Dax Shepard Says Extracting Wife Kristen Bell's Clogged Breast Was 'Not Easy and Not Rewarding'

Dax Shepardis getting real about the time he came to his wifeKristen Bell’s aid during an uncomfortable breastfeeding experience.

In a clip from Wednesday’s episode ofTheDrew Barrymore Show, the talk show host asks the couple about when Shepard had to nurse out a breastfeeding clog that Bell encountered when she had mastitis. Bell firstdiscussed the experiencewithKatie Loweson her Daytime Emmy–nominated seriesMomsplaining with Kristen Bellback in 2018.

“Let’s just say that I extracted mastitis and we’ll leave everyone’s imagination to wander,” Shepard told Barrymore. “Let me also add that it is not easy and not rewarding.”

“I mean it is to know that you helped your partner but other than that it’s where the rubber meets the road. It’s down in the trenches you know?” the father of two added.

Despite the unconventional experience, Bell told Barrymore that it made her “realize the level of commitment that this man had to me.”

Last month on an episode ofMomsplaining, shechatted with Lowes for a second timeabout the experience and reiterated that the method is useful.

“It works!” said Bell, as Lowes said, “I know. I’ve asked my husband and to be honest with you guys, Adam has never had to nurse out a clog but he has said numerous times, ‘I would do it.’ "

“Because that’s my boy right there!” Bell responded while theScandalalum clapped.
