AceShowbiz - Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr., known for their roles in cult classics like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "She's All That", celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary recently. The pair, who initially met on the set of the 1997 horror film "I Know What You Did Last Summer", have since become a beloved staple in the entertainment industry.
Their marriage is a testament to their undeniable chemistry, which was evident even on their first date, which happened by accident. "We were supposed to go with someone else, and the third person didn't make it out," Gellar recalled to PEOPLE Now in 2020. "We were just two people at dinner catching up."
Their bond grew stronger over time, and they eventually said "I do" in 2002. The couple shares two children, daughter Charlotte, 14, and son Rocky, 11.
Fans of the "Scooby-Doo" alums took to Instagram to congratulate the couple, drawing parallels between their on-screen and off-screen chemistry. Gellar and Prinze Jr. portrayed Fred Jones and Daphne Blake in the 2002 and 2004 "Scooby-Doo" films, respectively.
Despite the challenges of balancing their careers and family life, Gellar and Prinze Jr.'s relationship has flourished. As Gellar shared with People, the key to their success lies in mindfulness and time management. "Take the 10 minutes - put the phone down. Have a cup of coffee together. Walk the dog at the end of the night. Read a story with your kids," she advised. "Make the most of the time that you have."
The couple's admirable approach to maintaining a healthy and long-lasting relationship has not only endeared them to fans but also serves as an inspiration to those seeking a similar bond. Their journey is a reminder that love and commitment can triumph over the challenges of fame and time.
