Dax Shepard shuts down wild rumour about marriage to Kristen Bell

It's not true!

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell have shut down rumours they were at the centre of during the season five premiere of The Drew Barrymore Show

"There was the most exciting tabloid story that we were Hollywood swingers, and we hosted swing parties; this was in the tabloids," Shepard recalled.

"My favourite part of that happening was we got a lot of texts from other friends of ours saying, 'How could you not have invited me to the swinger party?'"

Shepard added it was, "teasing, of course, because they know us and they know we are not hosting swinger parties." Though he did play along. 

"I just thought that was great to receive a text from [Jimmy] Kimmel saying, 'My feelings are quite hurt that Molly [McNearney, his wife] and I weren't invited to this swingers party,'" Shepard said with a laugh. "[It] was very funny."

Barrymore then asked if there was any truth to the rumours, wondering if he or Bell had "Anyone that you two do fantasise about getting in bed with?"

"There's a lot of hot couples out there, but no, we have not crossed that divide with anyone," he said, before joking, "You know who we are most in love with? We're in love with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen."

"Oh my God, they are so dreamy as a couple," he continued.

"You just kind of want to be in their marriage. It's not so much that Kristen even wants to bring me along or I want to bring her along - you just want to be in their marriage." 

Bell and Shepard have one of the most enduring Hollywood relationships. They met in 2007 and have been married for more than a decade. 

Together they share two daughters, Lincoln, 10, and Delta, eight.
