Bell and Shepard first met at a dinner party in 2007, but sparks didn’t fly until two weeks later when they reconnected at a Detroit Red Wings hockey game. 

The pair, who are both from Michigan, bonded over their shared home state at the game and Bell really started to fall “in love” when Shepard sent her a funny text the next day. They welcomed daughter Lincoln in March 2013 months before tying the knot later that year in October. In Dec. 2014, Bell gave birth to daughter Delta. 

Fast forward ten years, the close-knit family currently resides in their L.A. “dream home” that they purchased in 2017.
