Kristen Bell Revealed How She And Dax Shepard Deal With Hot And Steamy Romances In Each Other's TV Shows And Movies
It's a tired old phrase, but Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are relationship goals.
In an interview with E! News ahead of her debut as host of the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 22, Kristen revealed how she and her husband have locked down their admirable romance after all these years.
Kristen and Dax have been married for 11 years and share two children, Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 9.
As actors, they've both been involved in on-screen intimacy with other people, but according to Kristen, "foundational trust" makes those steamy moments no biggie in their household.
For instance, Kristen starred alongside Adam Brody in the Netflix series Nobody Wants This, which is about a romance between outspoken, agnostic podcaster Joanne (Kristen) and the unconventional, recently single Rabbi Noah Roklov (Adam).
For further context, Dax starred in the 2010 series Parenthood as Crosby Braverman, a recording engineer with his fair share of flings, romances, and spicy relationships.
"Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he's committed to our family," Kristen explained to E! News. "I know he's coming home. I know he loves our children. I know he strives to be a great husband and father."
However, she added if there's a moment of insecurity, the couple isn't afraid to be honest about their feelings. "We're just human, right?" she added.
"So maybe there could be a day where I'm like, 'I'm actually really nervous that you spend time with that person.' And he could say, 'Oh, OK, let's talk about it. What makes you nervous? What are you thinking?' We have a very open communication."

Ultimately, it's their chemistry that keeps them supportive of each other. "We root for each other," Kristen said. "When he got to make out with Minka Kelly on Parenthood, I was like, 'Yes. Get it.' We're married; we're not dead."
NBC
In Parenthood, Crosby (Dax) has an affair with his nephew's behavioral aide, Gaby, played by Minka.
On the flip side, Dax is equally not phased by Kristen's hot and heavy romances, like her character's entire arc in Nobody Wants This, opposite Adam.
"Dax also knows there's no real threat there," Kristen said, "because Adam and I, if you were to see us in person, there is not chemistry. We bicker all the time. We're like an old granny and grampy. It's not hot and heavy on set at all."
Dax and Kirsten met in 2007 at a friend's birthday dinner and became engaged in late 2009 when they co-starred in the 2010 rom-com When in Rome, so interestingly, it's rom-coms and cinematic romances where it all began.
Since forever, Kristen and Dax have been candid about their relationship, whether good or bad, and it's quite refreshing. So, this "foundational trust" is just another great tidbit to add to their legacy.

There's A New ‘Ginny And Georgia' Season 4 Release Date Update
Ginny and Georgia There is no waiting period to see if Ginny and Georgia will be renewed for season 4 now that season 3 has aired, given that it was already double-renewed ahead of season 3's launch. However, when that fourth season is actually arriving is another question entirely, and a new update is disappointing if you were hoping that the show was going to be fast-tracked this time around. Despite the early renewal, that will not result in early filming of Ginny and Georgia season 4, which has not yet begun and will not begin for a while yet. According to Ginny actress Brianne Howey speaking on Collider's Ladies Night show, filming will start later this year. If we're being generous, we can say maybe that's in three months in September 2025. If not, December 2025. So, here are the release dates for the first three seasons of the show: That gap between seasons 2 and 3, two and a half years, was so long that the show's Austin actor grew a comical amount between episodes that were supposed to take place in the same night. Now, fans looking to avoid that wait may actually be getting a significantly shorter gap. Ginny and Georgia Filming and post-production of Ginny and Georgia has taken roughly 14 months or so in the past. So, if production begins in September 2025, that's November 2026. 14 months from December 2025 instead would be February 2027. That means the release date of Ginny and Georgia season 4 could be in the range between November 2026 and February 2027, which would be between 17 months and 20 months after season 3. So a year and a half gap, thereabouts, rather than a two and a half year one. But if production slips, all that's out the window. It remains something of a mystery as to why the show was delayed to this degree. There were the strikes in the middle, but that affected all productions, not just this one. But so long as things are able to get back on track now, this could be a series that moves back to being a 1.5-year break series rather than a 2-2.5-year break series, which is about as close to good news as we get in this day and age of huge spaces between seasons of streaming shows. Hopefully, we'll get more confirmed information soon. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Blue Eye Samurai Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 14, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 14, 2025, 12:15 IST Blue Eye Samurai took the streaming world by storm with its stunning animation, gripping storyline, and complex characters when it debuted on Netflix in November 2023. The R-rated animated series, set in Edo-period Japan, follows Mizu, a mixed-race samurai voiced by Maya Erskine, on a bloody quest for revenge. After a critically acclaimed first season, Netflix swiftly greenlit Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, leaving fans eager for more. Here's everything we know so far about Season 2. Release Date Speculation for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 While Netflix confirmed the renewal of Blue Eye Samurai for Season 2 in December 2023, no official release date has been announced. Based on production timelines and statements from the creators, fans may need to exercise patience. The first season was greenlit in October 2020 and took three years to produce, partly due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. With production for Season 2 already underway, the timeline is expected to be slightly shorter, but high-quality animation remains time-intensive. Executive Producer Jane Wu and co-creators Michael Green and Amber Noizumi have hinted at a 2026 release window during interviews. Wu noted that the team is working on the first episode, with four of the six episodes already written. Given the complexity of the 2D/3D hybrid animation style, which aims to resemble a 'moving painting,' a 2026 premiere seems realistic. Some reports speculate a late 2025 release, but most evidence points to 2026 as the earliest likely date. Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 Expected Cast The voice cast for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 is expected to feature many returning stars from the first season. Here's a breakdown of the likely cast: Maya Erskine as Mizu : The titular blue-eyed samurai, a half-Japanese, half-white warrior disguised as a man, will continue her vengeance-driven journey. Erskine's performance has been a cornerstone of the series' success. Kenneth Branagh as Abijah Fowler : The Shogun-allied Irish smuggler, spared by Mizu in Season 1, is expected to return as a key antagonist. Masi Oka as Ringo : The loyal, optimistic cook and Mizu's companion is likely to continue his journey alongside her. Brenda Song as Princess Akemi : The strong-willed princess, whose arc intertwined with Mizu's in Season 1, is expected to return. Darren Barnet as Taigen : Mizu's rival-turned-uneasy ally, a proud samurai, is likely to feature prominently. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as The Swordmaker : Mizu's mentor figure is expected to return. Stephanie Hsu as Ise and Ming-Na Wen as Madame Kaji : Both supporting characters are likely to reprise their roles. Harry Shum Jr. as Takayoshi : Another key figure expected to return. Freddie Fox as Poet: A new character introduced for Season 2, though details about whether Poet is a friend or foe remain undisclosed. Plot Details for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 The first season of Blue Eye Samurai ended with a major cliffhanger, setting the stage for a bold new direction in Season 2. Mizu, having confronted and spared Abijah Fowler, learns that her quest for revenge against the three remaining white men who could be her father leads her beyond Japan. The season finale sees Mizu embarking for London, marking a significant shift from the Edo-period Japan setting to Europe, likely England. This change promises to explore how Mizu navigates Western culture and whether her perceptions of Europeans as 'monsters' hold true. Season 2 will consist of six episodes, down from the eight in Season 1, but each episode will average around 44 minutes, ensuring substantial storytelling. The narrative will continue to focus on Mizu's quest for vengeance, with new challenges and enemies emerging as she pursues the remaining traffickers.
