It is an extra special, celebratory weekend for Kevin Bacon and his family.
On March 15, the Footloose actor and his wife Kyra Sedgwick celebrated their youngest daughter Sosie Bacon’s 33rd birthday.
The couple met when they starred together in a PBS version of Lanford Wilson’s play Lemon Sky in 1987, and they tied the knot on September 4, 1988. They are typically based between their apartment in New York City and their farm in Connecticut, and in addition to the Smile actress, they also share son Travis Bacon, 35.
In honor of Sosie’s special day, Kevin, Kyra and Travis all took to Instagram with individual birthday tributes honoring her.
Kyra shared two photos of the two of them, a throwback and another from when they attended the premiere of MAXXXINE last year, and wrote in her caption: “My favorite wing girl — at any age. Happy birthday @sosiebacon!”
Kevin meanwhile shared a sweet video montage featuring several candid clips of him and Sosie, and wrote: “Happy Birthday Ruthie. Keep laughing.”

Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the posts and wish Sosie a happy birthday — plus gush about the family — with one writing: “I love this family so much,” as others followed suit with: “Daddy can’t deny his daughter. She’s a split image of him,” and: “She is a beautiful combination of you both! Happiest of birthdays to your sweet Ruthie,” as well as: “You can feel the love through the screen.”

Speaking about her parenting approach, especially during the transition when kids become adults, Kyra shared at the time: “I have no secrets except that you try to figure it out one day at a time and hope that they still want to hang out with you.”

She explained: “I don’t think we planned it, I just think that we are similar in that way, like, ‘This is important this is less important,'” adding: “I really don’t think we ever thought something very differently about the way to parent the kids, but also to discipline them or not discipline them.”
