Sarah Michelle Gellar Marks Freddie Prinze Jr.’s 50th With Loving Instagram Tribute

The birthday message reflects a low‑key approach to fame that the couple credits with sustaining their long marriage.

Overview

  • Freddie Prinze Jr. turned 50 on March 8, and Sarah Michelle Gellar honored him on Instagram with the note, “Happy Milestone Bday @realfreddieprinze… Age is simply the number of years the world has gotten to enjoy you.”
  • Her post featured two playful photos of the pair, including one with silly faces and another with Gellar kissing Prinze on the cheek.
  • Celebrity friends such as Lisa Rinna, Amanda Kloots, and Heather Dubrow added birthday wishes in the comments.
  • The couple met on the 1997 set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, got engaged in April 2001, and wed in September 2002 during a ceremony in Mexico.
  • They share two children, Charlotte (2009) and Rocky (2012), and Prinze said in 2025 that “marriage is hard” and “we work at it,” with both emphasizing privacy and even a separate‑bathrooms rule.
