Kristen Bell Says Parenting Puberty Makes Her Cry Every Week

She told Bustle she would step away from her career to protect her daughters and is tightening what the family shares publicly.

Overview

  • Kristen Bell, in a Bustle interview published Oct. 22, said she cries weekly as she copes with the emotional strain of raising two daughters through puberty.
  • Bell told the magazine she would willingly give up her fame and career rather than miss or sacrifice essential moments in her children's lives.
  • The couple has pulled back from sharing many 'cute' family details so their 13‑year‑old and 11‑year‑old daughters face less media exposure as they grow older.
  • Dax Shepard has previously explained on his Armchair Expert podcast that they raise their daughters to be outspoken and to speak up for themselves.
  • Bell's comments, released while she promotes a new Netflix season, add to wider conversations about parental mental load and how public figures set boundaries to protect children.
