Kristen Bell celebrated the 12th wedding anniversary of her actor husband Dax Shepard with a post that not only disclosed but also showed the couple’s uniquely dark and comical declaration of love. Delightful laughter from their audience was the outcome of the post—the couple that appeared frank and funny chose the post as a testimony of their marriage day, which was like their unusual bond post.

Initially, the actress’ post was a love letter for her husband, but it was the exact quote that she chose to spotlight which brought everyone’s attention. At that time, she had to tell Shepard saying, “I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.” Originally the statement sounding off was taken as a sign of his love which is ever-lasting, although, in a strange way.
The post instantly generated reactions that were almost entirely comprised of laughter and appreciation for the couple’s genuine interaction. One online user succinctly expressed the prevailing mood by saying, “What a poet 😂 happy anniversary!!” This remark brought to the fore the fact that the everyday affair of Shepard’s weird love was a highlight of their public magnetism. Another follower pointed out the tenderness underneath the surface claiming, “This is legitimately very sweet,” thus insinuating that the atypical promise was eventually the very commitment of great depth.
In addition, the post got comments from two other famous people, which only increased the celebratory atmosphere. Actress Zoey Deutch merely stated, “you guys are the best,” while another user went along the same lines saying, “happy anniversary! you guys are the best!❤️”. This backing from the peer group made it very clear that the couple still enjoyed being loved by the members of their circle.
Certainly, not all people were as thrilled by the post, and some pointed out the post’s disturbing side. One person remarked, “a little disturbing, but ok☺️,” who acknowledged that the humor was dark but, at the same time, wished the couple well. Another commenter joking about possible backlash and palmed off the consequences by saying, “Happy anniversary! 💕 RIP to your comments,” anticipating that the post would attract a mixture of confusion and amusement.
Many fans saw themselves in the post. One fan shared, “Happy anniversary! My husband and I are celebrating the 14th anniversary of our engagement today, and now knowing that it is your anniversary makes it even more lovable to me 💕,” thus making a link between their personal milestone and the couple’s. Another message from a happy couple said, “Aww today is our 11th anniversary. Happy Anniversary to you!” thereby a chain of long-term couples claiming a dream celebration was formed.
The anniversary celebration invited to reconsider the mortality of marriage as such. More experienced commenters would chime in with some wise yet humorous observations and advice: “The first 12 a gift, now the work. lol, congrats.” Still, another one, being happily married for an astonishing 46 years, would give the champions’ shout: “We celebrated 46 years this week; you’ve got this!”. The comments so far referred to Bell and Shepard’s 12-year milestone as passing through a longer and more rewarding journey.
