Kristen Bell's Husband Dax Shepherd Celebrates Her Emmy Award Nomination With Nude Photo Of Her

Kristen Bell recently scored another milestone in her career, bagging an Emmy Award nomination. But so far, it isn’t only the achievement that has grabbed attention.

Following the news, the actress’s husband, Dax Shepard, marked the milestone in a way only he could. Instead of a typical congratulatory message or a throwback from her red carpet appearances, the actor posted a completely unexpected nude photo of Bell in their home.

The bold celebration instantly went viral, with fans flooding the comments, equally stunned and delighted by the playful tribute.

Shepard is making the deadlines after celebrating his wife Kristen Bell’s Emmy nod in the most shocking way.

On Tuesday, the podcast host took to his Instagram page to share a nude photo of the 44-year-old wearing only knee-high blue socks.

Bell, who bagged a nomination for her role in the Netflix hit series “Nobody Wants This,” appeared to be doing yoga as she posed in a downward dog position with her left leg lifted.

Shepard placed a red modesty box over her bottom to ensure she wasn’t entirely exposed.

“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!!!!” he captioned the post.

In no time, the raunchy upload amassed thousands of likes and comments. Many fans thought the post was funny and dropped messages, commenting on her perceived athleticism.

“Compression socks. Much needed considering the arc and blood flow. Great form and even more amazing uniform! 2026 Olympic ready,” one fan wrote.

Another funny user shared, “Similar to Superman, she gets her powers from the sun. But the catch is it only works through perineum sunning.”

A third fan commented, “Best way to get vitamin D. Dr told me the best way to get the most out of sunshine is to be naked. True story.”

A fourth user gushed over Shepard’s love for his wife, noting, “I hope when I’m married my husband is this level proud of me. I would be so happy. PS flaunt it and enjoy it. All of it!!!”

Hours before her husband’s tribute, Bell also shared her reaction to receiving the news of her Emmy nomination.

The comedian shared two photos on her Instagram page, showing her on Zoom with the “Nobody Wants This” creator, Erin Foster, as they worked on an ADR session for the series’ second season.

In one of the pictures, both women had their mouths open in excitement after hearing the news.

In the second slide, the Hollywood star photographed Foster, who was in tears upon receiving the news that she also bagged an Emmy nomination for the series.

“Finding out I was nominated for an Emmy - finding out @erinfoster was nominated for an Emmy,” Bell simply captioned the post.

Kristen Bell’s recognition came in the category for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This.”

Besides Foster and Bell, the official Instagram page of the series also announced that lead actor Adam Brody was nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series thanks to his portrayal of Rabbi Noah Roklov.

“Everybody wants this kind of love. Thank you to the Television Academy for honoring Nobody Wants This with 3 Emmy Award nominations including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress - Kristen Bell, and Outstanding Lead Actor - Adam Brody!” the post’s caption read.

“Nobody Wants This” follows the life of Joanne, played by Bell, who hosts a podcast about dating and relationships.

She is outspoken, funny, and not particularly religious. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Noah, a kind and thoughtful rabbi, at a dinner party.

They feel an instant connection, but their worlds are very different. Joanne’s free‑spirited lifestyle clashes with Noah’s strong faith and family expectations.

Throughout the season, the show explored how they tried to make their relationship work despite these differences.

In October 2024, Netflix renewed the show for a second season, just weeks after it premiered to much fanfare. The new season is expected to premiere on October 23, 2025.
