Dax Shepard is currently facing intense scrutiny following comments he made about pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter. During a recent episode of his popular podcast, Armchair Expert, Shepard sat down with Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez. The conversation took a turn that many listeners described as uncomfortable when Shepard began discussing his new fascination with the 26-year-old singer.
Shepard, who has been married to actress Kristen Bell since 2013, admitted that he has become newly obsessed with the Espresso artist. He credited his young daughters for introducing him to her music. However, the actor went a step further by encouraging Hernandez to pursue a romantic relationship with the singer.
The podcast host told the 28-year-old comedian that he would definitely try to date her if he were the same age. He then bluntly asked the comedian if he was really trying to marry her. This surprising line of questioning led many listeners to wonder why the host was so focused on pushing a romantic angle with his guest.
Hernandez immediately rejected the suggestion, stating he was already committed to his girlfriend. He told Shepard she’s a Dominican architect and a Yale alum, adding with enthusiasm, “She’s amazing!” He made it clear he wasn’t interested in pursuing anything with anyone else.
Even though they’ve kept their professional and personal lives separate, Hernandez spoke highly of his working relationship with Carpenter. He mentioned they’ve collaborated on Saturday Night Live a number of times, praising her as fun-loving and truly humorous. He also described the singer as a talented actress and someone enjoyable to spend time with.
The public reacted quickly and harshly to Shepard’s actions. People on social media described his behavior as unsettling and strange, highlighting the large age difference and the fact that he and the other person were both already in relationships. Some were very critical, with one person suggesting he should no longer be given a platform to speak.
Shepard has faced criticism before regarding his comments about his family and personal life. Earlier this year, he received backlash for saying he’d offered to pay for his 11-year-old daughter, Delta, to preserve her eggs for potential future use as she’s expressed a desire to have children someday. He explained he was simply trying to be supportive of her wishes.
Kristen Bell also received backlash recently after sharing an anniversary post. It included a quote from her husband, Dax Shepard, where he jokingly said he had a strong motive to kill her, but wouldn’t. Many domestic violence advocates criticized the post as being insensitive and poorly timed.
Despite recent headlines, Dax Shepard is still a well-known personality in entertainment. He continues to host his popular podcast, Armchair Expert, which was recently nominated for a Golden Globe award. He also recently lent his voice to the stop-motion animated series Ultra City Smiths, appearing alongside Kristen Bell.
