Dax Shepard couldn’t help but ship his wife, Kristen Bell, and co-star Adam Brody in “Nobody Wants This.”

The actress spoke about her husband’s reaction to her and Brody’s “chemistry onscreen” in a recent interview with eTalk about the Netflix show.

“Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, ‘Whoa, that’s hot,'” the “Good Place” alum, 44, confessed. “My husband said the same thing.”

Bell recalled, “Watching the first episode he was like, ‘Oh my god, I want you to kiss him so badly.’”

The Golden Globe nominee went on to explain that “there is a math to” her character Joanne’s connection with rabbi Noah Roklov, played by Brody.

“You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss — which I think is really important,” she explained.

Bell, who clarified that she was “not trying to be reductive,” continued, “Whether or not people want to see you end up with someone is a crap shoot, and we just kind of got lightning in a bottle.”

The “Veronica Mars” alum’s comments come five years after she said Shepard, 49, cheers her on while watching intimate scenes in her projects.

“He likes it when I fall in love onscreen in front of him. … If he’s watching by himself and I’m in the kitchen, I’ll hear him go, ‘Honey, get some!’ from the living room,” Bell explained on “Conan” in 2019, calling him a “great wingman.”

Bell and the “Armchair Expert” podcast co-host have been married since October 2013, waiting until same-sex marriage was legalized in California to tie the knot.

The duo share daughters Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 9.

As for Brody, the “O.C.” alum began dating Leighton Meester in early 2013.

While Brody, 44, and the “Gossip Girl” alum, 38, keep their love life primarily under wraps, they got engaged in November of that year and wed in 2014.

Meester gave birth to their daughter and son in 2015 and 2020, respectively — and addressed the guilt she feels as a working mom in a subsequent “Entertainment Tonight” interview.

“Our society, everything, it doesn’t really give us a lot of space for feeling whole on either end, and feeling good about going to work, or leaving our kids, or being with them,” she said in March 2022.
