AceShowbiz - Sarah Michelle Gellar has set the record straight about her husband Freddie Prinze Jr.'s condition after spinal surgery. While attending the 4th annual Santa's Secret Workshop at the Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood on Saturday, December 6, Sarah was asked about Freddie's recovery progress.
"You mean (sarcastic tone) 'learning how to walk'?! I can't even," the star of "The Crazy Ones" replied and laughed. "I'm not joking," she continued, "Our mail woman - god bless her heart - was like, 'I prayed for you Freddie and it worked, you're walking'. He's fine. He did have very serious surgery, there's no question, but his 'learning how to walk again' has been greatly exaggerated."
Talking about her family, Sarah gushed over her two children, 5-year-old Charlotte and 2-year-old Rocky. "They're getting to the age where they understand the holidays [aren't] just about getting presents, that it's so much about giving back and being appreciative for what they can do," she said.
"We packed up food for SOVA this year, and it made them understand that not all kids have Thanksgiving food," the "Scooby-Doo" actress added, "So it's been really special for me this year to merge my traditions which is gift giving and experiencing the holidays but also giving back."
In recent weeks, Freddie kept his fans updated about his recovery after having a spinal surgery in late November. He shared a series of selfies on Twitter, including one which showed him sporting a neck brace. The "Star Wars Rebels" actor captioned the photo, "#KeepItPlayful Learnin to walk again is like learning jiu-jitsu - 1 technique at a time."
