Oh, Kristen Bell, queen of the “relatable” overshare, just dropped a bombshell that’s got everyone side-eyeing her therapy-session vibes on hubby Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. While spilling tea with Nobody Wants This co-star Justine Lupe, the 44-year-old confessed she wishes she’d been a wilder ride in her 20s—rating her sex life a measly “4” out of 10 and pining for a “6.” Because nothing screams “deep reflection” like quantifying hookups on a scale from virgin to sex worker. Is this genuine soul-searching or just promo fodder for Netflix’s upcoming sapphic rom-com glow-up? Either way, Bell’s turning her “what if” fantasies into viral cringe, proving some regrets are better left in the diary.

Podcast Confessions: From Sisters on Screen to Sex Talk Off-Screen

Bell and Lupe, who play podcast-hosting sisters in the hit Netflix series Nobody Wants This (think The Good Place meets forbidden romance), flipped the script on Shepard’s pod, becoming the ones grilled in the hot seat. It started innocently enough—or as innocent as Bell’s TMI gets—with Shepard probing their 20s escapades. “On a scale of 1 to 10, how sexually active were you?” he asked, clarifying: 1 is virgin, 10 is basically a pro.

Bell, ever the candid one, clocked herself at a “4,” then hit us with the kicker: “I just wish I maybe would have gone six.” Lupe? Smugly owning her “6” like it’s a badge of honor. High-fives ensued, because why not celebrate mediocrity in the sack? Bell elaborated, “She was very sexually active… I just wish I butterflied around a little bit more.” Butterflied? Honey, if that’s code for “I was too vanilla,” own it—don’t make us visualize your awkward college flings. Shepard chuckled along, but let’s be real: This family’s all about that raw, unfiltered “vulnerability” that feels more like eavesdropping on a couples’ retreat gone wrong.

The Regret Rating: Bell’s “Butterfly” Blues and Lupe’s Smirk

At 4? That’s basically “occasional missionary with the lights off” territory—hardly the scandalous youth we’d expect from the woman who voiced a foul-mouthed animated sloth in Central Intelligence. Bell admitted age has mellowed them: “We’ve gotten a lot older and it’s evident. Yeah, we’ve changed a ton, but for the better.” Sure, Jan—nothing says “better” like regretting not racking up more notches while married to a podcasting heartthrob like Shepard. Lupe, playing the cool cousin, kept it breezy at 6, earning that “Nice!” from the room. But Bell’s envy? It’s giving “grass is greener” vibes, like she’s low-key shading her younger self for being too “good girl” in a world that rewards the reckless.

Critics are already rolling eyes: Is this empowering honesty or just Bell mining her marriage for clicks? After all, she’s built a brand on these “unexpected” confessions—remember her wine-fueled parenting rants? This one’s spicier, but it reeks of calculated candor to hype her career. And with Shepard nodding along like a proud enabler, you can’t help but wonder: Is their “for the better” dynamic code for “routine romps” now, or is Bell hinting at a dry spell?

Marriage Advice with a Side of Spice: “Marry Your Best Friend” (And Maybe Experiment More?)

The duo dished on what keeps their own lives ticking—Bell and Shepard’s 11-year marriage (plus two kids) is the gold standard, apparently. “We have to be vulnerable when we don’t want to be. That’s what works for us,” Bell preached. “And marry your best friend.” Lupe chimed in with agreement, turning the pod into a Hallmark card with a naughty twist. But let’s call it: Bell’s regret feels like a subtle dig at her “settled” life—wishing she’d “butterflied” more before locking it down. Shepard, ever the supportive spouse, stayed chill, but one has to smirk at the irony: The guy who built an empire on celebrity therapy sessions is now co-hosting his wife’s hookup autopsy.

It’s all very on-brand for Bell, who’s parlayed “relatable mom” into rom-com royalty. But in a post-#MeToo world, rating sexual history like it’s a Yelp review? Cringe city. Fans are divided: Some hail it as body-positive real talk, others whisper “TMI, Kristen—keep it in the bedroom.”

Netflix Heatwave: Season 2 Promises “Mount”-ing Tension

Timing? Impeccable. This confession drops as Nobody Wants This gears up for Season 2, where Bell and Lupe’s on-screen sisterhood dives deeper into steamy, queer-coded drama. Bell teased the sizzle: “We have a responsibility to make this fun… It’s so hot.” Lupe added fuel: “You’ve only watched two episodes. Yeah. Is it about to get so hot?” When pressed for a one-word hint? Bell dropped “Mount.” Mount what—everest of passion? The innuendo’s thicker than their podcast banter, clearly teasing forbidden flings that’ll make Season 1’s rabbi-rabbi romance look tame.

Bell’s no stranger to sexy roles (The Good Place‘s afterlife antics had their moments), but this promo play screams “sex sells.” With her real-life regrets mirroring the show’s “what if” vibes, it’s genius marketing—or desperate deflection from a ho-hum youth. Either way, Netflix is banking on Bell’s “butterfly” wishes to butterfly-kiss those ratings upward.

The Overshare Aftermath: Bell’s Bold or Just Boring?

Kristen Bell’s latest TMI fest is peak Hollywood hypocrisy: Preach vulnerability while packaging it as entertainment gold. Wishing for a “6” sex score? Adorable in theory, eye-roll-inducing in execution—especially when you’re a married mom of two dropping it on your husband’s pod for the world to dissect. Is she empowering women to own their regrets, or just chasing relevance in a youth-obsessed industry? With Lupe stealing the “wild one” crown and Season 2’s heat on the horizon, Bell’s confession feels less like catharsis and more like clickbait foreplay.

What do you think—brave honesty or bedroom bragging? Sound off below; this “butterfly” might just flap into more drama!
