Kristen Bell Celebrates Dax Shepard’s Sobriety With Touching Tribute
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are not only one of the funniest couples in Hollywood, but they're also one of the sweetest. So when Dax celebrated his 14th year of sobriety on Saturday (September 1), his wife couldn't be prouder of him.
While the Frozen star is known for making us laugh, her recent Instagram post about Dax's sobriety birthday will definitely bring you to tears. "I'm so proud that you have never been ashamed of your story," she captioned a series of photos of Dax and the family, "but instead shared it widely, with the hope it might inspire someone else to become the best version of themselves."
She also wrote, "You never fail to make amends, or say sorry when its needed. You are always available to guide me, and all of our friends, with open ears and tough love when its needed most."
Meanwhile Dax was over the moon that his wife surprised him with the best present ever -- a tour of the King's Hawaiian bread factory!

The couple has been open about Dax's substance abuse in the past. And Kristen has also gotten candid about her husband's road to recovery and how it has inspired her as well.
“Seeing the world through his eyes has really opened mine to knowing that it is a disease and nobody is choosing to drink more than others,” she told People in 2016. “They are doing it because of a variety of reasons and they deserve the attention of a mental health professional, and not the county jail or however else we’re choosing to pretend we’re fixing the problem.”
