Kevin Bacon and his wife moved to a farm after losing their fortune, now they\u2019re happier than everWhen we think about examples of strong, loving Hollywood couples,\u00a0Kevin Bacon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kyra Sedgwick<\/a> are one pair who spring to mind.<\/strong>The duo have been\u00a0married<\/a>\u00a0for over three decades, celebrating their 35th anniversary this year (they even posted a\u00a0sweet throwback photo<\/a> to social media).And despite both having lengthy careers in the entertainment industry, there was once a time when the pair were losing millions\u2026<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

Life as Bacon and Sedgwick knew it came crashing down in 2009 when their involvement in the now-infamous Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme (the largest known Ponzi scheme in history) cost them up to $30 million (according to an estimate by StyleCaster<\/a>)\u2013 as Bacon himself said last year on the\u00a0SmartLess podcast<\/a>, it was \u201cmost of our money\u201d.They were just two of many\u00a0celebrities<\/a> and high profile figures who were scammed after investing in Madoff\u2019s \u201ctoo good to be true\u201d financial schemes.\"\"WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA \u2013 NOVEMBER 15: Kyra Sedgwick (L) and Kevin Bacon at Moet Celebrates The 75th Anniversary of The Golden Globes Award Season at Catch LA on November 15, 2017 in West Hollywood, California.

You know, if something is too good to be true, it\u2019s too good to be true,\u201d Bacon told hosts\u00a0Jason Bateman<\/a>, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes. \u201cWhen something like that happens, you know, you look at each other, then you go, \u2018Well, that sucks. Let\u2019s roll up our sleeves and get to work,\u2019 you know?\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Despite the setback, 65-year-old Bacon and 58-year-old Sedgwick turned adversity into an opportunity for reflection, focusing on the positives. \u201cWe\u2019ve made it this far, our kids are healthy, we\u2019re healthy, you know? Let\u2019s look at what we have that\u2019s good,\u201d he reflected on the October, 2022 podcast.So, with their tails between their legs, Bacon and Sedgwick retreated from the limelight and from Tinseltown in general, finding solace and contentment on a cozy Connecticut farm.Gradually, the actors both shared snippets of their daily lives on social media, with Sedgwick posting so many videos of her and their goats to TikTok that people now recognize her for it, rather than her acting roles!\u201cPeople were like, \u2019We love you singing with the goats.\u2019 Kevin and I are like, \u2019Great, have you seen our movies or TV shows?\u2019 But it makes people happy,\u201d the actress and producer told\u00a0People<\/a>\u00a0in March this year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
