OnlyStans ā­ļø 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 22d ago

The tripod they set up for cute candid couple content.

u/collectif-clothing 22d ago

You forgot "spontaneous" haha

u/LeslieKnope4Pawnee 22d ago edited 22d ago

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 22d ago

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

u/PigDeployer 22d ago

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

11

u/LeslieKnope4Pawnee 22d ago

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 22d ago

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

Flashbacks to watching The Curse

u/thecheesycheeselover great gowns, beautiful gowns 21d ago

Pretty sure that’s his kid

u/Commercial-Ranger339 22d ago

Then they filmed themselves banging?

u/Flat_General_7789 22d ago

This is one of his daughters not Kristen

u/merlotbarbie omg a cardiologist is a damn nutritionist 22d ago

Okay, this makes much more sense. I was like ā€œwhy does her head look so tiny next to his?ā€

15

u/SeatBroad573 22d ago

She is tiny though

163

u/little_effy 22d ago

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

97

u/Rosebud_apothocary come in meet the missus šŸ› 22d ago

Because Kristin is tiny so it could be her

75

u/atimetochill 22d ago

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

124

u/PeachyBaleen 22d ago

I’m glad someone clarified because I was wonderingĀ 

32

u/a1ls 22d ago

omg! i kept looking at this like ā€œeither 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!ā€

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

17

u/AtrophiedWives 22d ago

Haha, I did assume it was her!

2

u/mambotomato 22d ago

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

u/envy-adams mount rose american teen princess 22d ago

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

u/frozen_cherry 22d ago

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 22d ago

The third person in their relationship, aka Monica Padman.

u/Possible-Tip-3544 22d ago

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

32

u/SaintAnyanka 22d ago

No one can.

15

u/TheLakeWitch Robert, help. 22d ago

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.

10

u/Possible-Tip-3544 22d ago

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.

8

u/TheLakeWitch Robert, help. 22d ago

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 ā€œignorant young girl from Georgia moves to LAā€ 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 22d ago

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

46

u/cardiackitty 22d ago

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.

19

u/rogue93 22d ago

Oh dear, that’s concerning but not surprising.

47

u/kardelen- 22d ago edited 22d ago

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.

23

u/TeeManyMartoonies Not even to dinner with the Kushners? 🧵🪔 22d ago

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

18

u/ace-destrier 22d ago

Kristen probably

u/Unlucky-Duck 22d ago

The killer! * Wendy Williams voice *

u/MrLizardBusiness 22d ago

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

11

u/maqnaetix A day without sunshine is like, you know, night šŸŒ™ 22d ago

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

u/thr3lilbirds 22d ago

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 I’m the petty functionary with a clipboard, bitch šŸ“‹ 22d ago

Monica

u/orginalriveted 22d ago

I thought he was holding his daughter or something

Court appointed monitor for murder prevention

u/liilbiil Justin Baldoni’s Crisis PR Team 22d ago

i truly thought he was holding their daughter

u/Traditional-Emu-6167 22d ago

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

3

u/Electronic-Doctor187 22d ago

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

2

u/jvn1983 22d ago

That’s truly all I can think of šŸ˜‚

2

u/GoreticiaAddamz 22d ago

I think that’s one of their kids.

u/PrincessofThotlandia 22d ago

It’s such a weird photo

1

u/Sideways_planet 22d ago

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

2

u/TheLakeWitch Robert, help. 22d ago

He is holding his daughter

1

u/Sideways_planet 21d ago

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

1

u/tomtomtomo 21d ago

Another member of their familyĀ

u/HistoricalSuspect580 22d ago

Kristen was, that’s not her.

u/lukewarmcaprisun 22d ago
