When their parents aren’t looking, most young children will take sips of their parents’ booze, but Kristen Bell’s children prefer a non-alcoholic beer.
The Gossip Girl narrator is candid about her parenting style with her two children, whom she shares with husband Dax Shepard.
In a new interview, she said that Lincoln, nine, and Delta, eight, have acquired a taste for beer, albeit non-alcoholic beer.
Kristen enjoys the unusual option, especially when oldest Lincoln attempts to purchase a bottle in a restaurant.
The 43-year-old explained why, and it’s adorable, bringing the daughters closer to their father.
‘My kids have ordered non-alcoholic beers at restaurants before, which sounds insane if you don’t know,’ she shared on the Kelly Clarkson show.
She reminded viewers that ‘context is important’ and began to explain why her two daughters have such a fond love of the beverage.
‘[Dax]’s a recovering addict, but he likes non-alcoholic beer, so he’d pop one open, he’d have [our oldest daughter] on his chest, and we’d walk and look at the sunset,’ she shared with singer and host Kelly.
‘As a baby she was pawing at it, and sometimes she’d suck on the rim of it. So I think it feels to her like something special, something daddy, something family.’
Kristen’s parenting style has already raised eyebrows, as she said she’s already had the sex discussion with her daughters.
Last year, on Rachel Bilson’s podcast, she revealed she had explained ‘Daddy and I do this because we have those feelings towards each other’.
She added: ‘There are feelings we each get in our private parts for each other. We also get in our brains and in our bellies.’
Kristen and Dax started dating in 2007 and became engaged three years later, but they didn’t marry until same-sex marriage became legal in the United States in 2013.
After suffering with substance abuse from the age of 18, the Paw Patrol: The Movie star has been sober since 2005.
The non-alcoholic beer may be more plentiful at home, but Kristen quipped that she doesn’t always let them have it while they’re out and about.
‘We’ve been at restaurants where she’s said, “Do you have any non-alcoholic beer?” and I’m like . . . maybe we just keep that for home time,’ the actress laughed.
‘But then I’m also sort of like, you can judge me if you want, I’m not doing anything wrong. Like that’s your problem.’
While the non-alcoholic bear is unusual, it is hardly the most unusual revelation from the Frozen star.
Kristen previously claimed that she let her spouse suck a plugged milk duct out of her breast to relieve pain.
