Kristen Bell made sure to shower her husband, Dax Shepard, with love on his 50th birthday with a heartfelt and affectionate Instagram tribute. On January 2, the 44-year-old Nobody Wants This star shared a sweet post celebrating her husband, writing, “Happy Birthday to the most affectionate 220-lb man that ever existed. I cannot imagine life without you.” She also reflected on their journey together, sharing the first picture she ever posted on Instagram, which features a passionate kiss between the couple, as well as a photo from their wedding day.
Bell included several adorable moments in her tribute, including pictures of Shepard kissing their daughters and the couple wearing matching festive pajamas, alongside more affectionate shots. Shepard, clearly touched by his wife’s tribute, responded in the comments with humor and emotion, writing, “How dare you make me cry on my big day of turning super old.”
The love-filled post comes after Shepard’s playful comments about Bell’s on-screen chemistry with her Nobody Wants This co-star Adam Brody. When asked about their on-screen chemistry, Shepard joked, “Not as good as her and Brody.” He shared that after watching Bell kiss Brody’s character in the Netflix series, he was asked by his best friend, “Does she ever kiss you like that?” Shepard humorously responded, “No, I did not even know she could kiss like that,” calling it the “very best kissing scene” ever put on film.
Nobody Wants This tells the story of a newly single rabbi, Noah (Brody), and sex podcaster Joanne (Bell), as they navigate a growing romance despite the skepticism of those around them.
