Maintaining a strong marriage in Hollywood can be challenging, but Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard seem to have found a successful formula: unwavering trust and open communication. The couple recently discussed their approach to handling romantic scenes with co-stars, emphasizing their deep-seated faith in each other's commitment to their family.
Bell shared that even if Shepard were to engage with someone else professionally, she remains confident in his dedication to their family. This foundational trust allows them to navigate potentially sensitive situations with honesty and understanding. She highlighted their open communication, explaining that they address any concerns or insecurities directly, ensuring both partners feel heard and respected.
This mutual support extends to their professional lives, with Bell expressing enthusiasm for Shepard's on-screen romance with Minka Kelly in "Parenthood." She believes that being married shouldn't preclude appreciating attractive co-stars, jokingly stating, "We’re married; we’re not dead."
Similarly, Shepard was comfortable with Bell's kissing scenes with Adam Brody in "Nobody Wants This." Bell humorously downplayed any real-life chemistry between herself and Brody, describing their off-screen relationship as more akin to "an old granny and grampy."
Interestingly, both Bell and Shepard acknowledged the on-screen spark between Bell and Brody, with Shepard even praising their kissing scene as one of the best ever filmed. He humorously recounted a conversation with a friend who questioned whether Bell kissed him with the same passion, to which Shepard admitted she didn't.
The couple's journey began at a dinner party in 2007, followed by a chance encounter at a hockey game. Shepard's playful first text to Bell, admitting to obtaining her number through a mutual friend, set the tone for their relationship. Bell appreciated the humor and admitted to falling for him first. They married in 2013 and are now parents to two daughters.
