Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. celebrated 24 years of marriage on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, marking over two decades together as one of Hollywood’s longest lasting love stories. The 49-year-old actress commemorated the milestone by sharing several throwback photographs on Instagram from the early days of her relationship with the 50-year-old actor.
The longtime couple first met on the set of the 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer, starring alongside Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Phillippe. They remained friends for two years before officially beginning a romantic relationship, eventually marrying in 2002.
A Friendship That Turned Into Marriage
The couple has previously spoken about the gradual progression of their relationship. According to statements made by Prinze Jr. during an interview with Access Hollywood at the premiere of the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, the pair lived ten minutes apart, which made maintaining their friendship easy before it evolved into romance.
Their first official date happened by accident. Prinze Jr. recounted on The Howard Stern Show that a planned group dinner fell through when everyone else canceled, leaving just the two of them. After dating for several years, Prinze Jr. proposed in 2001, preferring a private proposal over a public spectacle, as Gellar later noted.
Collaborative Projects and Family Life
Following their 2002 wedding, Gellar and Prinze Jr. shared the screen on multiple professional projects. They starred together in the live-action Scooby-Doo film released in 2002, followed by the 2004 sequel Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed, and both provided voice acting for the 2006 animated feature Happily N’Ever After.
The family milestone follows another major celebration earlier in the year, when Prinze Jr. marked his 50th birthday in March 2026.
