First cousins

In an appearance on the U.S. TV show “Finding Your Roots” Kyra discovered that she and Bacon are ninth cousins, once removed.

A DNA test revealed that the actor and actress were distant cousins, which could give you an odd feeling, and Kevin wasn’t that thrilled.

Kyra claimed” she knew it” but said it was “a little unsettling.” However, she added that she was okay with the revelation, as long as they were not first cousins.

When PBS investigated Kevin’s family ancestry, the show discovered that King Edward I, who fought William Wallace, was his 22nd great grandfather. Kevin joked that his ancestry did not get enough attention, and he also commented on the fact that he and his wife were first cousins.
