Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar: The Secret to Their Private 22-Year Marriage
Sarah Michelle GellarFreddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar have mastered the art of staying away from the Hollywood spotlight—a decision that has played a significant role in the longevity of their 22-year marriage. In a recent podcast appearance on 'Oldish', hosted by Brian Austin Green, the actor shared insights into how they maintain their privacy amidst the ever-intrusive world of fame.
Freddie Prinze Jr. emphasized that keeping their relationship private is a conscious choice. He explained, "You can control it to a certain degree". This choice is reflected in their lifestyle; neither he nor Gellar frequents the party scene or the popular hangouts where celebrities are often photographed. Instead, they enjoy the quieter side of life, opting for less trendy restaurants and spaces where they're unlikely to encounter paparazzi.
According to Prinze, avoiding the Hollywood "BS" isn't as challenging as it might seem. "There’s no secret to it, and it wasn’t hard", he remarked, underscoring their lack of interest in the typical celebrity lifestyle. Both Prinze and Gellar choose to lead lives away from the limelight, favoring family-centric activities with their two children, Charlotte and Rocky, over high-profile events.
During the interview, Prinze also highlighted their strategic approach to evading photographers in their neighborhood. "I wait for the paparazzi to follow other more famous people and then leave", he joked, referencing his notorious neighbors like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Initially meeting in 1997 on the set of "I Know What You Did Last Summer", Prinze and Gellar have since built a life that prioritizes their family and personal happiness over public appearances. As Prinze prepares to reprise his role in the upcoming sequel of the hit horror franchise, he and Gellar continue to prove that in Hollywood, privacy and marital harmony can indeed coexist.
