Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard married in 2013.
Bell and Shepard began dating in 2007 and became engaged in 2010. They postponed their wedding while waiting for California to recognize same-sex marriage. After the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in United States v. Windsor invalidated a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act, they married on October 17, 2013.
Their ceremony was notably small and took place at the Beverly Hills County Clerk’s office. Bell is known for “Veronica Mars,” “Frozen,” and “The Good Place,” while Shepard is known for “Punk’d,” “Parenthood,” and the film “Idiocracy.”
The couple have two daughters, Lincoln and Delta. Their marriage year is sometimes confused with their 2010 engagement year or with the 2007 year when their relationship began. Their decision to delay the wedding was publicly linked to marriage-equality law in California.
