Renée and Alexis sometimes go out on date nights. On one of their date nights in October 2015, their time out was documented as part of an interview. For the night, the couple went out with three other couples living close to them.

They all left their kids with babysitters so they could have a great night. Her manager had suggested a night out at the "Escape the Room" puzzle game center because the actress loves competition.

During the interview, as they arrived at the location, she revealed that she loved spending time with friends. She collaborated effectively with her husband on their task, and they all emerged victorious.

On May 5, 2009, Renée and Alexis welcomed their first child, a son, Benjamin Johnson. In 2014, they adopted their daughter, Brielle Johnson, from Africa. She was born on February 15, 2013. While speaking about parenting, the actress said:

"I wish, mainly, that I could have a job and work all the time and also not have to leave my kids. If there was a way to clone myself, and be at every parent-teacher meeting and be there to put my kids to bed every single night, and also star on Broadway, that's what I would do."

The actress never fails to celebrate her family, and on Christmas day in 2022, she sent love to her followers by posting a video consisting of pictures of her family. When Brielle turned ten in 2023, she also posted a video to celebrate the moment.
