Sarah Michelle Gellar claimed her 23-year marriage with Freddie Prinze, Jr. remains intact because they share a bedroom — but not a bathroom.
The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” actress told Peoplein an interview published Wednesday that “one bedroom, two bathrooms” keeps the famous couple from “a lot of petty fighting.”
“You don’t have to be so fancy that there’s two bathrooms in your bedroom! ” she clarified to the outlet. “There just has to be another bathroom available.”
She also shared that she and Prinze, 50, have enjoyed “a quieter life and a private life” since their 2002 nuptials.
“We’re allowed to live in that,” she continued. “And our fans have been so respectful of that.”
Since meeting on the set of 2000’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” they’ve also built a family. Together, they’re quietly raising daughter Charlotte, 16, and son Rocky, 13.
“I always say I’m two people: I’m Sarah Michelle Gellar and I’m Sarah Prinze,” Gellar, 48, said elsewhere in the interview. “They’re different people.”
Gellar’s comments come after the devastating cancellation of her “Buffy” reboot, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale,” which had already filmed a pilot episode.
The actress later said an executive on the show was “not a fan of the original” series, and told Page Six Radio that she hopes it doesn’t leak.
“Because then everyone’s going to have an opinion on this and that,” she explained. “And pilots are not finished. It wasn’t done.”
Her marriage to Prinze, however, appears to be here to stay.
In a more serious 2024 interview with Fox News Digital, Gellar lamented living in “an extremely disposable society” that treats marriage not as something to be fixed, but to be thrown away — an ideology she rejects.
“I think everything takes work in you, whether it’s a friendship or a work relationship or a marriage,”she told the outlet. “You have to put the work in.”
Prinze, meanwhile, agrees. “We work at it,” he told Variety last July.
