Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have started a diaper brand, Hello Bello, which aims to put out affordable baby products for parents in need.
During a SXSW panel in Austin on Thursday, the couple joked to those in the audience, “Thanks for coming to the diaper panel. Are you sure you want to be here?”
After getting people comfortable with a few laughs, Dax and Kristen started to talk about how much being parents has changed their lives.
Shepard revealed:
Nothing compares to being a dad. It is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. When I have failures in life, I get to come home and still be dad. It is the most transformative experience. You can feel it’s why you are here.
As for Bell? She says she loved being pregnant and loves seeing her kids play together and bond.
But obviously, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are stressful moments in parenting, and when that happens, Bell likes to press the reset button.
I’ve called friends or mom friends that I’ve had in moments of stress, just to come over and diffuse the energy in the house. It could be as simple as that.
Meanwhile, Dax says their home seems to be a safe space for single dads.
I get a lot of calls from dads when their wives are out of town like,’ I have both kids for five days. I need to come over for three of those days completely,’ So, yeah, when the wives are traveling, we seem to have the dads here.
