Kyra Sedgwick Reacts to Learning She's Cousins with Husband Kevin Bacon

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, who married in 1988 and have two kids together, found out they were distant cousins during an episode of PBS’ Finding Your Roots that aired a few years back.

“I figured I was going to be related to Kevin Bacon – I mean, most white people are related, ultimately,” the 51-year-old actress said while doing press for her new ABC drama Ten Days in the Valley this weekend.

“I wasn’t surprised, honestly,” Kyra added. “Frankly, I figured that was part the reason that they wanted to do both of us. I had to act surprised.”

Kyra‘s new ABC show premieres on Sunday, October 1, 10/9c.
