Kristen Bell is opening up about the early days of her dating life.
The 45-year-old actor, who’s been married to Dax Shepard since 2013, revealed one regret about her past during Monday’s episode of her husband’s podcast, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.
During Bell’s joint interview with her Nobody Wants This co-star Justine Lupe, Shepard teased his wife about her previous relationships.
“Kristen is a little regretful,” he said. “She was very sexually active, and she wishes she was even more sexually active.”
Bell then shared her regrets about not dating more people when she was young. “I just wish I would have butterflied around a little more,” she said.
Bell was asked how she’d describe her sex life when she was in her twenties on a scale of one to ten, with ten being extremely active.
“Four,” she responded. “And I just wish I maybe would have gone [to a] six.”
Although she may have her regrets about her dating life, Bell has continued to speak openly about how happy she is in her marriage. During an interview with E! News in February, she called “foundational trust” the secret to her and her husband’s long-lasting relationship, especially throughout their respective acting careers.
“Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he’s committed to our family,” The Good Place star, who shares two daughters with Shepard — Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 10 — said. “I know he’s coming home. I know he loves our children. I know he strives to be a great husband and father.”
However, she said that if she and Shepard feel insecure about the respective, intimate scenes they film and the colleagues they work with, they talk through it.
“So maybe there could be a day where I’m like, ‘I’m actually really nervous that you spend time with that person.’ And he could say, ‘Oh, OK, let’s talk about it. What makes you nervous? What are you thinking?’ We have a very open communication,” Bell added.
Shepard has also quipped about his wife’s on-screen romance with some of her co-stars. During an episode of his podcast last year, he joked that while he and his wife have “incredible chemistry,” he didn’t think it was as good as her chemistry with Adam Brody, who plays Bell’s love interest in Nobody Wants This.
“My friend… we watched that scene together, the kissing scene, which I’d argue is the very best kissing scene ever, ever put on film,” he said, referring to a viral episode from the first season of the Netflix series. “And my best friend, Aaron, from childhood, he goes, ‘Does she ever kiss you like that?’ No, I didn’t even know she could kiss like that.”
