Dax Shepard is prepared to be a grandpa.
The 51-year-old actor and podcast host opened up about his younger daughter, Delta, 11, recently expressing her desire to become a mom and how he reacted to the news.
"Delty was saying how she can't wait to have a baby," Shepard recalled on the Monday, Jan. 5 episode of his Armchair Expert podcast.
Shepard said he thinks Delta would make a great mom, noting, "For people who don't know, our life is a traveling circus of Delty's stuffies. The bulk of our luggage as a family are her stuffies."
Shepard, who is also dad to 12-year-old daughter Lincoln with his wife Kristen Bell, said that when Delta first approached him about wanting to become a mom, he was focused on not appearing judgmental.

"She's saying she wants to have a baby, and I said, 'When do you think you'll have your first child? When you turn 18?' I want to be supportive of whatever," he explained. "I don't want to plant any seeds that I'd be judgmental or whatever."
However, Delta was not interested in becoming a mom at the age of 18.
The proud dad guessed that she'd want to welcome a child between the ages of 35 and 45, and even offered to help his daughter out.

"I said, 'If you want to, we'll freeze your eggs when you're 18. I'll pay for you to get your eggs frozen so you don't have to think about that,' " Shepard explained, adding, "acknowledging all luck and privilege, obviously, this isn't an option for most people. But I think given where it's, the trajectory it would make the most sense. I think they're going to be wrestling with the same thing every woman is. You're gonna want to do your career…."
However, Shepard said Delta thought his proposed age range was "crazy" and "too old."
"Again, she's 11 so that probably seems like 80," Shepard noted. "She's thinking mid-20s."

In March 2025, Shepard spoke about Delta's take on Sabrina Carpenter's song "Juno."
"She goes, 'But do you know what Juno is?' and I go, 'No…' and she's like, 'Well, it's a movie,' and I go, 'The movie Juno? Yes, I know.' And she goes, 'Yeah, it's a story about a girl who gets pregnant,' " he recalled on an episode of Armchair Expert. "I go, 'That's a little nasty.' And she goes, 'What's nasty about wanting to have a baby with somebody?' "
