It’s been a bumpy year for Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, but the two of them keep showing up for each other in sweet ways.
The most recent? Bell posted a touching message to her husband of seven years on his birthday:
“It’s my favorite day of the year! When I get to celebrate the birth of my very favorite human on earth, and spoil him till he rots! The one who’s [sic] commitment to growth is astounding, who’s [sic] honesty is admirable, and who makes me laugh more than anyone. I love u so dearly, @daxshepard,” Bell wrote alongside a photo of the two of them.
In 2020, Shepard was injured multiple times—once in an ATV accident and also in a motorcycle accident.
Shepard, who is a recovering addict, began to find himself slipping into addictive behaviors and taking pain medication irresponsibly. He told the listeners of his podcast, Armchair Expert, that he had been dishonest with his family about his drug use.
In October Bell, who shares two children with Shepard, opened up about how she was moving forward together with him.
“He is actually doing really great. … Everybody is up against their own demons,” Bell said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Sometimes it’s anxiety and depression. Sometimes it’s substance abuse.”
In the same interview, Bell also said she was proud of her husband:
“The thing I love most about Dax is…that he was able to tell me and tell us and say, ‘We need a different plan.’ We have a plan: if he has to take medication for any reason, I have to administer it. But he was like, ‘We need a stronger plan.'”
“I will continue to stand by him because he’s very, very worth it,” Bell said.
