Also, back when Dax was separated from his family due to the coronavirus, Kristen and the kids sang “Waving Through a Window” from afar.
2. She once helped deliver two newborn babies:
This happened while she and her mom were volunteering overseas.
“I was helping, but you know the minute you start to see the baby descend, I was bawling,” she said .
“There was something about witnessing a life take its first breath, that was sappier than I expected, and sappier than I am.”
She continued:
“But something was in the room where a life was beginning, and it was really cool.”
3. She and husband, Dax, waited to get married for a long time:

She continued:
“I try to eat more fresh foods than processed ones, and the grainiest bread possible.”
6. She and Dax have some strict parenting rules:
The pair have two kids, Lincoln, 7, and Delta, 5.
One rule the parents make their kids follow is only touching things with one finger. Bell explained the tactic to People .
“So if she wants to touch a vase that I know she shouldn’t, I say, ‘Oh, I want to touch it too. Let’s use one finger!’” she said.
The parents have found the brilliant tactic to be so effective for one simple reason:
“It makes them feel like they have a little bit of a choice.”
7. She wasn’t into Dax when they first met:
“I had just gotten out of a long-term relationship, like, two months prior. And in retrospect, I realize he had just gotten out of a long relationship,” she told Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist.
She recalled how much he talked when they first met.
“This guy can ta-alk,” she recalled. “And then I didn’t know who he was. I’m like, ‘Is that one of the guys from Jackass or something?’ … And then we left. There were no sparks whatsoever.”
8. She once snuck her pet rabbit into her college dorm freshman year:
This happened when she was at NYU.

The Frozen star has a soft spot for all animals, but sloths especially.
When she visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show , her husband shared footage of him surprising her with sloths for her birthday.
The star broke down into tears over being so excited.
When Ellen joked that she had sloths on set, fans got to see her break down once again in one of the star’s most memorable moments on TV.
12. She does cosplay:
She considers herself a “geek who loves fashion.”
She told Women’s Health , “There’s been a reinvention of the word geek. It means [being passionate about] anything that’s under the radar or sort of frowned upon, like Comic-Con.”
“It’s a giant comic book convention, and I’ve gone for the past four years to represent the shows I’ve been on.”
She continued:
“I have friends who wear Star Wars costumes and act like the characters all day. I may not be that deep into it, but there’s something great about loving what you love and not caring if it’s unpopular.”
13. She has (almost) no fear of hot foods.
She appeared on Hot Ones and fans were beyond impressed with her tolerance to even the hottest of sauces.
14. Although Cocoa Loco Spicy Chocolate was her breaking point.
She revealed that if she had to pick between eating that chocolate or going through labor again, she would pick labor a thousand times over.
But they ate it for a good cause.
They were raising money to support the Prostate Cancer Foundation, and filmed the whole experience for everyone to relive over and over again.
15. She believes that *Snow White* sends a bad message.
“Every time we close Snow White I look at my girls and ask ‘Don’t you think it’s weird that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got the apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids are like, ‘No!’ And I’m like, ‘okay, I’m doing something right,'” she explained .
16. She celebrates her kids’ birthdays when both she and Dax are free.
“If it’s, like, a Wednesday and we can’t celebrate and we’re both working late, then — guess what — your birthday is on a Saturday,” she explained.
“They don’t know,” she said during an appearance on the Today Show .
17. She revealed she had to lock her daughter in her bedroom at night.
“My 3-year-old decided to stop sleeping about nine months ago. And every night, when we put her to bed, she turns the lights on, which annoys the 4-year-old, and she will move furniture, and she bangs on the door with different, hard toys,” she explained .
“We switched the doorknob. We turned the lock on the outside.”
She even admitted that she knew this would be pretty controversial.
But it’s not locked for the entire night.
“But we lock it when she gets in there, and we stand outside and say, ‘We love you, we will talk to you in the morning, but now, it’s time for sleep.’ And after about 10 minutes, she’ll wind herself down. And then, before we go to bed, obviously, we unlock it.”
