Sarah Michelle Gellar Reveals Secret to 23-Year Marriage

Sarah Michelle Gellar credits 'separate bathrooms' as the simple secret behind her decades-long marriage to Freddie Prinze Jr., a point she has reiterated in multiple interviews, including her recent appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends. Gellar explained that maintaining some personal space, such as having private bathrooms and possibly separate shopping or gaming credit cards, helps preserve harmony in their relationship. Both she and Prinze Jr., who met on the set of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and have been married for over 22 years, emphasize the importance of balancing togetherness with individual privacy. The couple, who share two children, have also chosen to keep their family life relatively private and out of the public eye. While Gellar underscores the need for effort and intentionality in any long-term relationship, she believes these practical boundaries play a key role in their enduring partnership.
