Kristen Bell says she and Dax Shepard root for each other’s onscreen romances—netizens poke fun ‘That’s odd but okay!’

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have always been Hollywood’s quirky, unfiltered couple. Whether they’re talking about their relationship dynamics or their very open approach to parenting, they never shy away from oversharing. But their latest revelation? It has the internet both amused and slightly bewildered.

In a recent interview, Kristen Bell shared that she and her husband don’t just tolerate each other’s onscreen romances—they actively root for them. That’s right. When one of them locks lips with a co-star, the other is on the sidelines, cheering them on like it’s a competitive sport. And naturally, social media had a lot to say about it.

Kristen Bell’s Comment That Sparked a Viral Reaction

During the interview, Kristen Bell explained that she doesn’t feel threatened by Shepard’s steamy scenes with other actors. She embraces it.

Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he's committed to our family. I know he's coming home […] We root for each other,

she said, adding that they see these moments as part of the job.

This level of unwavering confidence in their marriage is, objectively, sweet. But the internet being the internet, people weren’t going to let it slide without some playful roasting. As soon as her comments made the rounds online, netizens flooded social media with their reactions, ranging from admiration to pure confusion.

It didn’t take long for Twitter (or X, if you insist on calling it that) to jump into the conversation. Some users found Kristen Bell’s attitude refreshing, praising her for being so secure in her relationship. Others, however, weren’t as convinced.

One person summed up the general sentiment with a simple but effective, “That is odd but okay.”

Another admitted, “Everything I learn about these two is against my will,” which, honestly, feels like a fair assessment given how much personal information Kristen Bell and Shepard tend to share.

Some found the whole situation a little suspicious. “She be sounding like a therapist trying to convince herself,” one user quipped.

And then there were the cynics, with one saying, “Anything for money, I guess…” implying that this level of public relationship transparency might be more of a brand strategy than genuine openness.

Of course, some people just straight-up refused to believe this is normal. “They hate each other,” someone boldly declared, apparently convinced that this kind of enthusiastic support for kissing other people on camera could only mean there’s trouble in paradise.

Others were in awe of the level of confidence it must take to not only accept but cheer on your spouse’s makeout scenes. “Hyping up your partner’s onscreen romances. That’s next-level support,” one user pointed out.

Meanwhile, another summed up what many were probably thinking: “Truly, that must be difficult for some couples.”

At the end of the day, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have always danced to the beat of their drum. Their relationship has never been traditional, and they seem perfectly happy with how they handle things even if the internet finds it, well, odd.

Maybe they’re just that secure in their love. Maybe they do enjoy seeing each other make out with other people for work. Or maybe, just maybe, they’re Hollywood’s greatest PR masterminds. Either way, they’ve given the internet something to talk about. Again.
