Bell admits that when it came to her daughters and Hollywood, her initial reaction was to deter them for the path of stardom. However, she admits that her original decision was a result of her projecting her own experience own to her daughters.

As a mom, Bell was struggling to think about the potential rejection and dangers that often come with being in the spotlight. It didn’t take long for her to change her mind, and Bell has her husband to thank for that.

Shepard encouraged Bell to look at it from another perspective. One day Shephard asked, “Well do you enjoy being creative? Do you enjoy being overpaid?”

Bell responded, “yes.” With those questions, Bell’s perspective and mentality shifted. When it comes to pursuing careers in Hollywood, Bell reluctantly has changed her mind.

Bell & Shepard’s daughters are still relatively young, and both celebrities have stated that they do not wish for their daughters to become “child stars.” However, once they get a little older, the sky is limit.
