Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. recently showcased their commitment to fitness by exercising together at Alo Gym. Gellar, 48, shared a lively video on her Instagram Story on July 11, 2023, featuring the couple engaging in various workouts. To the energetic sounds of Boston’s “More Than a Feeling,” they performed pull-ups, engaged in stationary biking, and lifted free weights side by side.
The couple’s workout took a playful turn when Gellar took a moment to rest on a sled, while Prinze Jr., 49, pulled her around the gym. She later attempted the sled exercise herself, albeit without any added weight. Their post-workout fatigue was evident in a photo shared by their trainer, captioned simply with “Fam.”
Long-Lasting Partnership and Family Life
Gellar and Prinze Jr. first crossed paths on the set of the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Their relationship blossomed, leading to their marriage in 2002. The couple welcomed their daughter, Charlotte, in 2009, and son, Rocky, in 2012. Despite being one of Hollywood’s enduring couples, they have maintained a relatively private life, often expressing mutual support.
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Prinze Jr. discussed the family’s time in Australia while he reprised his role as Ray Bronson in the anticipated revival of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Gellar and the children visited him on set, allowing them to experience the behind-the-scenes action of a slasher film. Prinze Jr. noted that their kids enjoyed seeing “fake dead bodies,” a hallmark of the genre.
Fitness Goals and Upcoming Projects
While Prinze Jr. returns to familiar territory, Gellar is preparing for her own revival, stepping back into the role of Buffy Summers from the iconic series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which originally aired from 1996 to 2003. In February, she confirmed that a revival was officially underway and is set to star in the horror sequel Ready or Not 2 next year.
Gellar emphasizes the importance of fitness not just for her roles but also for personal well-being. In a July 10 interview with Women’s Health, she stated, “As I’ve got older, I’ve learned that, as a woman, you need to lift for your general health, especially for your bone density.” She highlighted the necessity of training to protect herself from injuries associated with her acting roles, noting, “I’m looking to be healthier, not to change my entire body shape.”
In a world where celebrity relationships often attract scrutiny, Gellar and Prinze Jr. embody a supportive partnership, balancing their professional aspirations with family life. Their recent fitness activities serve as a testament to their commitment to health and one another.
