Bacon said in an interview with PEOPLE in March that when he first met Sedgwick, he was really impressed and thought she was amazing. Sedgwick did not feel the same strong attraction right away as Bacon did. However, she realized that he was the right person for her the day after they had their first dinner date. Sedgwick remembers waking up and thinking about how comfortable she felt with Bacon. And that was the moment she felt “It’s him.”
Throughout the years, the couple has worked together creatively, with Sedgwick even directing Bacon in the movie “Space Oddity.” Sedgwick mentioned in March that one of the important things in their marriage is their ability to make each other laugh.
Bacon also said that he enjoys spending casual time with Sedgwick, like taking a walk together and chatting late at night. It still feels like a wonderful way to spend time together.
Bacon and Sedgwick expressed their backing for the ongoing strike by actors in Hollywood. They both joined a group of striking actors in New York City in July. This happened shortly after SAG-AFTRA started their strike on July 13.
