XOXO, Kristen Bell.
The actress broke cover at New York City’s 92nd Street Y on Wednesday night, hours after skipping her “Today” show appearance over a “tone-deaf” anniversary post to husband Dax Shepard.
The “Nobody Wants This” star posed on the red carpet while joining her fellow cast members for a screening of the show’s second season and a panel conversation.

Earlier that same day, Bell was scheduled to appear on the “Today” show with Justine Lupe — but Lupe, 36, did the sitdown solo.
The “Succession” alum, notably, discussed Bell and her love of pranks but did not address recent headlines about the Emmy nominee’s social media snafu.
Bell set tongues wagging on Friday when she honored her and Shepard’s 12th year of marriage via Instagram.

“Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.’ ❤️,” she wrote.
The “Good Place” alum’s followers dragged her in the comments section for sharing such a “wild thing” during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
National Network to End Domestic Violence, an advocacy group, slammed the “‘joke’ that trivialize[s] the very real fear, trauma and pain that millions of victims and survivors face each day” in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday.

“We all have a responsibility to support victims and survivors, to invest in proven solutions and to speak about this issue with the seriousness it deserves,” the organization wrote.
Bell’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

At the time, Bell quipped, “Then I got beat up, and guess what — I never opened my mouth again.”
She and the “Armchair Expert” host have been married since October 2013 and share two daughters — Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 10.
