He was only 12 when he saw him out of a small theater with a sandwich in his hand.
She couldn't imagine that boy would become her husband.
It was 1978.
Kyra Sedgwick was waiting out of an off-Broadway theater in New York after a show when he crossed a young 19-year-old actor.
His name was Kevin Bacon.
She wasn't a star yet.
They exchanged a few words and each went on his own way.
It seemed like one of those meetings destined to be forgotten.
It was just the beginning.
Almost ten years passed.
They both built their careers in the film world, until they found themselves on the film set *Lemon Sky* in 1987.
This time Kevin was immediately hit by Kyra.
But she wasn't as convinced.
Years later, he would have told that he was not sure he was the right man.
Kevin did not try to conquer it with spectacular gestures.
He simply chose to be himself.
With patience, sincerity and kindness.
That friendship slowly turned into something deeper.
In 1988 they decided to marry.
In many people they thought it would be one of the many marriages destined to last little, as often happens in Hollywood.
That happens exactly the opposite.
Year after year they continued to choose.
Together they built a family, raised their two sons, Travis and Sosie, facing successes, professional commitments and difficult moments without losing what had joined them from the beginning.
Kevin has told several times that one of the things he loves most is still able to make his wife laugh.
Kyra, on the other hand, says that the secret of their relationship is never to stop talking like two best friends.
They both share the same idea.
Love doesn't mean finding a perfect person.
It means choosing the same person every day.
Today, after more than thirty years of marriage, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick continue to represent one of the most solid and beloved couples in Hollywood.
And everything started with a meeting lasted a few minutes in front of a small theater in New York.
Sometimes the most important stories of our lives begin when we still do not know how to live them.
