Kristen Bell Recalls Smelly Mishap In The Bedroom She Shares With Husband, Kids

Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, and their two daughters all sleep in the same bedroom. The couple, who don't shy away from opening up about their parenting choices, recently made the revelation during Shepard's podcast, "Armchair Expert".

"You know the girls sleep on the floor of our bedroom," Bell, 41, said, of daughters Lincoln, 8, and Delta, 7, adding that as a family they watch "How It's Made" before hitting the sack, per ET Online.

But, a few nights ago, there seemed to be a "really raunchy smell" coming from the bedroom they all sleep in. "I go, 'OK, my family has gas, big D,'" Bell recalled. "I wake up in the morning and I go, 'Wow, nobody's gas has dissipated, but it also smells like it's burning.'"

The smell still lingered, so the "Frozen" star left all the windows opened and washed the sheets, hoping that would make the stench go away, but it just didn't.

"Now, Delta, the little one, she is smell sensitive," Bell shared of her youngest. "So she goes, 'You know what, I do smell it.' Lincoln and Dax can't be bothered, so Delta and I are, well, being gaslit."

Shepard then shared that his daughters kept checking the room over and again, to see if any of their several pets had pooped in the room, but they found nothing, yet again.

Then, the "Bad Moms" star decided to take a whiff of their mattress, and she immediately realized that was the problem. "I lean down and smell the mattress, Dax's corner, his feet corner of the mattress, and I almost hit the deck," Bell said. "I almost passed out it was so strong."

Finally, the pair realized that their mattress pad which needs to be filled with water, had, in fact, been accidentally filled by Shepard with an old protein shake.

This is not the first time the actor has shared that they all sleep in one room together. During an interview with Self Magazine in March 2020, Bell explained why she chooses to share the bedroom as a family instead of just giving her kids a room of their own.

“I think their lives will be easier than most other people’s on the planet, and to develop a good character, it’s important to always be going through something,” the "Good Place" alum explained to the magazine in March 2020.

“I like the fact that they will have to figure out how to share a bedroom. Figure out how to share your closet. Figure out how to share your space. If that’s the worst thing about your life, that you have to share a bedroom with your sister, you’re going to be okay,” she added.
