Actor Dax Shephard recently invited his ex-girlfriend Briegh Morrion on his latest podcast Armchair Expert episode.

In a segment of the podcast, Shephard drives around in a car with his best friend and a guest and holds conversations with them. This week, he invited his ex-girlfriend Briegh Morrison on the podcast as he opened up about their time together as a couple and their split.

Though not much is known about Briegh Morrison, her Instagram profile says that she worked as a middle school teacher after staying home for seven years. It is unclear if she is still in the profession.

“I will say, for a while, I did think, ‘Well, I’ll never be in love with someone again in that way. I had a deep fear. I’m like, ‘Oh, I don’t think I’ll ever really feel the way I felt about Briegh with anybody.’ I was quite scared of that.” Shephard told his ex-girlfriend Morrison.

Later in the episode, Shephard shared that Morrison shares some similarities with his wife Kristen Bell.

“Something that you guys have that I value so much is I think you two above any other people I’ve ever met, you have your opinions and your position, but you’re really able to listen to another point of view and consider it and integrate it. Neither of you guys are, like, stuck.”

This happens amidst the recent controversy where Shephard's wife Kristen Bell posted a carousel on Instagram marking the couple's anniversary but wrote a tone deaf caption below it.

“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.’” Read the caption

About Dax Shephard and Briegh Morrison's relationship

Shephard and Briegh Morrison began dating in 2007. While in their twenties, the couple dated for around nine years.

Prior to their friendly split, they attended couples counseling. (Shepard stated that during their relationship, he and his ex-partner rarely argued.) In the early days of his and Bell's relationship, Morrison continued to visit his mother and come over to Shepard's house because they were still good friends. Morrison's parents have previously been invited to Shepard's comedy event.

Shepard was inspired when Morrison told her ex how wonderful having children was after she had moved on with someone else.

He laughed as he added, "Of course, I already wanted to have kids, but I did get off the phone with you and I'm like, yeah, let's go." I recall telling Kristen, "Yeah, I just spoke with Briegh." I spoke with my ex-girlfriend just now. Briegh suggested that we have children.
