Kristen Bell Opens Up About Husband Dax Shepard’s Relapse: ‘He’s Doing Really Great’

etcanada.com:

Kristen Bell speaks out about her husband Dax Shepard’s recent relapse announcement during an appearance on Wednesday’s “Ellen DeGeneres Show”.

Shepard revealed he had relapsed with painkillers after being sober for 16 years on a recent episode of his podcast “Armchair Expert”, titled “Day 7”, because he’d been sober for seven days at that point.

Bell tells DeGeneres, “He is actually doing really great. Everybody is up against their own demons. Sometimes it’s anxiety and depression.

Sometimes it’s substance abuse.” The actress continues, “The thing I love most about Dax is that he was able to tell me and tell us and say, ‘We need a different plan.’ We have a plan: if he has to take medication for any reason, I have to administer it.
