However, the 53-year-old—who tied the knot with Jessica in 2020—noted that she and her wife do enjoy a quiet night in front of the TV as well. 

"We go old school and watch the classics," Niecy explained, listing All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place as some of her favorites. Meanwhile, Jessica, who the Claws actress lovingly described as her "center of gravity," shared that the two have also been watching The Morning Show.

She said of her fashion choice, "I wanted to evoke romance and old Hollywood."
