Shepard’s sobriety milestone is no small feat, and his famous friends showed their support in the comments of Bell’s post.
“The White Lotus” season 3 actor Walton Goggins wrote, “Thatâs the stuff⦠the good stuff, the best stuff.” Cheyenne Jackson chimed in to say, “Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes,” and Rachel Bilson commented simply, “â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸.” Terry Crews wrote, “AMAZING AMAZING AMAZINGâ¤ï¸,” and Nina Dobrev seemed to echo the sentiment, posting, “ðð¼ðð¼ðð¼.”
Shepard Has Been Open About His Sobriety Journey
Shepard, who tied the knot with Bell in 2013, has been candid when speaking about his past struggles with addiction.
During a 2021 episode of “The Pursuit of Healthiness” podcast, the “Parenthood” actor revealed, “What I would do is I would get sober for movies. I cared more about movies â it was the only thing I was more addicted to was being in movies â and so I would get sober for movies and then in between movies it was getting more and more dangerous.”
Shepard has been sober since 2004, and has used his celebrity platform to share his story. In 2020 he explained to fans on his “Armchair Expert” podcast that he had momentarily relapsed after breaking his hand in an ATV accident.
Bell later appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and shared that Shephard was “doing great.” “He was like, ‘I don’t want to risk this family and I did, so let’s put new things in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again,’” she explained.
Now Shephard is the co-founder of a non-alcoholic beer company called Ted Segers which he often promotes on his Instagram.
