The Good Place actress Kristen Bell and her husband, Parenthood actor Dax Shepard, are about as candid as a Hollywood couple can get. From openly discussing their marriage counselling, to Dax’s issues with sobriety, the pair are determined to not sugarcoat their celebrity life.
The same goes for their parenting style.
Although they are careful about showing the faces of their daughters, Lincoln, five and Delta, three, the pair still manage to share their parenthood journey with their fans on social media.
From talking worms, to the time that Shepard helped Bell with her mastitis by drinking her breast milk, the comedic pair have amassed a legion of dedicated followers waiting with baited breath for the next parenting instalment.
Here’s some of our favourite moments from these parenting legends …

Shepard and Bell have developed a tag-team system of parenting, tapping out when they need to know, safe in the knowledge that the other will take over for them. Bell told People: “We switch kids all the time. [If] I’m talking to the [two-year-old] and I’m done, I’ll just be like, ‘We’ve got to switch. I don’t want to talk to this kid anymore.” Image:Instagram/KristenAnnieBell
Toys
Bell proves that even celebrity kids can break a parent, captioning this raw, real image with,”This is a picture of both the floor of my house and the interior of my brain.” Image: Instagram/KristenAnnieBell

Shepard was always going to be a great dad, proudly boasting that not even nappies fazed him. Shepard explained, “I was older when my little sister was born, so I had done this before,” he said. “I had changed a couple thousand diapers already a couple million times, so I wasn’t too afraid of [fatherhood], and it’s been nothing but wonderful.” Image: Instagram/DaxShepard

They’re open and honest with their kids. In an interview with Hello Giggles, Bell explained, “They asked about sex, we said there’s a penis. There’s a vagina. There’s an ovum. There’s ejaculate. They combine. There’s DNA. Then you grow in my belly.” Image: Instagram/KristenAnnieBell
Hands
Bell is always happy to share a parent hack. By asking their kids to put their hands on the circle of the fuel tank on the side of their car, they keep their girls safe in carparks.

Would do it again today, and any day in the future.” Image: Instagram/KristenAnnieBell
