After more than 20 years of marriage, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar shared her “simple secret” to a happy and lasting relationship with actor Freddie Prinze Jr. The two met on the set of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (1997).

During an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends, Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, told the hosts how she keeps her marriage strong with Freddie Prinze Jr., 49.

Sarah and Freddie met while filming “I Know What You Did Last Summer” in 1997 and started dating shortly after.

At the start of their relationship, they starred together in several films, including “She’s All That” (1999), the 2002 live-action “Scooby-Doo” — the same year they got married — and its 2004 sequel.

Hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Tiffany Haddish asked Sarah Michelle Gellar what the “secret” was to staying together for 23 years.

“Separate bathrooms. It’s as simple as that,” replied the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star.

In an interview on Harry Connick Jr.’s talk show, she mentioned that they made this decision in 2017.

“I feel like there are certain things that should remain yours, and the other person never needs to know. Maybe even, who knows, a separate credit card for shopping?” she explained.

The couple was seen celebrating their 22nd wedding anniversary in a heartfelt Instagram post in September 2024.

During their marriage, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. had two children: Charlotte, now 15, and Rocky, now 12.
