Kristen Bell Gushing Over Husband Dax Shepard Will Make You Swoon

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard just might be the cutest celebrity couple out there. In the most recent issue of People magazine, Bell gushed about her husband and it will seriously make you swoon.

"When we first got together I had a lot of trust and jealousy issues," the 38-year-old actress explained. "Over the years I have realized what a waste of time these emotions are because he has shown nothing but consistent love, and conducts himself in my absence exactly how he does in my presence. I also think he has gotten funnier over the years!” 

"At first I was attracted to the way he made me feel, and now I’m attracted to the things I learn from him," Bell continued. "[I’m] decidedly confident I chose the right person. He does almost everything in a 'manly' way. He can put a ponytail on our 5-year-old’s hair as manly as he can change his brake pads in the driveway."

For Bell, there is "nothing is sexier than him being a good human." This sentiment is something she's previously shared about Shepard. Back in September, Bell commemorated Shepard on 14 years of sobriety with a heartfelt Instagram post. "I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and I want you to know, I see you. I see how hard you work. You set an excellent example of being human," she wrote alongside a series of photos.

To the man mocked me in our wedding photos because I cried too many tears of joy, Who wore a baby Bjorn for 2 straight years to show his girls how to be as adventurous as possible, Who held our dear little shakey mann pup for 8 hrs straight on the day we had to put him down, I know how much you loved using. I know how much it got in your way. And I know, because I saw, how hard you worked to live without it. I will forever be in awe of your dedication, and the level of fierce moral inventory you perform on yourself, like an emotional surgery, every single night. You never fail to make amends, or say sorry when its needed. You are always available to guide me, and all of our friends, with open ears and tough love when its needed most. You have become the fertilizer in the garden of our life, encouraging everyone to grow. I'm so proud that you have never been ashamed of your story, but instead shared it widely, with the hope it might inspire someone else to become the best version of themselves. You have certainly inspired me to do so. I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and I want you to know, I see you. I see how hard you work. You set an excellent example of being human. Happy 14th year sobriety birthday, @daxshepard. Xoxo

When they're not being so lovey-dovey with each other, Bell and Shepard can be found hilariously trolling each other on social media and even on TV. Shepard went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to reveal his wife wears gloves when she goes swimming. The 43-year-old actor told Jimmy Kimmel that it was “Weirder to me than her even having this proclivity is that someone is manufacturing pool gloves!” The segment was so popular that Bell had to come on the show herself a few weeks later to explain herself. 

They also do face masks and elaborate Halloween costumes together, so you know it's real. Yup, definitely couple goals!
