Seth Meyers uses Met Gala as a date night

Seth Meyers admitted he just enjoyed being able to get "away from his children" as he attended the Met Gala with his wife Alexi Ashe.

The couple have 21-month-old Adelaide, Ashe, seven and five-year-old Axel and he joked that he was looking forward to being on a "date night" with Alexi.

He told E! News: "We are not people who are inspired, we just listen and follow instructions. In this case, we followed the guidance of Tom Ford. [We're enjoying] being away from our children, are we allowed to say that? Tonight's a date night. We haven't had a fight yet and usually halfway up the stairs we're at each other's throats!"
