AceShowbiz - Kristen Bell has come to the defense of her husband, Dax Shepard, after his revelation that he took her chewed gum and put it in his mouth on their second date. During an appearance on "The View", co-host Sunny Hostin quizzed Bell about Shepard's story, which had previously divided viewers. Bell responded with a calm and collected demeanor, addressing the perceived controversy:
"Let me start with the fact that, that's not meant to create a divide. He didn't ask you to take his gum, did he? Okay, then there really shouldn't be a divide about this. It was an experience we had."
Bell then shared her own perspective on the incident, admitting that she found it rather charming. "I personally thought it was very cute and it was the indicator, after we had been talking and chatting for a while and I was like, 'Oh, this guy's kinda cute and special.' And then I guess I was being flirty and took it out of my mouth and then he took it. And I was like, 'well...' I said, 'Understood.'"
This anecdote is just one example of the unconventional yet enduring love story between Bell and Shepard. They first met in 2007 and tied the knot in 2013, sharing two daughters, Lincoln and Delta.
Bell and Shepard are known for their openness about their relationship, often sharing both the joys and challenges they face as a couple. In recent months, they have discussed topics such as parenting styles, the hypocrisy between Father's Day and Mother's Day, and coping with triggers from past trauma. Their honesty and willingness to talk about real-life issues have made them relatable and beloved by fans.
