New celebrity mama Kristen Bell recently sat down with "Ellen DeGeneres" to discuss motherhood and her new daughter, Lincoln, who she explained to Ellen that she will not be sharing baby photos of, USA Today reports.
Usually DeGeneres is able to get new celebrity moms to produce a baby photo for the audience, but Bell refused, though she was happy to chat about her 2-month old daughter with the host.
"It's actually better than I expected," Bell said of her new role as a mother to DeGeneres. "It's pretty wonderful. It's a lot of fun."
When asked if having Lincoln was better than sloth, notoriously one of Bell's favorite animals, the actress jokingly asked, "Is she watching? Is she here? I'm sure it's better than a sloth."
As for her husband Dax Shephard, Bell said: "It's like he's just made a new best friend. He just takes to her all day and sings to her all day and it's just wonderful." When DeGeneres produced a photo of the couple, she brought up the fact that Bell wasn't going to show a picture of the baby because she wants it to be her daughter's choice on whether or not she wants to go public.
"We're not quite positive that she wants to be a public figure yet, so we're gonna leave that up to her," Bell said. "And if she wants to, she can do a bunch of selfies, who cares? But we're not gonna make that decision for her."
Because Bell refused to cough up a photo, DeGeneres teased Bell with pictures of baby sloths, asking if her daughter was cuter. "She's close," Bell admitted. A year ago Bell infamously shared a home video of her having a meltdown from happiness when her husband brought a sloth for her to pet on her birthday. DeGenres then asked Bell to describe what her baby looked like, then drew a funny sketch of the infant. Bell also said that "Lincoln" has always been her husband's favorite name.
Although Bell has not shared any photos of her new baby, she was recently photographed with her new family while out in Los Angeles earlier this week. Photographers were able to capture a few blurry images of baby Lincoln, revealing the infant's face for the first time.
