Now, let's talk about something really exciting. Kyra is working on a new movie with her husband, Kevin Bacon. "It’s a rom-com — it’s far from coming out, so don’t go looking for it yet," she teases. The film, titled Connescence, marks their first collaboration since 2004’s Cavedweller and The Woodsman. Can you imagine the chemistry these two will bring to the screen? It's not just a movie; it's a family affair. Kyra and Kevin have been together for decades, and their partnership extends beyond the personal into the professional realm.

Here's something you might find surprising about Kyra. Despite being a Hollywood icon, she doesn't exactly have a who's who list of famous friends. "No, Kevin and I don’t have a Rolodex of famous people," Kyra laughs. Her real-life friendships are as down-to-earth as they come. "Most of my friends I’ve had since I was a teenager," she reveals. Kyra and Kevin prefer the comfort of long-standing friendships over the glitz and glamour of celebrity connections. It's a refreshing perspective that makes Kyra even more relatable.
