Kristen Bell wishes she’d spent a bit more time playing the field before settling down with husband Dax Shepard.
While Bell and her “Nobody Wants This” co-star Justine Lupe talked about dating on Monday’s episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast, host Shepard teased his wife for suggesting she’d missed out on certain experiences.
When Lupe shared that she “dated a lot” during her 20s, Bell said, “Good for you!” prompting Shepard to reveal that his wife was a “little regretful” that she hadn’t done the same.
He then made sure to clarify that Bell wasn’t celibate before they got together, either, adding, “She was very active. She was very sexually active, and she wishes she was even more sexually active.”
“I just wish I butterflied around a little bit more,” explained Bell, who has previously described herself as a late bloomer.
Trying to gauge Bell’s pre-Shepard dating experience, co-host Monica Padman asked her to rank how sexually active she was on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 meaning virgin, while “10 is sex worker.”
“Four,” Bell guessed. “And I just wish I maybe would have gone six.”
While the star wasn’t exactly inexperienced in the dating department, she explained that Shepard actually helped her feel comfortable with her sexuality.
“I was never this sexual before you,” Bell said.
The couple, who are known for being exceptionally open about their personal lives, first got together in 2007 and were engaged two years later.
They enjoyed a long engagement before tying the knot at the Beverly Hills courthouse in October 2013 and are parents to daughters Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 10.
