Gellar, now 48, logged in for a video call with Weaving, 34, where she jokingly described Prinze Jr. as a “Luddite.” She remarked, “He hates when I say that, but it’s actually the definition. If he comes near my stuff, it breaks.” This amusing exchange brought to light how Gellar and Prinze Jr.’s contrasting approaches to technology create a quirky aspect of their marriage.
The term “Luddite” generally refers to someone who is resistant to technological advancements. Gellar’s affectionate jab at her husband suggests that their playful banter often serves as a source of camaraderie in their long-lasting relationship. Both actresses appeared to share a mutual understanding of the challenges posed by modern devices, with Weaving also admitting, “I’m allergic to technology, I think.”
In addition to sharing light-hearted anecdotes, Gellar reflects on her 23-year marriage to Prinze Jr. in a cover story for PEOPLE magazine. She explained that maintaining a degree of privacy in their relationship has played a crucial role in its longevity. “I always say I’m two people: I’m Sarah Michelle Gellar, and I’m Sarah Prinze. They’re different people,” Gellar elaborated, explaining how her life as Sarah Prinze is characterised by a quieter, more intimate existence.
Despite the couple’s occasional lapses regarding their anniversary—Gellar jokingly mentioned their tendency to forget how many years they have been married—they seem to cherish their partnership. “Our running joke is every year we have to look up when our anniversary is. Thankfully, People.com always reminds us!” Gellar added, tying a humorous note to this aspect of their committed bond.
Freddie Prinze Jr., 50, also weighed in on their enduring relationship ethos during a recent interview with Variety. He candidly acknowledged that marriage is a challenge, irrespective of one’s profession. He noted, “What works for us might not work for everyone else. We work at it.” His comments reflect a mature understanding of the complexities involved in a long-term relationship.
Prinze Jr. further emphasised the importance of respect in their marriage, stating, “I’m not perfect. She’s not perfect. We piss each other off, but we respect one another.” This grounded perspective complements Gellar’s playful representation of their union, showcasing that beneath the teasing resides a profound respect and commitment to each other.
The couple originally crossed paths in 1997 while filming the horror classic, I Know What You Did Last Summer. Since then, they have built a family together, welcoming their daughter Charlotte, 16, and son Rocky, 13. As this beloved pair prepares to celebrate their 24th wedding anniversary in September, they reflect on a journey that blends humour, respect, and shared experiences.
Their latest collaboration, *Ready or Not 2: Here I Come*, is currently in theatres, offering fans yet another opportunity to appreciate the dynamic they bring both on-screen and within their personal lives. As they navigate their careers and family life, Gellar and Prinze Jr. continue to exemplify how love, respect, and a good dose of humour can sustain a marriage through the years.
