Kristen Bell dished some fun details about how she first met her now-husband, actor Dax Shepard. Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly love at first sight, but it was definitely a memorable encounter!
Meeting at a Party
Kristen and Dax first crossed paths at a party for someone they both knew. Kristen admits she didn’t remember Dax much at first. In fact, she thought he was from the stunt comedy show Jackass (he wasn’t, but from another prank show called Punk’d). They didn’t hit it off that night, but that wasn’t the end of the story.
Second Chance Encounter
Later on, Kristen and Dax ran into each other again at a hockey game. This time, things were different. Kristen had actually been planning to flirt with a friend at the game, but he was busy talking to someone else. That’s when Dax came up to her.
The Chewing Gum Incident
Kristen recognized Dax from the party and they started chatting. During their conversation, Dax did something unexpected. He asked Kristen for a piece of gum! Kristen, only having one piece herself, playfully took it out of her mouth “coyly,” meaning she acted a little shy and flirty.
Bold Move by Dax
This is where things get interesting. Instead of politely asking for a new piece, Dax surprised Kristen by grabbing the gum right out of her mouth! Kristen’s reaction? She thought to herself, “This guy wants to hook up with me!”
Love Takes Time
It turns out, Kristen’s spicy first impression was spot on. Dax was definitely interested in her. But even though their meeting was memorable, it wasn’t exactly fairytale romance right away. It took some time for their connection to grow.
Happily Ever After
Kristen and Dax got engaged a few years after they met and have been married since 2013. They now have two children together and seem to be a very happy couple.
Looking Back with Laughter
Kristen shared this story with humor on a talk show. It’s a reminder that love stories don’t always begin perfectly. Sometimes, the meet-cute is awkward or unexpected, but that can make it all the more special in the end.
Dax’s Side of the Story
It would be fun to hear Dax’s perspective on their first meeting too! Maybe he remembers things differently, or maybe he was just as struck by Kristen’s playful personality.
Keeping Love Exciting
Kristen and Dax’s story shows that even long-term couples can keep things interesting by looking back on funny memories from the beginning of their relationship. It’s a reminder to cherish the special moments, both big and small.
Celebrity Couples, Just Like Us
At the end of the day, Kristen and Dax are just like any other couple. Their love story may be in the spotlight, but it’s filled with the same awkward moments, funny encounters, and happily ever afters that we all experience.
