À propos de cet audio
Dax Shepard has had a notably busy and revealing week and proved, once again, how unfiltered he remains both in the media and with his fans. The biggest headline emerged after Dax shared details about a recent medical scare on his Armchair Expert podcast, recounting how he had to go to the emergency room after being unable to urinate, developing a high fever and worrying his wife Kristen Bell that it might be sepsis. According to Hello! magazine, doctors had to insert a catheter and Dax described the process on air with his typical candor, not sparing the gory details although he did admit the enforced rest meant binging all eight episodes of House of Guinness. He joked about the inconvenience but showed genuine vulnerability, discussing past injuries and how hospital stays have affected his sobriety journey.
On the business front, Dax continues to be focused on Armchair Expert, which remains one of the most downloaded celebrity interview podcasts. Just this week, new episodes dropped including Mom’s Car with Nate Tuck and Armchair Anonymous: Moving, further cementing his legacy as a podcasting staple, according to Wondery and iHeart. His shows remain popular, regularly trending on Apple and Spotify, and attracting high-profile guests like Timothy Olyphant and Andy Roddick.
Social media lit up following Dax’s medical revelation, with fans expressing concern and admiration for his openness about health scares and sobriety. There was also a sweet viral moment after he appeared as Kristen Bell’s emotional support makeup artist backstage at the 2025 SAG Awards, with adorable photos making rounds online and People magazine covering the story. The couple’s dynamic and eleven-year marriage was praised for its open communication and foundational trust, with Kristen even speaking openly on E! News about how they manage on-set intimacy and family priorities.
Dax’s family life was also in the spotlight—Let Grow reported that he and Kristen Bell let their kids loose for a seven-hour “free-range” day, sparking debates on parenting boards and earning both applause and raised eyebrows.
In a significant gesture for the future, Dax announced on his podcast with neuroscientist Christopher Nowinski that he’s committed to donating his brain to science for CTE research, joining the ranks of athletes and actors raising awareness for traumatic brain injury. This move, highlighted by AOL, signals a proactive approach to legacy beyond entertainment.
Financially, Dax’s net worth—when combined with Kristen Bell’s—was recently estimated by NABP Blog to be around sixty million dollars, a figure that ensures the pair maintains their Hollywood power couple status though Dax, according to Parade, is increasingly behind the scenes and unlikely to return to acting any time soon.
With ongoing podcast launches, candid revelations, and genuine moments with his family, Dax Shepard’s last few days have been illustrative of a new kind of celebrity: open, relatable, and unafraid to be a little messy in public for the sake of real connection.
