Kristen Bell Shares 2-Word Secret To Her Decade-Plus Marriage With Dax Shepard

The “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star shares two children with the comedian.
Kristen Bell seems to be doing this whole celebrity marriage thing right.
The “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star has been married to fellow actor Dax Shepard for over a decade. While the job frequently requires them to simulate relationships with other people, Bell revealed the secret to her happy marriage Monday in two little words.
“Foundational trust,” she told E! News. “Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he’s committed to our family. I know he’s coming home. I know he loves our children. I know he strives to be a good husband and father.”
Bell met Shepard in the mid-2000s when he was best known as Ashton Kutcher’s right-hand man on the MTV prank show “Punk’d.” She was wooed in a rather intimate way, and after tying the knot in 2013, she gave birth to their children: Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 9.
Bell said Monday that she and Shepard have since developed “very open communication.” This allows them to vocalize their feelings and potential physical urges without blaming each other, which often comes in handy.
