Kristen Bell Says There Were 'No Sparks' When She First Met Husband Dax Shepard

It wasn’t exactly love at first sight for Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.

During an interview with Today, the 39-year-old Frozen 2 star opened up about the first time she met the 44-year-old actor at a birthday dinner for Forgetting Sarah Marshall producer Shauna Robertson, and revealed that there were “no sparks” between them.

“I had just gotten out of a long-term relationship two months prior,” Kristen recalled. “And in retrospect, I realize [Dax] had just gotten out of a long relationship. We were sitting at a table. The only thing I remember is that he talked so much.”

Kristen joked that when she met Dax, she had no idea who he was.

“I’m like, ‘Is that one of the guys from Jackass or something?’” Kristen joked. “And then we left. There were no sparks whatsoever.”

Kristen
went on to say that two weeks later, the two met again at a hockey game where they first started flirting – but sparks really started to fly the next day when Dax texted her!

Kristen said his text was like, “Hi, my name is Dax. I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?”

And the rest is history!

Kristen and Dax have been together since late 2007, got married in 2013, and share two daughter – Lincoln, 6, and Delta, 4.
