Netflix is set to release the comedy-drama starring Kristen Bell as Joanne, who becomes entangled in a complicated romance with an unorthodox rabbi named Noah, played by Adam Brody. Kristen Bell, 44, has had a remarkable acting career, starting with her breakout role as Veronica Mars in the series of the same name. She went on to play notable roles in Heroes, where she portrayed Elle Bishop, and lent her voice to the popular Gossip Girl series.
The star gained further recognition for voicing Princess Anna in Disney's Frozen films. Born to Lorelei and Tom, a nurse and a TV news editor, Kristen has been open about her early life. At the age of four, she expressed dislike for her first name, leading her parents to suggest using her middle name, Anne, until high school.
In her personal life, Kristen was in a five-year relationship with Kevin Mann until 2007. Later that year, she began dating actor Dax Shepard, and the couple announced their engagement in 2010. However, they decided to delay their marriage until California passed legislation legalizing same-sex marriage.
In 2023, Kristen shared the secret to her successful marriage with Dax, telling ET Online: "Common goals, seek them out. Our kids are a common goal, right?". "People are like: 'Oh, I wouldn't be able to work with my husband or wife or partner.
' For me, I want another common goal with him." "I respect him so much creatively. I have so much trust in him.
Of course, I want him to be my director or my scene partner." She and the 49-year-old actor from The Ranch became parents to two daughters, born in March 2013 and December 2014. In 2016, she publicly discussed her battle with depression and anxiety, which originated during her college years.
Speaking to Motto, she confessed: "I felt plagued with a negative attitude and a sense that I was permanently in the shade. I'm normally such a bubbly, positive person, and all of a sudden I stopped feeling like myself." "There was no logical reason for me to feel this way.
I was at New York University, I was paying my bills on time, I had friends and ambition-but for some reason, there was something intangible dragging me down." "Luckily, thanks to my mom, I knew that help was out there-and to seek it without shame." She remained silent about her mental health struggles for the first 15 years of her career.
After choosing to get help, she stated: "It's important for me to be candid about this so people in a similar situation can realize that they are not worthless and that they do have something to offer. We all do.".
