Kevin Bacon’s Life on a Farm After Financial Loss

Kevin Bacon faced financial hardship after losing most of his money to Bernie Madoff’s infamous Ponzi scheme, the largest financial fraud in U.S. history. “We had most of our money in Madoff,” Bacon admitted, though the exact amount lost remains undisclosed. Reports suggest the loss could be as high as $30 million. Despite this, Bacon and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, maintained a resilient attitude.

A New Chapter on the Farm
Bacon and Sedgwick moved to a farm in Connecticut, embracing a rural lifestyle. Raised in Philadelphia, Bacon’s fascination with horses began in his youth, leading to their purchase of a run-down farmhouse. Over the years, they’ve expanded the property, creating a peaceful haven.

Life with Animals
The farm hosts various animals, including goats, which Bacon serenades with his guitar. This unique bond reflects his deep affection for animals. Bacon has even stopped eating goat meat, influenced by his own pets. Sedgwick humorously remarked, “We can’t get any more animals, or he’ll quit eating other meats as well.”

Cooking and Family Life
On the farm, the couple enjoys fresh produce and home-cooked meals. Bacon prefers control over what he eats, stating, “I want to be in more control of what I put into my body.” They’ve passed this love for cooking to their children, Travis and Sosie. Sedgwick follows recipes, while Bacon adjusts them, saying, “I rarely follow a recipe. I love recipes because I learn something new.”
