Dax Shepard gave Armcherries a long-awaited special guest this week, as the actor welcomed his ex-girlfriend, Briegh Morrison, onto his newest podcast series, called “Mom’s Car.”

Shepard and Morrison were in a nine-year open relationship before ultimately splitting, with Shepard going on to later marry his now-wife, Kristen Bell.

He spoke about how nervous he was to move on after his near-decade with Morrison.

“The breakup was manageable, but I will say ― for a while, I did think, ‘Well, I’ll never be in love with someone again ― in that way. I had a deep fear.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, I don’t think I’ll ever really feel the way I felt about Briegh with anybody.’ I was quite scared of that. ”

Shepard added that he didn’t have any regrets about the two’s relationship, though he was “very disoriented for a while” after their split, which took him about a year to come to terms with.
