Kristen Bell has always been very candid about the ups and downs of married life with Dax Shepard.
The two, who have been married since 2013 and have two daughters together, represent “couple goals” to a lot of people who find their honesty refreshing.
But one commenter on Instagram suggested that Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard didn’t even like each other.
The comment, captured by Comments by Celebs on Wednesday, suggested there was an issue in their relationships: “Every piece of news I see about them talks about how they just can’t f***ing stand each other, constantly fight, now this dude is apparently objectifying her as well. just what’s the point?”
Bell responded to the comment, saying, “we adore each other, we just try to always be honest about how marriage, or companionship in any form, is hard sometimes. You cant always be in control, or right, and it’s important to us that we lead with the honesty of your ‘perfect match’ being a myth.”
“You gotta work hard to love yourself, and love other humans. Xo,” Bell added.
The fan’s comment was in reaction to an interview Shepard did with PopCulture in which he shared his wife’s reaction to a mural of the couple that was painted on the side of his van.
It’s a very Romance Novel cover, with Shepard as Fabio slaying a dragon while Bell clutches his leg.
“[The van] was inspired by ‘Breaker! Breaker!’ a Chuck Norris movie,” Shepard explained. “I’ve always loved those 70s muraled up vans. I’ve wanted one. And my wife is pretty adamant that’s the one vehicle she doesn’t want in our driveway.”
“She wasn’t thrilled with the level of ‘female empowerment’ that was depicted in that mural. Understandably,” Shepard said.
In September, a month after Shepard revealed on his podcast “Armchair Expert” that he had relapsed after years of sobriety, Bell told Ellen DeGeneres that the two were going back to couple’s therapy.
“I will continue to stand by him because he’s very, very worth it,” Bell said.
