Kristen Bell Opens Up About Finding True Connection with Dax Shepard in SiriusXM Interview

In a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name, Kristen Bell took a nostalgic dive into the beginnings of her relationship with husband Dax Shepard.

Recounting their initial meetings over a decade ago, Bell shared amusing anecdotes that shed light on the unconventional start of their love story.

“At Shauna Robertson’s birthday party,” Bell recalled, “I remember thinking, ‘That guy from Jackass talks so much.’ But little did I know, he was actually from Punk’d!” Despite their funny mix-up and not feeling an instant connection, destiny had other plans for them.

Their next meeting happened at an L.A. Kings hockey game. Kristen Bell had planned to flirt with her friend Michael, but luckily, he was busy with someone else. This unexpected turn of events led Kristen to chat with Dax Shepard instead, which turned out to be a conversation that completely changed their lives.

A key moment in their early romance happened unexpectedly over gum. Kristen Bell was chewing gum when Shepard asked if she had more.

She playfully said, “No, just this one,” and he took it from her, saying, “I’ll have it.” Bell jokingly thought to herself, “This guy must really like me.”

Despite a short breakup early in their relationship, Shepard’s friend Jason Bateman encouraged him to fully commit to Kristen Bell. Taking his friend’s advice to heart, Dax proposed to Kristen not long after, showing their dedication to each other amid the ups and downs of Hollywood life.
