Kyra Sedgwick and husband Kevin Bacon stay curious about each other, even after decades together.

Sedgwick, 58, appeared on The View Monday, where the co-hosts asked her about working with her husband of more than 35 years and the funny videos the pair share on social media together.

"He literally made me wear his pants and his shirt and his Crocs for that," Sedgwick said, after The View played a video they posted in March, joking that they have started "to look alike."

At this point in their relationship, she said, "I think that you’ve heard every story — you only need to hear the first two words of a story and you're like, ’Oh, it’s that story.' But you laugh because, you know ... I do think that you have to, like, remain curious about each other, right? That’s important too."

Sedgwick and Bacon married in September 1988. They met on the set of their 1987 PBS movie Lemon Sky. The pair share two adult children: Travis, 34, and Sosie, 32.

During Sedgwick's interview on The View, she also dished on her upcoming movie with Bacon, Connescence, which will mark the first time the pair have appeared on the big screen together since 2004's Cavedweller and The Woodsman.

"I think the thing that you have to hide is the fact that you’ve known each other for 35 years,” she said, after cohost Sara Haines asked Sedgwick if being married in real life makes playing love interests easier. “You’re usually playing strangers who meet.”

“It’s a rom-com — it’s far from coming out so don’t go looking for it yet — and hopefully we’re good enough actors that you will believe us and buy into these characters," Sedgwick added. "And of course you will, because it’s not us at all.”
