John Stamos Reveals to Dax Shepard That His Agent Tried to Set Him Up With Kristen Bell: I Was ‘Too F–king Old’
usmagazine.comWhat could have been. During a conversation with Dax Shepard, John Stamos revealed that his agent once tried to set him up with the podcast host’s wife — Kristen Bell.“I was freshly divorced [from ex-wife Rebecca Romijn], there was some award show or party or after-party or something,” the Full House alum, 59, recalled on the Monday, November 15 episode of 47-year-old Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast. “And my press agent, Lewis K., says, ‘There’s this girl that wants to meet you.
You gotta meet her. She’s into theater, she’s fun, you guys will be great together.’ It was Kristen.”After meeting Bell, 42, Stamos decided that while they got along really well, their relationship would never work. “I said, ‘She’s so adorable, she’s so great, I’m way the f–k too old,'” he joked. “I just was so lofty and thought, ‘I’m old.'”Shepard, for his part, wasn’t bothered about learning that the Frozen star could have ended up with the Grandfathered alum, pointing out that Bell was older than Stamos’ wife, Caitlin McHugh. “[Kristen] is five years younger than me, so she’d be 17 years younger than you,” the Parenthood alum explained. “So that would be less than your current [partner].”After joking that he “got over” his concerns about being with a younger woman, Stamos explained that he approaches his relationship with the model, 36, differently than in his past relationships. “When I met my wife now, I said, ‘I’m gonna put 100 percent into this.’ If it doesn’t work, fine, but at least I know that road,” the California native said. “Being in the moment is exhausting, but it’s so great.”Stamos and McHugh met while working on Law & Order: SVU in 2016 and the Big Shot star popped the question one year later in October 2017.
