Fans of the couple quickly commented below the post with admiration for their successful, loving marriage and sent the pair good wishes. 

Some took the humorous route by calculating the exact minutes and seconds Bacon and Sedgwick have been together. In contrast, others expressed their admiration for the two lovebirds and their strong relationship.

The couple has, however, had their rough patches too. In 2008, Bacon and Sedgwick were victims of history's largest Ponzi scheme and were defrauded for all their savings. Sedgwick looked back at the ordeal in Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue's book, What Makes a Marriage Last. 

"We found out when the world found out," Sedgwick said, according to People.  

"We had both been working professionally — Kev since he was seventeen and me since I was fifteen — and it was our savings, all the money we had. My sister called me because she was invested in it too — our stepfather had suggested it — and she said, 'Are you sitting down?' It was all over the news, about five o'clock on a winter day, just before Christmas. It was a hard day."

Bacon and Sedgwick first met in the 70s, after Bacon played a role in a local play Sedgwick had watched with her brother. Bacon was 19 at the time, while she was only 12. 

"A little girl was in there who had just seen the matinee, and her brother said, 'You liked that actor, go tell him you liked him,' and it was Kyra," he said in 2014 when appearing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. "She was a little girl, yeah, she was 12 years old."

Although Sedgwick did not think he was her type at the time, he eventually grew on her.

Last year, the lovebirds spoke to Glamour magazine about their long-spanning relationship, explaining how they each support one another and their careers. 

"She's made a lot more sacrifices than I've made," Bacon admitted at the time. "Kyra felt really strongly that, when she started to have children, she needed to be there for them. In many cases, because of the kids, she would make decisions careerwise that weren't the best for her career. We kept staying in New York because we wanted to raise them in New York, but there was more work in Los Angeles."

While Sedgwick took the reigns first, her husband returned the favor when she made her big break on the award-winning show, Closer.

"Then when The Closer came along—I don't even look at this as a sacrifice—but the kids were still in high school or junior high and she had this opportunity to go out to California and to be a lead in a TV show. I said, "Listen, I'll stay with the kids." In this case, this was the first time in our lives I said, "I'll stay home, I won't take anything." Both of us knew that I said that, but in the back of my mind I was like, "I hope I don't get offered anything great." But for the most part, she's the one that did the sacrificing."
