A close-knit family
It's worth noting that Sosie is very close to her parents and shares their passions for acting and music. She often appears on their social media pages in jam or dance sessions, with one post showing Sosie and her father taking on Taylor Swift's hit number 'Anti-Hero.' She has an older brother named Travis Bacon who doesn't act that often but is a professional musician and a member of the industrial band Contracult, as per Parade magazine.
The family has another shared love of animals, and their social media regularly features horses and goats. Bacon has garnered a reputation for singing with his goats in videos. Meanwhile, Sosie has reportedly been in a long-term relationship with her actor boyfriend, Scoot McNairy, for over a year. She has previously teased a potential engagement, but the pair haven't made an official announcement as yet.
On the professional front, Sosie has followed in her parents' footsteps and is quickly building a name for herself as a talented actress. She first appeared in Kevin and Kyra's 2005 film 'Loverboy' before acting in a few episodes of her mother's show 'The Closer' in 2009. A few years down the line, she hit the ground running with featured roles in shows such as 'Hear and Now' and '13 Reasons Why'. She has delivered commendable performances in projects including 'Narcos: Mexico', 'Mare of Easttown', 'As We See It', and the horror movie 'Smile'.
