Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's daughters were furious with her when she dumped their dad in a movie.
The couple - who have Lincoln, 12, and 10-year-old Delta together - recently showed their kids 2012's Hit and Run because they wanted to see them falling in love with one another, but they were unprepared for their reactions to the action comedy, which sees a professor and a former getaway driver hit the road together.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dax said: "Our kids rarely show interest in us as — anyone with kids knows — but they did want to see this movie we made, because we're very much in love.
"I mean, we're childless, and we had nothing to do but love each other."
Kristen added: "We spent all this time making this independent film, and daddy wrote it and directed it, and they were like, 'We want to see it." And we hadn't watched it in forever. We were like, 'Okay, let's watch it with you.'"
The pair admitted the movie was "so inappropriate" but the girls "have a good sense of humour" and "like seeing us in love and kind of young."
And while they "loved" Hit and Run, Lincoln and Delta weren't happy at seeing their parents break up on screen.
Dax laughed: "They were very upset, and what made me so happy is they were mad at mom, not me.
"They thought mom was a b****, and they thought daddy was a good boy with a bad past."
Dax and Kristen met in 2007 and married in 2013 and the 45-year-old actress recently expressed her belief that a happy marriage requires constant compromise.
She told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen : "I don't like the idea that you're looking for your perfect puzzle piece because you also have to become a puzzle piece that fits with someone else.
"So if you find two people that are like, 'Yeah, we're going to make this work and that means we're going to compromise constantly and those compromises should work well for both of us.' And sometimes it's going to ebb and sometimes it's going to flow, but we're not going to have checks and balances, because we're going to realise it's not me against you, it's us against the world.'"
The Nobody Wants This actress previously admitted that she relishes the challenges of motherhood.
She told Today: "Every day is something comical.
"Every day when you’re raising kids, you feel like you could cry or crack up and just scream 'This is ridiculous!' because there's so much nonsense, whether it's what they're saying to you or the fact that there's avocado or poop on every surface."
