- This is Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr. parenting recipe
- The stars have two kids together
- The couple met in 1997
Hollywood's beloved duo Sarah Michelle Gellar (44, actress) and Freddie Prinze Jr. (46, actor) are spilling the tea on their "pretty strict" parenting style, and fans are here for the real-life plot twist! The stars, who first locked eyes on the set of the 1997 thriller 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' are not just screen legends but also parenting pros to their two starlets-in-training, Charlotte Grace (14) and Rocky James (11).
Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar: Balancing fame and family values
The couple, who tied the knot in a dreamy Mexico resort in 2002, have always been candid about their family values. Prinze Jr., who lost his father at a tender age, has been vocal about being a present dad, a role he cherishes over any Hollywood script. "I had kids and not having a dad, it was always more important to me to be a present father," he shared with 'People', striking a chord with fans worldwide.
Gellar, the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' alum, echoes her hubby's sentiments on being 100% present. "My phone goes off and I'm in their activity," she told Parade, setting #MomGoals for her legion of followers. The couple's dedication even led them to step back from the limelight to focus on their most important roles yet – being parents.
Raising responsible kids through life skills boot camp
When it comes to discipline, the Prinze household might as well be a boot camp for life skills! Washing dishes, making beds, and keeping rooms tidy are non-negotiables for Charlotte and Rocky. "They have to understand the value of working for stuff," Gellar explained, advocating for a no-allowance policy on chores.
The family's recent Italian getaway was a rare Instagram feature, giving fans a sneak peek into their private life. But it's not all work and no play; Gellar has earned "big mom points" for taking Charlotte to concerts, meeting pop icons like Taylor Swift.

Prinze kids' future plans
As for following in their famous footsteps, Charlotte has shown interest, but Gellar's rule is firm: no camera time until after high school graduation. "But she's just not going on camera while she's living under our roof," Gellar stated, ensuring her daughter learns the ropes before stepping into the spotlight.
Little Rocky, a budding boxer, might be a future Olympian, but Gellar ensures he, too, stays grounded, even with his left-handed superpowers. "The world is not set up for left-handed people," she playfully lamented.
While the Prinze clan might run a tight ship, Gellar's philosophy is simple: "Everyone still wants to come here!" And with their mix of love, discipline, and fun, it's no wonder this family is a Hollywood favorite.
