Kristen Bell Says She Wishes She’d Dated More Before Marrying Dax Shepard

The candid disclosure reflects the couple’s pattern of open talk about trust, intimacy, parenting.

Overview

  • Bell shared the reflection on the Sept. 29 Armchair Expert episode during a lighthearted exchange with co-host Monica Padman and guest Justine Lupe.
  • Asked to rate her 20s on a 0–10 scale, she called herself a four and said she wished she had gone to a six.
  • She phrased the feeling as wishing she had “butterflied around a little bit more” before settling down.
  • Shepard joked that she was very sexually active and wished she had been even more sexually active, which Bell did not dispute.
  • Bell also said Shepard brought out a lot of her sexuality and reiterated their long-standing emphasis on communication and trust, a theme the couple has discussed throughout their marriage with daughters Lincoln and Delta.
