Dax Shepard shocks fans by posting NSFW picture of wife Kristen Bell in compromising position

Dax Shepard has shocked many of his fans by posting an NSFW picture of his wife Kristen Bell to his four million Instagram followers.

Bell and Shepard have been married since October 2013, and have been an item for 17 years - so it's safe to say they are pretty committed to one another.

And the pair are now celebrating Bell's 2025 Emmy Awards nomination of Outstanding Actress for her role in comedy series. Nobody Wants This.

To mark the occasion, Shepard posted a snap of Bell nude in a comprising position wearing just a pair of bright blue knee-high socks in her back garden.

Sensitive areas had been censored out, but that doesn't take away the shocking value of the Instagram post according to some fans.

Captioning the post, Shepard wrote: "People might not know everything that happens behind the scenes in order to create an Emmy nominated performance like Kristen’s. This may or may not have been a part of her training, but it felt right. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!"

Many have flocked the comments section of the Instagram post in disbelief that such a photo would be posted.

Gwyneth Paltrow penned: "Oh my God, Dax." A second joked: "She's not naked people.... she CLEARLY has socks on! God forbid a girl have a hobby."

While a third remarked: "When you want to feel free, but your toes still aren’t ready for that level of commitment."

Nobody Wants This did seemingly have Shepard a little jealous with the one-screen chemistry his wife had with one particular co-star.

Adam Brody's and Bell's characters build up quite the romantic spark in the romantic comedy series, something Shepard was asked about during the New Yorker Festival shortly after the show's release.

As per People, Shepard was asked about the 'incredible chemistry' he has with his wife, which led to a rather unexpected answer from the actor and comedian.

"Not as good as her and Brody," Shepard told surprised reporters.

Speaking of a kiss shared between his wife and Brody's character on screen, Shepard added: "My friend ... we watched that scene together, the kissing scene, which I'd argue is the very best kissing scene ever, ever put on film.

"And my best friend, Aaron, from childhood, he goes, 'Does she ever kiss you like that?' No, I didn't even know she could kiss like that."

While it may have put Shepard in a bit of an awkward position, Nobody Wants This certainly hit the spot with fans.
