Cher has made it clear that she disapproves of Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell\u2019s marriage<\/a> after an awkward moment on his podcast.<\/p>\n

The legendary singer, 79, appeared as the guest on Monday\u2019s episode of Shepard\u2019s Armchair Expert podcast<\/a>, where she sat next to Bell<\/a>, her friend and former co-star. Shortly after a pointed comment during the conversation where Cher<\/a> described Shepard as \u201clucky\u201d and said Bell was \u201cdefinitely the better half\u201d of the 12-year marriage, Shepard confronted the singer about the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho would you like to see Kristen with?\u201d Shepard<\/a>, 51, asked Cher. \u201cIf you get to pick from every available bachelor. They don\u2019t even have to be available; there can be some taken ones if you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Bell<\/a>, 45, laughed and appeared shocked at the question, Shepard continued: \u201cWho would be your dream partner for her? Because I know you think she could do better, and I don’t disagree.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know!\u201d Cher exclaimed, looking at Bell with an exasperated expression. The Nobody Wants This<\/a> star assured her, \u201cHe\u2019s being self-deprecating right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shepard then doubled down, telling his wife, \u201cI just want to know who she thinks your dream catch would be. There\u2019s some people I have that I think are good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cher replied that she had not thought of anyone else for Bell and put an end to the question by saying: \u201cThe truth is, I trust her. So you must have something that I don’t see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell and Cher became friends while filming the 2010 hit musical movie Burlesque<\/a>, which also starred Christina Aguilera and Stanley Tucci. Bell and Shepard were already engaged at the time, and went on to tie the knot in 2013. The couple shares daughters Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 11.<\/p>\n

Shepard continued to defend himself to Cher, saying, \u201cI’ll tell you the thing that you should like about me. I’m not threatened by her shining. Love it. The shinier she gets, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cher responded that her longtime boyfriend, Alexander \u201cAE\u201d Edwards<\/a>, feels similarly about her fame. The two then ended the conversation on a civil note, with Shepard saying: \u201cI adore you, and I understand nobody’s good enough for [Kristen].\u201d<\/p>\n

The Grammy winner told Shepard, \u201cYou seem like a good dad,\u201d to which Bell noted that he is \u201cthe best dad there ever was.\u201d Shepard then joked that he had only pretended to be a loving parent in front of Cher to impress her, which was met with an eye roll from the superstar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-354138","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
