“I had just gotten out of a long-term relationship, like, two months prior. And in retrospect, I realize (Shepard) had just gotten out of a long relationship,” she says of their first meeting in 2007.

“The only thing I remember is that he talked so much,” Bell shared, laughing. “I was like, ‘This guy can talk.’ And then I didn’t know who he was. I’m like, ‘Maybe is that one of the guys from “Jackass” or something?'”

Bell and Shepard didn’t hit it off right away, though, she admits: “There were no sparks whatsoever.

“Two weeks later, we both met at a hockey game. We are both from Detroit and Red Wings fans. And we saw each other at the hockey game. Started to flirt. Left. And then a day after that I get a text that says, ‘Hi, my name is Dax. I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?’ And I was like, ‘Excuse me? You sound stimulating,'” Bell remembers.

The joke could have backfired, but thankfully it worked.

“That was my kind of person,” Bells says. “I was like, ‘Okay, starting it off with a really good joke that makes me feel, like, butterflies.”

She also admits, “I fell in love with him way before he fell in love with me.”
