"This may or may not have been a part of her training," he added. "But it felt right. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!"
The photo sparked a huge reaction from his followers and famous friends, including Nina Dobrev, who commented: "Hahahaha yesssss go girl! suns out buns out for that Emmy!!!"

Kristen had her own reaction to the news and shared a photo of her and series creator, Erin Foster, on Zoom with their mouths agape in excitement after learning of both of their Emmy nods.
"Finding out I was nominated for an Emmy – finding out @erinfoster was nominated for an Emmy!!!!" Kristen captioned the photo.

Kristen and Dax were first introduced in 2007 at a birthday party for their mutual friend, producer Shauna Robertson, but there were "no sparks whatsoever" between them.
However, Kristen added during an interview on Today: "I fell in love with him way before he fell in love with me."

Two weeks after their first meeting, the Veronica Mars and Parenthood stars met again at a hockey game. This time, they began to show more of an interest in each other.
"[We] started to flirt, left, and then a day after that I get a text that says 'Hi, my name is Dax. I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?'" Kristen told Today. "And I was like 'Excuse me? You sound stimulating.'"
© VarietyDax previously admitted that the beginning of their romance was filled with tension as he had been in an open relationship prior to Kristen.
"There was a ton of jealousy, for pretty good reasons," he said on The Drew Barrymore Show when discussing the early years of his romance with Kristen.
"I had been in an open relationship for nine years; I was blacked out a big chunk of my life. You know, there were a lot of things for [Kristen] to be concerned about."
