Dax Shepard has been happily married to Kristen Bell for over a decade, but his podcast just took fans on a tour of his famous exes, and the confessions are revealing. The Armchair Expert host revisited his 2007 fling with Kate Hudson, a fast, intense romance where he admitted he felt“less than”around her, and his mid-2000s relationship with Ashley Olsen, who he praises as a boss for her drive while launching The Row.
Most striking is his October 2025 reunion with ex-girlfriend Briegh Morrison, who dated him long-term before Bell. During that conversation, Shepard admitted he once feared he’d never love anyone the way he loved her, while Morrison recalled the breakup derailing her plans to have kids with him. It’s a rare, unfiltered look at celebrity dating history, served up by the guy living it.
The rest of the story is the happy ending fans know: Shepard and Bell met at a dinner party in 2007, got engaged in 2009, married in 2013, and share daughters Lincoln and Delta. He says they butt heads over parenting their teens but never scream or swear at each other. Have you ever stayed friends with a serious ex? Tell us in the comments.
