He is scheming his thoughts.
Dax Shepard wasn’t offended when Cher said in an interview that Kristen Bell deserved a better husband.
Shepard said in an interview with Access Hollywood at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards Sunday that she and Bell “were hoping” that Cher would have such an opinion.
“That’s why you love Cher. There’s nothing better than that,” he added.
The “Hit and Run” actor explained that he and his wife thought Cher’s comments were “hysterical.”
He also said on Sunday’s “Entertainment Tonight” that Cher’s passionate take on marriage was “very good.”
“It was great, so we just left it at that,” he said, later joking that Bell handed her divorce papers after hearing Cher’s idea.
Shepard believes the “Believe” singer’s words were taken too seriously by the public.
“The Internet is a dangerous place,” he said.
Last week, Cher appeared on Shepard’s podcast, Armchair Expert, and spoke with Shepard, co-host Monica Padman, and his wife.
Shepard asked Cher who she thought would be Bell’s “dream partner” and explained, “Because I know you think she’s better, and I don’t disagree with that.”
Cher, 79, didn’t answer, but admitted: “Actually, I trust her, so there must be something about you that I don’t see.”
Shepard agreed with the pop icon, saying she “understands that no one is good enough” for Bell.
But Shepard told Cher that she was not intimidated by Bell’s success, saying: “[I]love her. The more she shines, the better.”
Bell interjected her thoughts on her relationship with Shepard, describing him as a “slow burn” and someone who was “almost too good” for her.
Cher praised Shepard’s parenting skills. He and Bell have two daughters, Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 11.
“You seem like a good father,” Cher said.
Belle and Cher have known each other since filming Burlesque in 2010.
Bell, 45, and Shepherd, 51, were engaged at the time. They married in 2013.
Shepard and Bell’s relationship became a hot topic after the “Frozen” voice actor made a tone-deaf comment on their wedding anniversary last October.
“Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me, ‘I will never kill you. Many men have killed their wives at some point. I have a strong motive to kill you, but I will never.’ ❤️,” she wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
She was criticized by internet users for posting the message during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Bell did not respond to the backlash, but a video resurfaced of Shepherd joking about punching Bell.
