After becoming parents, Kristen and Dax led the “No Kids Policy,” a campaign against paparazzi who stalk and harass their children to get photos as well as the media outlet. At the time, Kristen told Entertainment Tonight: “Picture what it would be like walking down the street with your child and have 10 aggressive men taking their picture with a lens in your face, yelling, pushing other children outside of a school.”
With their push, as well as several other A-list celebrities, the No Kids Policy became a California law. In the years since, Kristen and Dax have often made headlines for sharing their lives through Dax’s podcast. They’ve discussed everything from showering habits to Dax’s history of addiction.
