Dax and Kristen have been married since 2013
Dax and his wife Kristen have been married since 2013 and have two daughters, Lincoln and Delta, together.
They met after Dax and Ashley's brief romance. Kristen was unsure at the beginning of their relationship, however, as her future husband had been in a longtime open partnership and had some addiction battles he was conquering too.
"There was a ton of jealousy, for pretty good reasons," he revealed on when discussing the early years of his romance with Kristen.
"I had been in an open relationship for nine years, I was blacked out a big chunk of my life. You know, there were a lot of things for her [Kristen] to be concerned about."
But the couple did more than make it work and have been in a happy marriage since they walked down the aisle and with the help of therapy and hard work they're one of Hollywood's biggest success stories.
