Dax and Kristen started dating on and off back in 2007.
Two years after the two met at a dinner party, he proposed in 2009.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, Kristen admitted to People magazine that watching Dax homeschool their two girls has made her “fall much deeper in love with him.”
She admitted the beginning of the quarantine was hard on the family.
