sexy and aloof," Bacon said during an interview with Piers Morgan in 2014. "And I was just immediately in love with her and she was just immediately put off by me."

In Sedgwick's own words, she recalled him being "cocky" after watching him board a van to their movie set, later admitting she was initially put off by his appearance and demeanour.

"He definitely wasn’t my type. In fact, I vividly remember looking at his butt when he walked away after we first met and thinking, 'Well, I guess some girls like that,'" she told Redbook in 2008.

Despite Sedgwick's disinterest, Bacon would not be deterred.

"He was very friendly and sweet and every night after work he would say, ‘Who wants to go out to dinner?' And the whole cast would say yes except for me," she told Conan O'Brien in 2012. "And later on he told me that the only person he wanted to say yes was me and I never said yes and he was always stuck with the check, poor guy."

Even then - in spite of the actor's coldness towards her co-star - their relationship began to take a turn for the better, all thanks to a cheesy pick up line.

While filming an oil scene forLemon Sky,Sedwick explained: "He said to me, 'You know you're really tight. Have you ever had a massage?' Worst line ever.

"He said, 'You should make an appointment to go see her, and you know, it just so happens the massage room is in the gym and if I happen to be finished with my workout when you're finished with your massage, maybe we can get dinner?' And I'm thinking, 'Yeah, sure, that's not going to happen. I'm not going to tell him when my massage is.'"

That weekend, Sedgwick stumbled out of a spa at the exact hotel while Bacon had just been finishing a workout - a planned moment she hadn't been aware of until her now-husband informed her he'd rung ahead and asked for the exact time of her massage.

"I completely bought it. I thought it was just a coincidence," she admitted.

When the pair eventually went out to dinner, they spoke and laughed for hours.

The next day, Sedgwick remembers "waking up and going, 'I feel like home,'" she toldPeople."I realised, 'Oh, that was him.'"

From there, their whirlwind romance begun and by Christmas Eve of that same year, the pair were engaged.

"I had no great role models in terms of healthy marriages," Sedgwick shared withGood Housekeeping.Her own parents - a father who was a venture capitalist and a mother who was a teacher - split when she was just three-years-old.

"But I knew in my heart and soul that he was the right person. It was an unquestionable truth of mine. I've never had anything like that before or after."

Despite their whirlwind romance, Bacon did recall one moment where he "talked her off the ledge" after Sedgwick anxiously admitted she hated her engagement ring.

"'It's all right, it's all right, honey—we'll go back. I don't care—we'll take it back,'" he recalled during an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Their quick progression into a relationship, marriage and kids was a marvel for even Sedgwick, who recalls that her younger days were filled with naivete.

"If someone had told me that at 22 I was going to meet the man I was going to marry and at 23 I would marry him and have a child, I would have told them they were out of their mind," she said to Redbook .

Just two weeks after tying the knot, the couple were pregnant with their first child, Travis.

In June 1989, they welcomed their oldest son (Travis) and by March 1992; they had their daughter Sosie and settled into family life while attempting to juggle their high-profile careers.

"The minute I had a child I was like, 'God, I want to make sure there’s a good place here for him,'" Sedgwick toldGlamourin 2019. "[Kevin and I] are both people who are spurred into action, and we like to be part of giving back. It's our responsibility."
