Dax Randall Shepard (birth name) was born on 2. January 1975, in Highland Township, Oakland County, Michigan. His father, Dave Robert Shepard, was a car dealer while his mother, Laura LaBo, worked at General Motors (GM). Apparently they both had this “thing” for automobiles; one would immediately guess that their union would last forever, but life happens. When Shepard was just three years old, his parents went their separate ways. The cause of the split isn’t what Shepard likes to talk about publicly. But it must have paid a tribute to little Dax. No wonder he’s making every effort to reunite with Kristen Bell. Some mistakes are not worth repeating.
In 1993, at the age of 13, he graduated from Walled LakeCentral High School in 1993. He then went to the Groundlings School. After several years at Santa Monica College and West Los Angeles College, Shepard transferred to UCLA. Graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology. Like Will Ferrel, he was a class clown, although he wasn’t that interested in acting.
Shepard landed his first film role in 1996 after moving to California. He was only there a year before hearing about auditions for The Groundlings improv troupe from a friend. He juggled between the Groundlings and his academic work at UCLA. Five years later, Shepard joined the Sunday Company of The Groundlings. And as of 2003, Shepard became a popular face for his work on the TV show, Punk’d . Dax also appeared in the 2004 comedy film, Without a Paddle , alongside Seth Green and Matthew Lillard.

His wife, children
Shepard’s relationship wasn’t as low-key as Tap, as he’s pretty clear on the details. Shepard met actress Kristen Bell at a friend’s birthday party. Through a stroke of fate, the two began dating in late 2007. The couple announced their engagement barely three years later in January 2010.
But they were not among the male proposalsmarriage. Kristen Bell boldly defied the norm when she asked Shepard to marry her. The two exchanged vows in a low-key, all-black ceremony on October 17, 2013 at the Beverly Hills County Clerk’s office. Crazy, right? But that’s the Shepards for you. Besides, who gave burials the black monopoly? Overall, the event cost just over $142.
