Dax Shepard is standing up for his wife Kristen Bell.

In a new interview with Marc Maron on his podcastWTF, theFrozenactress, 38, shared that even though her husband Shepard, 43, is sober, they often talk about drugs. Bell also revealed that she occasionally partakes in themeven though her husband, who’s been sober for 14 years, does not.

“I like my vape pen quite a bit. I smoke around my husband and it doesn’t seem to bother him,” Bell began. “Weed rules. Weed is my drug of choice, for sure.”

But when CBS daytime showThe Talkasked its Twitter followers if they thought it was okay Bell did that, Shepard immediately came to her defense, proving that he’s more than okay with it.

“That would be like a diabetic expecting their partner to never eat dessert. Get real!” the actor wrote.

On the podcast, when Maron asked Bell how she decides when it’s appropriate to smoke, she responded, “Like once a week if I’m exhausted and we’re about to sit down and watch60 minutes, why not?”

The Good Placestar also said that it’s not as hard for her husband to watch her smoke weed as one might think. “He likes drugs and alcohol,” Bell explained. “He’s just aware that he lost his privilege with them because he can’t handle it. His brain does not have the chemistry to handle it.”
