Bell sported a baggy white shirt with blue prints, while Shepard wore a printed black tee. The former bore a makeup-free look -- showing off her blemish-free skin.

The "Employee of the Month" actor was holding a deep plate filled with food with his right hand, and both were holding a spoon each.

"When your man brings up a healthy, perfectly sauced late night snack - unprompted-with TWO spoons…KEEP HIM 💕" Bell captioned the post.

Longtime Sweethearts

Bell and Shepard have been together for 11 years now, and they are one of the few Hollywood couples that stood the test of time. They tied the knot in October 2013, making them seven years married. They have two daughters, Lincoln Shepard, 8, and Delta Bell Shepard, 6.

The couple first met in 2007 at a mutual friend's dinner party. Bell told Today that she didn't know who Shepard was at the time.

"The only thing I remember is that he talked so much," Bell said. "I was like, 'This guy can talk.' And then I didn't know who he was. I'm like, 'Maybe is that one of the guys from 'Jackass' or something?'"

How It All Started

Unlike other pairs, it was not a case of love at first sight for Bell and Shepard, but everything changed during their second meeting.

"Two weeks later, we both met at a hockey game," the actress recalled. "We are both from Detroit and Red Wings fans. And we saw each other at the hockey game. Started to flirt. Left. And then a day after that I get a text that says, 'Hi, my name is Dax. I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?' And I was like, 'Excuse me? You sound stimulating.'"

Full Of Love

Like any other married couple, the two have experienced plenty of highs and lows during their relationship. Late last year, they got candid about Shepard's relapse after 16 years of sobriety from alcohol and drugs on the actor's podcast. The actor admitted that he got addicted to Vicodin after doctors prescribed the painkiller after his motorcycle accident surgery in August.

Shepard told listeners that he took eight 30-milligram pills of Vicodin every day without anyone knowing that he was getting addicted to the drug.

"I know that's an amount that's going to result in a pretty bad withdrawal. And I start getting really scared, and I'm starting to feel really lonely. And I just have this enormous secret," he said.

With love and determination, the couple made it through that difficult time.

According to Bell, her husband is "addicted to growth" -- one of the main reasons why she stood by him, adding that "he's very, very worth it."
