Kristen has been singing since she was five and it had always been her life’s dream to be a performer. She credits her huge success to luck and being in the right places as she feels like she doesn’t deserve the height she has attained though she later admits that she is a hardworking Michigan-born human. Before she clocked 25, the Veronica Mars (2004 – 2007) actress already had a resume that most seasoned performers would envy.
Date of Birth: July 18, 1980
Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Bell says she always thinks ‘if I’m on my deathbed, what thoughts would be crossing my mind’. She figured that more than the many random movies she has featured in or some great TV shows; her family would definitely be the first. For this reason she has placed her loved ones above whatever height she can or has gotten to in her career. The mother-of-two is deliberately enjoying her life and this is not difficult to see as she literally has a positive persona always. Read on to know all about the birth family of this pretty actress and her new growing family.

On June 26, 2013, the section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act fell and Bell asked Dax to marry her on twitter and he gladly accepted. Bell said her October 2013 wedding was in the tiny Clerk Office on the Beverly Hills Countryside yet that day still remains one of the best days of her life.
According to the Bad Moms (2016) actress, she has a very healthy marriage thanks to their frequent therapy sessions. Like every other couple, they did not start off on a perfect note, in fact, the early years of their union was filled with several arguments and fights but they gradually learned on the job and today, the fun-loving duo are perfect for themselves and are the best parents any child could ask for. Dax is in addition to being an actor, a writer, a director and a TV host.

Kristen Bell children
Lincoln Bell Shepard (daughter with Dax Shepard)
Date of Birth: March 28, 2013
Zodiac Sign: Aries
She was born some months before her parents got hitched. The Bell-Shepard parents do not see any reason why their children’s identities should be in the open as it was not their decision to become public figures. They have been very vocal about this choice and the paparazzo now knows to stay away from this family.
Delta Bell Shepard (daughter with Dax Shepard)
Date of Birth: December 19, 2014
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
The Good Place (2016 – present) star is now a mother of two lovely daughters and she is doing her best to soak in every moment she gets to spend with her daughters. They have maximum fun as a family every now and then but most of it is kept within the family as they are ridiculously private parents
