Ahead of her big night, Bell told PEOPLE that she had “no way to know” ifher husband would be there to support herfor the night.

TheNobody Wants Thisstar recently opened up toE! Newsabout her11-year marriage with Shepardand how it’s remained strong all this time. Both are actors, who sometimes have to portray intimate moments with other people for the sake of the project, she said — which is where their “foundational trust” comes in.

“Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he’s committed to our family. I know he’s coming home. I know he loves our children. I know he strives to be a great husband and father," Bell said.

She added, “Maybe there could be a day where I’m like, ‘I’m actually really nervous that you spend time with that person.’ And he could say, ‘Oh, okay, let’s talk about it. What makes you nervous? What are you thinking?’ We have very open communication.”
