Dax Shepard found an uncanny way to celebrate his wife Kristen Bell’s Emmy Nomination. And perhaps their clothes were not invited to the party.
The 44-year-old actress scored her first Emmy nomination for her performance in the popular Netflix series Nobody Wants This.
“Oh my God, Dax,” actress Gwyneth Paltrow exclaimed in the comments of Dax’s photo, marking the milestone moment.

Kristen’s nomination for the Best Comedy Actress category at the 2025 Emmys was announced earlier this month.
She shares the coveted category with fellow stars Uzo Aduba for The Residence, Quinta Brunson for Abbott Elementary, Ayo Edebiri for The Bear, and Jean Smart for Hacks.
“Most sentimental tribute ever posted by a proud husband!” read a fan comment online

In the acclaimed series Nobody Wants This, Kristen plays the role of Joanne, who unexpectedly falls in love with a rabbi named Noah, played by Adam Brody.
Her husband, Dax, celebrated the Emmy nomination by sharing a photo of her without any clothes on, except for the blue socks on her feet.

The actress appeared to be doing the downward dog position while basking in the sun in their backyard.
“People might not know everything that happens behind the scenes in order to create an Emmy nominated performance like Kristen’s,” the comedian wrote in the caption.
“This may or may not have been a part of her training, but it felt right. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!” he added.
Dax and Kristen struck up a romance in 2007 and have been married since 2013.
The actor spoke about his wife’s Emmy-nominated role in Nobody Wants This and the chemistry she shared with her co-star Adam, who is married to Leighton Meester and shares two children with her.

While appearing on the panel at the New Yorker Film Festival in 2024, Dax was asked about the “incredible chemistry” he shares with his wife.
“Not as good as her and Brody,” he joked.

He claimed Kristen and Adam’s onscreen kiss was the “very best kissing scene ever, ever put on film.”
“And my best friend, Aaron, from childhood, he goes, ‘Does she ever kiss you like that?’ No, I didn’t even know she could kiss like that,” he quipped.

The Veronica Mars actress also acknowledged Dax’s appreciation for her onscreen chemistry with her co-star.
“Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, ‘Whoa, that’s hot,’” she told E! News last October.
“I want you to kiss him so badly,” Dax told Kristen after seeing her onscreen chemistry with Adam Brody
“My husband said the same thing,” she continued. “Watching the first episode he was like, ‘Oh my God, I want you to kiss him so badly.’”
No matter how the chemistry is with their onscreen co-stars, Kristen said nothing will come in the way of the “foundational trust” she has with her years-long husband.

“Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he’s committed to our family,” she told E! News in February.
“I know he’s coming home. I know he loves our children. I know he strives to be a great husband and father,” she added.

She also said Dax knows “there’s no real threat” with Adam.
“If you were to see us in person, there is not chemistry,” she said about her onscreen flame. “We bicker all the time. We’re like an old granny and grampy. It’s not hot and heavy on set at all.”
