Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are one of the rare Hollywood couples who have gone the distance; a whopping 36 years, in fact!
The loved-up pair celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary on Wednesday via a cute Instagram post that showed them sweetly singing "Jackson" by Johnny Cash and June Carter.
The video began with Kyra applying makeup in the mirror and Kevin bursting through the door with a guitar in hand, starting off the duet with his wife and switching up the original lyrics to sing, "I like relaxing/my favorite thing to do/I like relaxing/when I relax with you."
Kyra swiftly joined in, singing along, "We like relaxing/hope you're relaxing too."
The pair sweetly leaned in for a kiss at the end of the video, wishing each other a happy anniversary.
"36 years with my love @kyrasedgwickofficial. Here's to forever of relaxin' with you," Kevin captioned the video.

The sentiment towards the couple was clearly one of happiness and good wishes; after all, it's not often that an A-list couple reaches this milestone!
Just two hours later, the couple again posted a sweet video featuring throwback pictures of the two, set to the tune of Paramore's 'Still Into You'. The post has garnered over 250,000 likes and showcases their decades-long love story as they slow dance, sing, and pose for the camera.
"Quite possibly my favorite Hollywood couple. I love y'all together", a well-wisher wrote.
Kevin and Kyra met in 1997 on the set of their film Lemon Sky; Kevin was instantly smitten with the actress, while Kyra was unsure of him to begin with.
The 59-year-old revealed on Conan that Kevin attempted to arrange a date with her by inviting the entire cast to dinner, and when Kyra didn't show up, he had to get creative.

The Closer actress told Vulture in 2019 that she had always known Kevin was the one for her. "When I did fall in love with Kevin, it really just felt like there was some urgency to get married, and I don't know what it was. Suddenly, this thing came over me."
"He was just the one, you know? He was just the soul mate; he was just the one."

"I guess if I had to think too much about [our marriage], that would probably not be a good thing. We just got lucky. I honestly believe that's truth."
The pair share two children: Sosie, 32, and Travis, 35. Sosie is a successful actress with roles in Mare of Easttown and Smile; Travis is a producer, composer and musician, fronting the band Contracult Collective.
