The actor sweetly wrapped an arm around Susan as they posed spectacularly on the red carpet during the glittering event.
After catching up, Kevin shared a sweet message on his Instagram, writing, “There’s nothing like catching up with an old friend.”
“It’s great to see you (Susan), we’ve come a long way since our ‘Bull Durham’ days,” he added.
She rocked a bold red lip and opted for a classic half-up, half-down hairstyle with curly side-swept bangs.
The Thelma & Louise actress completed her makeup with a touch of blush and eyeliner.
Kevin and Susan, both guests of honor at the gala, played each other’s love interests in the 1988 romantic film Bull Durham.
“A fan who romances a minor league baseball player every season meets an up-and-coming pitcher and the seasoned catcher assigned to him,” the plot reads on IMDb.
Today Kevin finds himself consumed by a different project.
The actor is at the film festival for the premiere of his film Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter Two, which takes place on Saturday.

Susan looked chic in a white two-piece suit as she chatted through a masterclass alongside Kevin.
The actress shared her experience with the audience.
Following their meeting, Kevin shared a sweet message on his Instagram and wrote: ‘There’s nothing like catching up with an old friend.’
“It’s great to see you (Susan), we’ve come a long way since our ‘Bull Durham’ days,” he added.
The duo posed for a photo together after the masterclass.
Susan showed off her age-defying beauty with her stunning ensemble.
The epic western was directed, produced and co-written by Kevin, who also stars in the film alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington and Jena Malone.
It is the second of four planned films focused on the exploration of the American West, following Chapter One which is set to be released in June.
However, the first film was critically panned and failed to do well at the box office, so Chapter 2’s theatrical release was delayed indefinitely.
Kevin financed the film himself, admitting to putting $38 million of his own funds into the project after spending decades trying to find a studio to make the film and even taking out a loan using his Santa Barbara home as collateral.
Kevin shares Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14, with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner.
The former couple were married from 2004 until their divorce was finalized earlier this year in February.
He is also dad to Annie, 40, Lily, 38, and Joe, 36, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Cindy Silva. He also has son Liam, 27, with ex Bridget Rooney.
