Kristen Bell Forgets Her 12th Anniversary, Sparks Controversy with 'Insensitive' Post

Kristen Bell's Marriage Day Slips Her Mind, But Dax Shepard Is a Sweetheart About It!

In a hilarious and cringe-worthy moment that has left fans giggling, Kristen Bell had to be reminded by a red carpet reporter that her 12th wedding anniversary with husband Dax Shepard was just around the corner. The actress, known for her sassy humor and wit, seemed completely oblivious to the special occasion until the journalist dropped the bombshell.

At the season two premiere of her Netflix show "Nobody Wants This," Kristen was caught off guard when an Entertainment Tonight reporter brought up the pending anniversary date. With a sheepish grin, she replied, "The beginning of the weekend?" before quickly realizing her mistake and exclaiming, "Oh, my God! It's my anniversary!"

Dressed in a daring red Alex Perry dress that left little to the imagination, Kristen shared that she and Dax were planning a romantic date night to celebrate their 12-year milestone. However, it seems they're not exactly the most organized couple when it comes to remembering special dates.

"I'm so glad you told me," Kristen gushed, thanking the reporter for reminding her of the occasion. When asked if she was embarrassed about forgetting their anniversary, she playfully shot back, "You know I don't remember that. We're just not great with dates."

But what's even more adorable is that Dax Shepard isn't exactly one to hold grudges or keep track of their wedding date either! In a joint interview, Kristen revealed that her husband has a wicked sense of humor and once joked about not killing her – which might sound dark, but in the context of their playful banter, it's just a funny quip.

To celebrate their 12-year anniversary, Kristen took to Instagram to share an intimate photo with Dax. In the caption, she revealed the "promise" he made to her all those years ago: "I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would."

While some fans appreciated the sweet gesture and Kristen's humor, others were less than impressed – especially considering it was Domestic Violence Awareness Month. One user commented, "That's a wildly sad and insensitive thing to say... considering it's domestic violence awareness month and thousands of women have died at the hands of the man they trusted."

Meanwhile, the folks over at Dateline, an investigative journalism show that covers sensationalized murders, couldn't resist poking fun at Kristen's caption with a cheeky comment: "Screenshotted."

But amidst all the drama and romance, it's clear that Kristen and Dax are still going strong. In her Netflix show, Kristen plays Joanne, an irreverent woman who falls for a charming rabbi named Noah (played by Adam Brody). When asked about her on-screen chemistry with co-star Adam, Kristen revealed that she and Dax "root" for each other's love scenes – even if they're not exactly the most conventional or steamy.

When Dax got to make out with Minka Kelly on Parenthood, Kristen was totally supportive, saying, "Yes. Get it." And when her husband had to kiss Adam Brody in their show, Kristen assured fans that there was no real chemistry between them – much to the relief of many a devoted fan!

As for what's next for this power couple? With two kids and a combined net worth of over $100 million, they're likely to keep on charming audiences with their wit, humor, and undeniable love for each other. After all, as Kristen so aptly put it, "We're married; we're not dead!"
