Kristen Bell 'regretful' she didn’t date more before settling down with Dax Shepard

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been happily together for almost 18 years, but Kristen admitted she wish she’d been a tad more experienced before they became an item.

The 45-year-old actress - who tied the knot with the podcaster in October 2013 - is "a little regretful" about her lack of dating experience before she settled down with her spouse.

Kristen made the admission as she appeared on Dax's “Armchair Expert” podcast with her “Nobody Wants This" co-star Justine Lupe.

Justine told Dax and his co-host Monica Padman, "I didn't have a lot of like long-term relationships. I kind of did like six months, three months, like all through my 20s back-to-back."

Dax replied, "Kristen is a little regretful. She was very active. She was very sexually active, and she wishes she was even more sexually active."

Kristen chimed in, saying, "I just wish I butterflied around a little bit more."

Monica then quizzed the “Frozen” star - who has daughters Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 10, with her spouse - as to how active she was, with Dax giving a scale where zero was "virgin and 10 is sex worker."

She replied, "Four. And I just wish I maybe would have gone six."

Kristen credited her 50-year-old husband for having “brought out a ton of [her] sexuality,” adding, “I was never this sexual before you.”

Meanwhile, Kristen previously revealed that she tries to set a positive example for her kids when it comes to arguing with her husband.

She told People magazine, "We always make up in front of them if anyone gets snarky or frustrated or fights, which we all do. We do not have the makeup, our conflict resolution, be behind closed doors. Even if at dinner, let's say, one of us is frustrated and is a little snarky and then we go to bed. We'll apologize to each other the next morning. Then we will apologize and make amends to each other in front of the kids so that they can see how conflict resolution actually happens."
