Reese Witherspoon has admitted she and her husband spend their date nights doing homework with the kids.

The Oscar-winning actress has two children from her relationship with Ryan Phillippe and one with her new husband Jim Toth.

She revealed that although she and Jim put aside romantic time for each other, they often end up using it to help with spelling and sums, reported Us Weekly.

"Our date nights are mainly helping our kids with homework," laughed the Wild star.

"And then, going to sleep."

Reese, 38, is mum to Ava, 15, Deacon, 10, and Tennessee, who is almost two.
