- A Christmas Eve realization led Shepard to propose.
Kristen Bell recently appeared on her husband Dax Shepard's podcast, "Armchair Expert," sharing intimate details about his initial reluctance to marry.
Bell recounted that Shepard once expressed he "didn't believe in marriage," explaining that a legal document wouldn't dictate his commitment to her. He described having an "anarchist point of view" regarding marriage, questioning the need for state approval to be together.
Shepard also noted that both he and Bell are children of multiple divorces, which influenced his skepticism about the institution. Despite his reservations, he committed to treating Bell as a partner for life.
However, a pivotal Christmas Eve celebration, where Bell brought Shepard's parents to California for the holidays, profoundly impacted him. Witnessing the family they were building, Shepard decided to propose, having kept a ring hidden. Bell was overwhelmed with emotion upon receiving the unexpected proposal.
Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell have been married since 2013 and are parents to two daughters, Lincoln and Delta.
