Sarah Michelle Gellar Details the Work Behind Her 23-Year Marriage in PEOPLE Cover Story

She credits privacy and small domestic compromises for lasting peace at home.

Overview

  • Gellar tells PEOPLE that long-term relationships last only when both partners are willing to put in steady work.
  • She says their practical “one bedroom, two bathrooms” setup helps prevent “a lot of petty fighting.”
  • Gellar describes living as “two people” — public-facing Sarah Michelle Gellar and private “Sarah Prinze” — and says fans have respected that quieter life.
  • She and Freddie Prinze Jr. met on I Know What You Did Last Summer, went public in 2000, married in 2002, and are raising two children.
  • Professionally, she notes the recent, unexpected cancellation of the Chloé Zhao–helmed Buffy reboot, while moving ahead as a judge on Netflix’s Star Search and promoting Ready or Not 2, releasing in March.
