The duo has been best friends for nearly two decades now, and their friendship is still going strong. Bell even sent Hansen a video once while she was peeing. If that's not a close friendship, we don't know what is. The best part is that their spouses are definitely friends with them, too! Bell's husband Dax Shepard and Hansen's wife, Amy, are definitely a part of their friendship group. Let's take a look down memory lane and take a deep dive into Bell and Hansen's friendship over the years.

I simply would not be the person I am today without his friendship and the people he has brought into my life." So sweet. Bell also said that "he makes me laugh so much and he once spent my birthday with a cardboard cutout version of me when he couldn't spend it with me." Hilarious!

She went on to say that she was sorry that his show didn't get picked up and that she was rooting for it to. She added that she would see him the next day and that they would have a Game of Thrones watch party on Sunday. Hansen wrote in the caption "when your best bud tries to cheer you up but ends up just PISSING you off." That's what friends are for.
