Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard ‘waive April rent payments for their tenants’

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have reportedly waived rent payments for April for their tenants amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The A-list couple, who own at least two residential properties, have decided to forgo rent payments for the month as some of their tenants have lost their jobs under the state’s new stay at home order.

According to TMZ, a manager for the actors’ company Pringus Property LLC, emailed all residents over the weekend to give them the news.

A source told the publication the message expressed sympathy to the tenants and the manager, who is thought to be Dax’s sister, promised to work with residents going forward as the world continues to try and combat the virus.

Many landlords have made the decision to either cancel payments or reduce them significantly for the next month due to COVID-19’s effect on the global economy.

Kristen and Dax first began dating in late 2007 and married in Beverly Hills in October 2013.

Dax had been travelling in recent weeks as the coronavirus epidemic worsened so he and Kristen opted for caution and had him steer clear of her and their two kids by self-quarantining at a friend’s empty apartment when he returned. 

Some five days into his isolation, Kristen decided to lift the family’s spirits with a dance-off outside his window that was captured on video and posted on Instagram.

In the clip, Bell and their daughters Delta, five, and Lincoln, six, busted out the moves near the entrance staircase as Shepard looked on from afar, no doubt, with a proud smile on his face.

‘To be cautious, I asked him to stay at a friend’s empty apartment for a bit to make sure he had no symptoms,’ she said. 

Today we were missing him so much, we did the only logical thing we knew how to do. Danced outside his window to a @bensplatt and @dearevanhansen serenade.’

In a sign of the current times, she also added the hashtags: #staysane #stayhome #wereinthistogether #wavingthroughawindow.

During the heightened response to COVID-19, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star, 39, has been sharing helpful health tips on how to stay safe during these stressful times. 

In another post, she wrote: ‘Many people have many [different] reasons for being more susceptible to this virus that we others may be. Some may be obvious, others may not. 

It’s incredibly important that we socially distance, to protect the vulnerable ones among us. Let’s show up for one another, by staying home for one another.’

The Bad Moms actress has also taken the time to thank healthcare workers, teachers and organizations that help feed kids in need.
