Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick recently marked a special milestone, celebrating their son Travis Bacon’s 36th birthday on June 23rd. The longtime Hollywood couple took to Instagram to share heartfelt tributes and rare photos in honor of their elder child’s big day.
Both proud parents posted a series of images offering glimpses into Travis’s life. Kevin Bacon, 66, shared a carousel that included a sweet photo of Travis smiling in front of a slice of birthday cake with a candle ready to be blown out. Other snaps featured the Footloose actor and his wife alongside the birthday boy, including one appearing to be on a set, and a humorous image of Travis with an axe. Captioning his post, Kevin wrote tenderly, “Happy birthday TSB! Boy I love my Boy.”
Kyra Sedgwick, 59, also posted her own collection of photos. Her tribute included a solo shot of Travis, a recent picture of the two of them together, and a nostalgic throwback photo featuring a much younger Travis and their daughter Sosie. Addressing her son’s Instagram handle, Kyra captioned her post, “Happy birthday to my baby boy @svrtcntraclt ❤️.”
Travis, a musician and composer, responded to his dad’s public message simply with, “Thanks Dad!”
Meet the Bacon-Sedgwick Kids
Travis Bacon is the elder of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s two children. The couple also shares daughter Sosie Bacon, 33, who is an actress. Both children grew up around movie sets, and their parents have often expressed pride in their accomplishments. Kevin previously called Travis the “hardest rocking guy,” while Kyra shared she was “disgustingly proud” of him, adding in a past interview that she sees his drive and ambition mirroring her and Kevin’s own early careers.
While Travis and Sosie often maintain a lower public profile compared to their famous parents, the family does occasionally make appearances together.
Travis’s World: Music, Family, and More
Travis Bacon is the frontman for the industrial metal band CONTRACULT Collective and is also a composer. He has notably composed music for several projects involving his parents, scoring his mother Kyra’s 2022 feature film Space Oddity and his father Kevin’s upcoming TV series The Bondsman. Beyond music composition, Travis is also a co-founder of the horror production company Slashtag Cinema.
Known for his distinctive style, Travis is often pictured with his tatted appearance, long hair, and wearing black ensembles. He reportedly celebrated his 36th birthday in Austin, Texas, with his girlfriend, burlesque performer Angelina Sambrotto, who is also known by her stage name, ‘Battyna Sin’. Angelina shared that she traveled to Austin to surprise him for his birthday.
Adding another layer to his public persona, Travis recently shared a shirtless photo showcasing his ripped physique and numerous tattoos, including a striking masked skull design. Posted from Texas next to a hearse, the photo was captioned “This is 36.” On his Instagram Stories, Travis thanked well-wishers and suggested donations to various social causes listed in his bio, highlighting his support for aid in Gaza, immigration lawyers, and shelters for the unhoused in Los Angeles.
Sister Sosie has also shared public affection for her brother, affectionately calling him her “angel gentle giant talented and handsome (handsomer than Travis Kelce) brother” in a past birthday tribute, celebrating shared habits like watching “sex and the city” and eating with similarly large bites.
Rare Family Outings
While they maintain busy individual careers, the Bacon-Sedgwick family unit has made a few notable public appearances together recently, underscoring their close bond.
Last December, the entire family — Kevin, Kyra, Travis, and Sosie, along with Travis’s partner Angelina Sambrotto — stepped out for the Hollywood premiere of the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet. Kevin and Kyra coordinated in classic all-black looks, while Travis and Sosie showcased their personal styles, with Sosie in a vibrant dress and Travis in a black suit complementing Angelina’s striking latex dress.
The previous June (2024), Sosie and Travis also joined their parents at the Los Angeles premiere of MaXXXine. While the kids opted for more casual looks (Sosie sporting a Rocky Horror Picture Show-inspired sweater dress, Travis in pants and a long-sleeve shirt), Kevin and Kyra embraced bolder fashion choices, with Kyra in a leather mini-dress and Kevin sporting a “Miami Vice” aesthetic terracotta suit.
Looking ahead, the family is set to collaborate professionally in a meta horror comedy titled Family Movie, where all four members are expected to co-star.
The Enduring Partnership of Kevin & Kyra
At the heart of this family is the enduring 36-year marriage of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. The couple, who are famously ninth cousins once removed, first met in 1978 and reconnected in 1987 while co-starring in the PBS movie Lemon Sky, marrying the following year.
Their “family-first mentality” is a cornerstone of their relationship. Kevin shared that their 35th-anniversary celebration involved their children and their partners, describing the weekend as “absolutely sublime.”
The veteran actors recently starred and produced a film together, The Best You Can, premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. Working together again after two decades, Kevin commented on transferring their long-standing “life partnership” into their “scene partnership.” Kyra has also spoken about working with family, acknowledging “a little nepotism, but it’s always worth it” because of their talent and understanding of her creative vision. When asked for advice on a lasting marriage, Kyra famously quipped, “Secret is don’t take advice from celebrities about how to stay married.”
Through shared social media moments, public appearances, and professional collaborations, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick continue to showcase their strong family bond while celebrating the individual journeys of their children, Travis and Sosie.
