Several lush trees, thick patches of plants, and vines added to Roberts and Laighn's rustic dinner aesthetics, including a grilling station and two extra tables set up on each side.

Roberts updated fans with another picture that showed the beauty of the place at night. "Oh what a night to remember," Roberts noted about the dinner set-up with twinkling warm lights above the table.

On the couple's table decorated with flowers in a vase, there were water bottles and a bottle of wine. A pile of burnt charcoal in the grilling area glowed on the side surrounded by large stones.

Laign and Roberts have spent much time at home amid the pandemic. Even though they keep things private, they occasionally share a glimpse of their Connecticut home and their adorable dog, Lukas.

Apart from sharing about their dog, the "SportsCentre" star and her longtime partner recently gushed about discovering something beautiful in the spacious backyard of their home.

Laign shared on her social media feed several photos of bird nests with beautiful eggs inside them. She added that the nests came from a Robin, Songbird, and a Mourning Dove.

Roberts met Laign through a blind date, which they initially canceled twice. Both had an instant connection when they finally met, engaging in a warm conversation in between sipping cool drinks.

Their affections to each other grew stronger, and both eventually became a couple. While dating Laign, Roberts came out as a lesbian in 2013 and publicly spoke about her girlfriend.

Although they are often spotted together on red carpets, they usually keep a low profile. According to Roberts, Laign does not like being in the spotlight, but she remains supportive of her TV career.
