Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard share an unshakable bond, having been married for an impressive eleven years and co-parenting two cherished daughters, Lincoln, aged 11, and Delta, 9. Both are accomplished actors whose professions occasionally require them to portray intimate scenes with others, yet Bell, now 44, revealed to E! News that their marriage stands resilient through it all, thanks to an unwavering foundation of trust.
"Even if Dax were to embark on a fictional romantic journey with the most captivating person on earth for a role," she explained, "I remain steadfast in my belief that his heart belongs to our family. I am confident he will return home, cherishing our children and striving daily to be the best husband and father he can be."
Their love story began at a dinner party in 2007, blossoming into a romance later that year. In 2010, they joyously announced their engagement, and three years hence, after patiently awaiting the legalization of gay marriage in California as a gesture of solidarity, they exchanged vows.
Bell admitted to E! News that, like any other couple, they too encounter moments of insecurity in their relationship. "We're human, aren't we?" she pondered. However, they rely on the transparency they've painstakingly cultivated, turning potential pitfalls into opportunities for deeper understanding.
"There might be a day when I confess, 'I'm genuinely anxious about you spending time with someone else,'" she illustrated. "And Dax would respond with, 'Okay, let's dissect this. What triggers your anxiety? What's on your mind?' Our communication is an open book."
Bell emphasized that their robust bond at home fosters a nurturing environment for their acting endeavors. "We cheer each other on. When Dax had a passionate scene with Minka Kelly in Parenthood, I was like, 'Yes, go for it!'" she joked, adding, "We're married, not deceased."
Similarly, Shepard, 50, remained undisturbed by Bell's on-screen romance with her Nobody Wants This co-star Adam Brody. "Dax knows full well that there's no genuine threat," she clarified. "In real life, Adam and I are more like a squabbling old couple. We argue constantly, more like a granny and grandpa than anything remotely fiery. On set, there's absolutely no heat between us."
