"I think Elsa should have whoever she wants and would fully support her happiness," she wrote.

Parenthood Superfan: While fans can understand that Kristen was a huge fan of her husband's character on NBC's long-running drama, one had to ask about another star that really caught her attention. "Mae Whitman as Amber," she shared. "Or truthfully, Mae Whitman as Mae Whitman. She's the greatest light bulb we have."

Future in Late-Night: Back in May of 2017, Kristen had the opportunity to fill in for Jimmy Kimmel on his late-night series Jimmy Kimmel Live! Her monologue and time on the show received rave reviews causing one fan to wonder if she would like a show of her own. "I've thought about a show...but Jimmy is a good friend and I see how its ALOT more work than many think it is," she shared. "So I'm not quite ready for that yet."

Secrets to Happiness: Sometimes the best advice is the simplest advice.  If you're ever feeling low and want to make things a little bit better, Kristen shared her tips for turning that frown upside down. "Go outside, take deep breaths on a walk, WORK OUT, always work out. Get your heart rate up and get the endorphin's you deserve." And maybe read a Reddit AMA from Kristen. Well done, girl.
