Sarah Michelle Gellar 'is glad to grow old with Freddie Prinze Jr'

Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar have been married since 2002

Sarah Michelle Gellar feels "lucky" to be married to Freddie Prinze Jr.

The 47-year-old actress and the Hollywood star - who turned 49 on Saturday (08.03.25) - tied the knot back in 2002, and Sarah has taken to social media to pay a glowing birthday tribute to her husband.

Alongside some throwback photographs, Sarah - who has Charlotte Grace, 15, and Rocky James, 12, with Freddie - wrote on Instagram: "Happy Birthday @realfreddieprinze The world got very lucky the day you were born, but no one more so than me (and our children) I’m so glad I get to grow old with you…and that you will always have a head start!! (sic)"

Despite this, Sarah previously admitted that a successful marriage requires hard work.

The actress - who is best known for playing the lead role in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', the hit TV series - told Fox News Digital: "I think everything takes work in you, whether it's a friendship or a work relationship or a marriage. You have to put the work in.

"And we live in an extremely disposable society now. Your phone breaks, you don't fix it. You get a new one. I think that's a lot of the attitude toward relationships."

Prior to that, Freddie revealed that the loved-up couple try to keep their romance out of the spotlight.

The actor - who starred alongside Sarah in the 'Scooby-Doo' film franchise - said on the 'Oldish' podcast: "You can control it to a certain degree...

"I don't know how deliberate [others] are in trying to avoid that BS. I know how easy it's been for us because I don't go anywhere. I don't go to parties. People don't see Sarah and I out and about at the popular places."
