Alright, listen up, folks. If you were secretly hoping to catch Sarah Michelle Gellar back on the big screen with her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., well, you might want to adjust those expectations. The chances of that happening? Slim to none, according to the actress herself.
During an appearance at WE Day California, which happens to be one of the world’s biggest youth empowerment events, Sarah, now 42, opened up about why she and Freddie probably won’t be sharing the screen anytime soon. “I doubt it, because then who’s home with the kids?” she joked. For the record, the couple has two beautiful children: a son named Rocky, who’s 6, and a daughter, Charlotte, who’s 9. Family comes first for these two, and it’s clear they’re prioritizing their kids over Hollywood projects.
Now, here’s something interesting: Sarah was also asked if her kids might follow in her footsteps and pursue acting careers. Her reaction? Pure terror. “I just shook my head,” she admitted, clearly not ready to imagine her little ones stepping into the spotlight. It’s not hard to see why—showbiz can be tough, and Sarah knows it better than most.

Sarah and Freddie’s On-Screen History
Let’s rewind a bit: Sarah and Freddie have shared the screen a few times in their careers. Back in the day, they worked together in 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer and later reunited in 2002’s Scooby-Doo. But these days, they’re more focused on raising their family than landing big roles. And honestly? Who could blame them? Family time is precious, and Sarah and Freddie seem to understand that better than most.
How They Make Time Count
Sarah has been candid about how she and Freddie make the most of their time with their kids. In a previous interview with Us Weekly, she shared, “It’s all about being present in the moments you have. Life is busy, and we’re all stretched thin, but when I’m with my family, I make sure I’m fully there. No phones, no distractions. Just pure, undivided attention.”

Quality Time Over Everything
In another interview, Sarah emphasized the importance of conversation and connection. “I hate seeing families at restaurants where the kids immediately get handed iPads or phones. That’s supposed to be a special time! When I was growing up, going out to eat was a big deal. It was something special that we did as a family. I want to keep that tradition alive for my kids,” she explained. Clearly, Sarah and Freddie value creating lasting memories over chasing the next big role.
