Kristen Bell Reveals Dating Regrets on Dax Shepard’s Podcast

LOS ANGELES, CA – Actress Kristen Bell discussed her dating regrets during a recent episode of her husband Dax Shepard‘s podcast, “Armchair Expert.” The 45-year-old star revealed that she wishes she had spent more time dating before marrying Shepard, 50.

During the September 29 episode, Bell shared her feelings with her husband and podcast co-host Monica Padman, as well as guest Justine Lupe, her co-star from the series “Nobody Wants This.” Shepard mentioned that Bell is “a little regretful” about not having more long-term relationships in her twenties.

“I didn’t have a lot of like long-term relationships,” Lupe noted, prompting Shepard to elaborate on Bell’s dating history. “She was very sexually active and she wishes she was even more sexually active,” he joked.

When Padman asked Bell to rate her sexual activity on a scale of one to ten—where one means virgin and ten represents a sex worker—Bell responded, “Four. And I just wish I maybe would have gone six.”

Bell reflected on her dating life, saying, “I just wish I butterflied around a little bit more” before settling down with Shepard. The couple first met in 2007 and got engaged two years later. They married in 2013 and have two daughters, Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 10.

Throughout their marriage, Bell and Shepard have emphasized the importance of trust and communication. “We root for each other,” Bell said about their Hollywood collaborations. “When he got to make out with Minka Kelly on ‘Parenthood,’ I was like, ‘Yes. Get it.’ We’re married; we’re not dead.”

Bell mentioned that even during moments of insecurity, the couple maintains open discussions to address any concerns. “Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he’s committed to our family,” she stated.
