Kevin Bacon’s story starts humbly—in 1976, he moved from Philadelphia to New York with little money and big dreams, renting a shared apartment for just $150 a month. His roommate was a classical pianist, whose music soothed the young actor late at night. On stage at the Circle in the Square Theater School, Kevin sought life experiences beyond conventional success.
Now, Kevin and his wife Kyra Sedgwick live peacefully on a 40-acre farm in Connecticut, caring for animals like goats, pigs, and alpacas. He revels in the calm that animals bring and the satisfaction of harvesting fresh vegetables from their garden.
Looking back, Kevin credits his former roommate’s frugal cooking for inspiring him to learn how to prepare simple meals—a far cry from his previous reliance on convenience food.
The couple’s farm life often features in Kyra’s viral TikTok videos featuring their goats, a joyful distraction from their celebrity lives. Kevin has even changed his diet, avoiding meat from their own animals, with Kyra joking that she has to limit their farm family to keep him eating normally.
Kevin joins a growing trend of stars like Jennifer Garner, who trade city life for farming, embracing the slower pace and deeper connection to the earth.
