It comes after Rachel recently detailed how difficult it can be to spend quality time with her husband due to their busy schedules.

The couple began dating in 2014, and surprised friends and family with a whirlwind Las Vegas wedding in 2019. They share two children together.

Speaking to The Sun, she revealed it can be challenging for the couple to find alone time as they both juggle work and parenthood. She said date nights can be rare for the couple but the TV personality also admitted she wouldn't change a thing.
She admitted: "When you first get together, if they're away for three months and you've only been together a month, it's a big deal,' she explained. "But when you've been together the best part of a decade and you can see a future of how ever many more decades that you get together, it kind of changes your perspective. It's nice to have date nights especially as we can be ships that pass in the night, especially when you have kids as well."
Speaking to HELLO last this year, the star revealed the couple don't plan on having anymore children and are happy with their two girls. She explained: "We're just starting to get out of the woods and they can play together now. They can be left together for a little bit, it's starting to get a little bit easier. So I think we're on that note."
