The star candidly replied: "We did have taco date but we both agree we need to do it more often" and she tagged her husband in the post.

Trying to make more time for date nights is a common theme in many relationships, and back in 2019, Alexis highlighted the importance of quality time with his wife.

The couple tied the knot in November 2017 with a lavish Disney-themed wedding in New Orleans. Famous guests included everyone from Beyonce and Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Rowland through to fellow tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.

It is believed that close friend Meghan Markle was unable to attend the momentous occasion due to her filming commitments with Suits.

Serena was every inch the blushing bride and she wore three show-stopping dresses on the day. Her main gown was an exquisite creation by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, the same designer who created the Duchess of Cambridge's dress. She looked like an actual princess!
