Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard shared a glimpse of how they welcomed 2026 with family and close friends.
The couple posted photos of their New Year’s Eve on social media, which included fireworks, time spent with friends and family and a boat trip. Shepard, 51, shared the photos on Instagram and credited friends Bobbi Brown, Molly Richardson and Erick Richardson for helping make the evening memorable.
“Great fun New Year’s Eve. Huge gratitude to The Richardsons and @justbobbidotcom,” he wrote. Shepard also noted that one of the photos was taken by one of their children, joking that all four fingers were covering the camera lenses — but the photo still turned out to be good.
Bell, 45, responded in the comments, calling the experience an “adventure,” and later posted her own carousel of the celebration, simply captioning it, “Family 2026.”
The actors, who married in 2013 after meeting in 2007, share two daughters, Lincoln and Delta. Family travel and time outdoors have long been part of their routine. During the summer, Bell and Shepard temporarily left Los Angeles to spend time in Tennessee.
Bell told PEOPLE in October that the family was staying at a lake, where their daughters spent most of their days swimming and exploring. She added that moving away from city life keeps them grounded and present.
“I think it’s healthy to burst our bubble and see more of the world,” Bell said, noting that those moments often matter more than documenting them.
