Dax Shepard Affirms Marriage to Kristen Bell as Success Regardless of Split

Dax Shepard expressed on his "Armchair Expert" podcast that he would always consider his marriage to Kristen Bell a success, even if they were to separate in the future. He emphasized the love they share, their two daughters, and the great experiences they've had together, stating it would dishonor their relationship to view it otherwise. Shepard and Bell, married since 2013, acknowledge their differences and stubbornness, which have made their relationship stronger through hard work and mutual growth. Bell described their dynamic as being polar opposites who argue frequently but maintain foundational trust and respect. They also make a conscious effort to model healthy conflict resolution for their children by apologizing and making amends openly. This perspective was shared in a conversation with Alicia Silverstone, who related Shepard's views to her own experience with her ex-husband.
