Kristen Bell - who has been with Dax Shepard since 2007 - admits When In Rome producers were initially concerned about hiring the both of them.

“When they started casting they knew Dax and I were dating and almost didn’t hire him for that reason,” Kristen revealed. “I said, ‘I get it, you don’t want drama, but we’re not very dramatic. If you want the best person, hire him!’”

The 29-year-old actress was thrilled when Dax was eventually cast. “They did and it was wonderful,” Bell claimed.

Despite getting engaged in January, Kristen and Dax are in no rush to set a date for their wedding. “At this point who really cares? I don’t know when it’s going to be. People ask, ‘When are you going to do it?’ and I’m like, ‘Wait, isn’t this supposed to be the important thing? Getting engaged?’” she added.

When in Rome comes out on DVD this Tuesday.
