Every so often, the entertainment industry produces adorable couples that you can't help
but love.
But unfortunately, everything has an expiration date — even the nauseatingly adorable romance
between Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.
Here's why Hollywood is totally over this celeb duo.
You can't escape them
Bell was once a plucky cult favorite on shows like Veronica Mars and Heroes.
But all that changed once Bell was cast in Disney's mega-hit Frozen.
Suddenly, Bell had gone mainstream, and since then, she's been just about everywhere — from
movies like The Boss and Bad Moms to TV shows like The Good Place.
And it's the same for her husband, who jumped from the hit series Parenthood to the big
screen with CHiPs, which he seemed to be promoting in the media for years on end.
No matter where you look, one or both of them always seem to be in your face.
“You almost didn’t cast me, Dax.
Can you explain this?”
“Yeah, you are, on a cellular level, likeable.
It’s nauseating, in fact.
It’s hard to stand next to you.”
Art imitates life
Since getting together, Bell and Shepard have made a habit out of replicating their off
screen romance in movies and on television.
In films like When in Rome, Hit and Run, CHiPs, and the Veronica Mars movie, the pair have
played couples, lovers, and other people who pretty much want to kiss and hug and make
gooey eyes at each other.
While it's not hard to understand the appeal of working with your significant other, it's
a little exhausting to constantly see the pair side by side.
We get it, guys: you love each other.
Get a room.
They overshare
From social media to sit-down interviews, Bell and Shepard don't seem to have a filter
when it comes to letting the public in on their life together.
While they generally keep their anecdotes PG, they talk ad nauseam about their relationship
and their life with kids, liberally tossing in stories about vasectomies, breast feeding,
and butt shaving.
"I don't know why, I think she had some nervous energy going, but while she was trimming it,
she was humming [Funky Town tune].”
And Bell told Jimmy Kimmel she feels no shame sharing this stuff with the world.
"I think it makes everything a little lighter and brighter when you can be cool about your
embarrassing stories, so there are very few things I think that I’d ever say like, ‘Oh,
please don’t tell that story.”
Allow us to say it for you, then: please, don't tell that story!
Unafraid of PDA
There's nothing wrong with showing a little love.
But sometimes people take it just a little too far.
Bell and Shepard are often guilty of smooching on the red carpet, making other people uncomfortable
by making out in public places.
They don't keep their penchant for affection to just themselves either — the pair even
shared kisses with a fellow couple for a very friendly Christmas photo.
Look, we appreciate gestures like the matching Game of Thrones shirts and tattoos they donned
for the show's 2016 premiere.
We just don't appreciate it quite as much when we have to watch them re-enacting the
Battle of Winterfell with their tongues.
They're so normal it seems fake
The rich and famous are known to get a little eccentric after a while, whether it's the
antics of Kim and Kanye, or simply buying a miniature giraffe.
"Mwah!"
And then there's Bell and Shepard, who seem so incredibly normal with their public spats
about how to arrange their living room furniture, or their Settlers of Catan after-party at
the Golden Globes.
After all, what parent couldn't relate to the experience of accidentally teaching your
kid a naughty word?
“And Lincoln’s in her room trying to get a sweatshirt off, she’s like three.
And her arms are all bound up in it, and she’s getting frustrated, and she goes, ‘Oh, f***!”
Ironically, some people might find all this normalcy to be a little too much.
Are they really just like you?
Or are they just faking it?
At least they have that sloth thing to make them seem kind of weird.
We all want to be them
Ultimately, Hollywood is simply sick of Bell and Shepard because, let's be honest, they're
too perfect.
We all just want to be them.
All it takes is one quick glance at the couple to tell that they're meant to be — and really,
who wouldn't want to be a part of such a silly, fulfilling, adorable relationship?
Bell admits that, if she could, she'd do everything with her husband because she genuinely likes
spending time with him — and she doesn't care who's watching.
She told Moviefone, "I would do everything together.
I'm not sitting in the audience of my life.
I'm not watching how I'm being perceived, I'm not tracking how I'm being perceived.
[...] I just care much more about being happy on a day-to-day basis, so I want to be with
and work with my husband."
You have to admit their love is one for the books — even if their cuteness does make
you a little queasy.
