He expressed to People: “Kyra and I believe in each other as actors, as directors and as talent. She’s never been anything other than supportive of me. She doesn’t have a competitive bone in her body when it comes to me. She takes my successes as hers. I’m the same way.”

The duo first met in 1977 when Kyra attended Kevin’s Off-Broadway play and congratulated him afterwards. The pair reconnected in 1987 while they shot Lemon Sky together.
Sparks flew and Kevin romantically proposed on Christmas Eve that same year, as Kevin charmingly put the engagement ring in Kyra’s stocking.
They tied the knot the following year and the two welcomed Travis Bacon into the world in 1989 and their daughter Sosie Bacon in 1992.
