How Dax Shepard reacted to wife Kristen Bell’s ‘hot’ chemistry with Adam Brody

Kristen Bell has revealed how her husband Dax Shepard reacted to her sizzling chemistry with Adam Brody in her latest Netflix hit.

Dax Shepard couldn’t help but ship his wife, Kristen Bell, and co-star Adam Brody in Netflix latest hit series Nobody Wants This.

The US actress spoke about her husband’s reaction to her and Brody’s “chemistry on-screen” in a recent interview with eTalk.

“Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, ‘Whoa, that’s hot,’” the Good Place star, 44, confessed. “My husband said the same thing.”

Bell recalled, “Watching the first episode he was like, ‘Oh my god, I want you to kiss him so badly.’”

Nobody Wants This is all the rage on Netflix at the moment.

The Golden Globe nominee went on to explain that “there is a math to” her character Joanne’s connection with rabbi Noah Roklov, played by Brody.

“You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss — which I think is really important,” she explained.

Bell, who clarified that she was “not trying to be reductive,” continued, “Whether or not people want to see you end up with someone is a crap shoot, and we just kind of got lightning in a bottle.”

The Veronica Mars actress’ comments come five years after she said Shepard, 49, cheers her on while watching intimate scenes in her projects.

“He likes it when I fall in love on-screen in front of him. … If he’s watching by himself and I’m in the kitchen, I’ll hear him go, ‘Honey, get some!’ from the living room,” Bell explained on Conan in 2019, calling him a “great wingman.”

Bell and the Armchair Expert podcast co-host have been married since October 2013, waiting until same-sex marriage was legalised in California to tie the knot.

The duo share daughters Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 9.

As for Brody, The O.C. star began dating Leighton Meester in early 2013.

While Brody, 44, and the Gossip Girl actress, 38, keep their love life primarily under wraps, they got engaged in November of that year and wed in 2014.

Meester gave birth to their daughter and son in 2015 and 2020, respectively — and addressed the guilt she feels as a working mum in a subsequent Entertainment Tonight interview.

“Our society, everything, it doesn’t really give us a lot of space for feeling whole on either end, and feeling good about going to work, or leaving our kids, or being with them,” she said in March 2022.
