Dax Shepard talks about the girl he dated before marrying Kristen Bell – It seems like there’s a lot more the couple’s fans don’t know!
“Dax Shepard Says He ‘Dated’ Ashley Olsen, Recalls Being ‘Thunderstruck’ by Her Beauty”, People Tweeted.
On the latest episode of Armchair Expert, Dax Shepard 47 revealed to the co-host, Monica Padman, that “I dated Ashley Olsen” before Kristen Bell.
During his podcast, the dad of two confessed and detailed the pre-Kristen relationship he had with the former actress and fashion designer.
While stating that they made “a pretty weird pairing”, Shepard acknowledged the fact that “Olsen is actually just super funny and sarcastic and intelligent.”
The American actor and comedian also recalled the time when he first met with Olsen as he said, “I was kind of thunderstruck with the beauty”.
The dating topic came about when Dax Shepard discussed Olsen’s new clothing line, ‘The Row’, which the former actress started back in 2006 with her sister Mary-Kate Olsen.
“She’s just the most wonderful person. She’s fantastic,” said Shepard about his former love.
Shepard enthusiastically talked about Olsen’s interest in fashion and said “When we were dating, it was when she was putting all her energy and focus into launching that in a big way.”
“So, I was able to see her meet with design teams and, like, run her s— and she handled her B, and it’s very impressive.”
Shepard felt like, “Olsen sisters are f—ing major bosses.”
On the show, Shepard also revealed that he hadn’t watched ‘Full House’ in which Olsen played the role of a child when he first met her. However, if he had watched it, ‘it would be difficult to start a relationship with her’, Shepard said.
“I luckily never saw that show,” he stated. “Because I probably wouldn’t have been able to be attracted to Ashley if I knew her as a baby.”
He further opened up about how he and Olsen bonded over their mutual love for cars. The daddy of two girls said, ‘Ashley owned a black Cadillac DeVille DTS’ when she was dating him.
“I wouldn’t mind reconnecting with her to find out if she has that DTS,” said Shepard of his old love.
Later in 2013, Shepard married Kristen Bell, and the couple currently share two daughters, Delta 7 and Lincoln 8.
In an interview in 2021, Kristen Bell made a ‘stinky’ revelation saying, she waits for the kids to stink before she bathes them.
