Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard’s Relationship Timeline Actually Feels So Normal
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been together for literally a million years (kay, like, 13) and the time has come to mine the history of their relationship. Unlike many celeb couples, Kristen and Dax are extremely honest about the ups and downs in their marriage, even getting into details about their fights, cheating allegations, and sex life. In other words, we have a lot to cover….
Circa 2007
Kristen and Dax meet in 2007 at a birthday dinner for mutual friends. They start dating, although Dax briefly breaks up with Kristen in the early days of their relationship. She’s since opened up about the moment to PopSugar:
“We were dating for about three months, and I already knew that I was in love with him and he was hesitant because he knew he was still dating other people. He sat me down and said, ‘I can’t have this right now. I think you’re wonderful, but I am still dating other people.’ And then I, like, liquefied and fell to the ground, but I felt incredibly respected that he had the balls to tell me we weren’t in the same place….He called me and he was like, ‘I don’t know what I was thinking. I was dating someone else but they’re just not as interesting as you, and I don’t know what I’m doing,’ and he came back. But I still always remind him of when he broke up with me.”
Unforgivable, TBH.

We have a relationship where you are supposed to be able to say, ‘I need your help with this.’ For those of you listening, I’m telling this from my perspective. He’s not here, he can’t defend himself.”

Kristen tells People that while the first two weeks of quarantine were “f*cking brutal,” Dax’s help homeschooling their kids caused her to fall even harder for him:
“He’s made me feel like I’m not doing it by myself, which has made me fall much deeper in love with him.”
That brings us up to date, but stay tuned for more updates from these two.
