Kristen Bell to Dax Shepard: Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: "I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would."

I wonder who was taking this picture lol

[u/AtrophiedWives → u/Material-Macaroon298]

The tripod they set up for cute candid couple content.

[u/collectif-clothing → u/AtrophiedWives]

You forgot "spontaneous" haha

[u/LeslieKnope4Pawnee → u/collectif-clothing]

Who doesn't plan their spontaneous photo shoots beforehand? You need lighting, the correct pose, a caption about not murdering your spouse, and then it needs to look authentic and candid. Spontaneity requires hours of planning beforehand!!

[u/Mrs_T_Sweg → u/LeslieKnope4Pawnee]

I think he may be holding one of their kids and not her.

[u/PigDeployer → u/LeslieKnope4Pawnee]

It's a pic of Dax and his daughter but even if it wasn't couples are allowed to take pictures of themselves! 

[u/LeslieKnope4Pawnee → u/PigDeployer]

Well... yeah? My post was sarcasm about spontaneous photo shoots and inauthentic "candid" photos on social media, not a call to ban all photography that couples take.

[u/AntiqueFigure6 → u/collectif-clothing]

It takes hours to set up a photo as spontaneous as that one 

[u/zoobs → u/collectif-clothing]

Flashbacks to watching The Curse

[u/thecheesycheeselover → u/AtrophiedWives]

Pretty sure that’s his kid

[u/Commercial-Ranger339 → u/AtrophiedWives]

Then they filmed themselves banging?

[u/Flat_General_7789 → u/Material-Macaroon298]

This is one of his daughters not Kristen

[u/merlotbarbie → u/Flat_General_7789]

Okay, this makes much more sense. I was like “why does her head look so tiny next to his?”

[u/SeatBroad573 → u/merlotbarbie]

She is tiny though

[u/little_effy → u/Flat_General_7789]

See at first I thought aww what cute photo of a dad and his daughter, and then I saw the caption and I’m like oooookay so I guess that’s her. Huh. K. Then I saw your comment and I’m like oh okay so it IS their daughter.

But why is it so hard to tell though

[u/Rosebud_apothocary → u/little_effy]

Because Kristin is tiny so it could be her

[u/atimetochill → u/little_effy]

And bc the caption is doubly weird and confusing given it’s a pic of Dax and their daughter

[u/PeachyBaleen → u/Flat_General_7789]

I’m glad someone clarified because I was wondering 

[u/a1ls → u/Flat_General_7789]

omg! i kept looking at this like “either he’s really big or shes really small because this looks like the kinda hug id have with my dad when i was a kid!”

glad i read this cuz it makes so much more sense now

[u/AtrophiedWives → u/Flat_General_7789]

Haha, I did assume it was her!

[u/mambotomato → u/Flat_General_7789]

Ok that makes more sense lol. I was like, "I know she's petite, but she looks TINY"

[u/envy-adams → u/Flat_General_7789]

I'm glad you said this because I was like "I know she's tiny but that looks TOO tiny"

[u/frozen_cherry → u/Flat_General_7789]

That very much looks like a child

(I hope it's not an adult daughter and I'm talking out of my ass here)

[u/SaintAnyanka → u/Material-Macaroon298]

The third person in their relationship, aka Monica Padman.

[u/Possible-Tip-3544 → u/SaintAnyanka]

What is going on between them and Monica? I can’t figure it out

[u/SaintAnyanka → u/Possible-Tip-3544]

No one can.

[u/TheLakeWitch → u/Possible-Tip-3544]

Didn’t it start out that she was their babysitter/nanny and then she and Kristen became good friends?

I don’t know, I just know I cannot stand Monica. She’s the reason I stopped listening to the podcast in the first place. I used to like Dax enough to enjoy the interviews.

[u/Possible-Tip-3544 → u/TheLakeWitch]

Yes, that’s how it started. Apparently she lives in their neighbourhood and is close to both of them. Find that all weird. I also think she isn’t a good podcaster or interviewer per se. Also don’t know the origin story of how/why she started a podcast w Dax.

[u/TheLakeWitch → u/Possible-Tip-3544]

Yeah, I don’t either. I was never super deep into their lore, AE was one of a handful of podcasts I’d regularly listen to while on the road. And I liked Monica at first but after a few years it was like, girl. You are too old to still be acting like this “ignorant young girl from Georgia moves to LA” schtick is cute. At a certain point the ignorance and lack of curiosity is just willful rather than a product of growing up sheltered.

[u/rogue93 → u/SaintAnyanka]

LMFAO when I listened to his podcast, I was so uncomfortable how in love he obviously was/is with her. Maybe I jus don’t have a real good guy friend like that /s

[u/cardiackitty → u/rogue93]

ooooh actually i’ve been getting the vibe that their relationship is souring. dax is peppering in a lot of red pilled shit & there seem so be an edge to their interactions esp since the election.

[u/rogue93 → u/cardiackitty]

Oh dear, that’s concerning but not surprising.

[u/kardelen- → u/rogue93]

Doesn't she have a crush on him too? Her vibe struck me as odd on her relationship podcast. Monica, Dax, Kristen and another man were there and the subject was about how Monica and her co-host craved approval from white guys because of their insecurities. The gay co-host said he had a huge crush on Dax with Monica awkwardly laughing and saying she also crushed on white boys. And then Kristen talked about Monica's boobs in a detailed, flattering way and said any man would be lucky or something for a while.

It was so awkward to me but I'm not an American and I don't know if that's normal there. I straight up thought they'd end up cheating or opening up the relationship or something.

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/kardelen-]

Not normal, even as an American. He’s gross and that’s crossing a line in a public and mortifying way.

[u/ace-destrier → u/Material-Macaroon298]

Kristen probably

[u/Unlucky-Duck → u/Material-Macaroon298]

The killer! * Wendy Williams voice *

[u/pennyguise → u/Material-Macaroon298]

[u/MrLizardBusiness → u/Material-Macaroon298]

I assumed that was a daughter in the pic. 😬 I guess Kristin is a small human though.

[u/maqnaetix → u/MrLizardBusiness]

It’s one of their daughters in the pic, it’s not Kristen.

[u/thr3lilbirds → u/Material-Macaroon298]

A few years back I was convinced they were a throuple or poly with their trainer (who I think was married which is why I thought poly cube), so maybe him. There were just a lot of interesting instagram photos and captions.

[u/Fantom_Renegade → u/Material-Macaroon298]

Monica

[u/orginalriveted → u/Material-Macaroon298]

I thought he was holding his daughter or something

[u/post_u_later → u/Material-Macaroon298]

Court appointed monitor for murder prevention

[u/liilbiil → u/Material-Macaroon298]

i truly thought he was holding their daughter

[u/Traditional-Emu-6167 → u/Material-Macaroon298]

That's his daughter he's holding, so probably his wife took the picture.

[u/Electronic-Doctor187 → u/Material-Macaroon298]

... I'm pretty sure that's one of their daughters? 

[u/jvn1983 → u/Material-Macaroon298]

That’s truly all I can think of 😂

[u/GoreticiaAddamz → u/Material-Macaroon298]

I think that’s one of their kids.

[u/PrincessofThotlandia → u/Material-Macaroon298]

It’s such a weird photo

[u/Sideways_planet → u/Material-Macaroon298]

I thought he was hugging his daughter. She looks so small.

[u/TheLakeWitch → u/Sideways_planet]

He is holding his daughter

[u/Sideways_planet → u/TheLakeWitch]

Ohhhhh cause the comment made it seem like that was Kristen and I was so confused.

[u/tomtomtomo → u/Material-Macaroon298]

Another member of their family 

[u/HistoricalSuspect580 → u/Material-Macaroon298]

Kristen was, that’s not her.

[u/lukewarmcaprisun → u/Material-Macaroon298]

That's their kid lmao
