Sarah Michelle Gellar recently revealed a simple yet effective rule that has helped her and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., maintain a strong and harmonious marriage as they approach their 24th anniversary. During an interview with E! News at the premiere of Netflix’s Star Search, where she serves as a judge, Gellar shared her secret to a successful partnership: “Separate bathrooms. That’s what I always say.”
This practical approach reflects Gellar’s belief that personal space can contribute positively to a relationship. Fellow judge Chrissy Teigen echoed this sentiment, noting that having designated areas helps preserve intimacy with her spouse, John Legend, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a romantic atmosphere in a marriage.
The couple, who married in 2002, has openly discussed the keys to their enduring love, attributing their success to friendship, mutual respect, and quality time together. In past interviews, Prinze noted that while marriage requires hard work, their strong foundation is rooted in their initial friendship. He emphasized the importance of respect, acknowledging that even though they annoy each other at times, they continuously strive to support one another.
Gellar also mentioned the value of being attentive to each other and carving out moments for connection in their daily lives. Whether it’s sharing a cup of coffee or simply spending time with their children, she believes that being present is crucial in a world full of distractions.
Together, Gellar and Prinze are not just navigating the complexities of marriage but also parenting their two children, Charlotte Grace and Rocky James. Their commitment to each other and their family showcases the enduring power of love, friendship, and shared values in a long-lasting partnership.
