Sarah Michelle Gellar And Freddie Prinze Jr. Are Super-Touchy Feely In These Pics

It isn’t unusual for friends to set each other up—inviting two people you think might vibe to a party or a dinner so they can get to know each other. But in Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.’s case, they got together because their friend never actually showed up.

In 2000, Sarah and Freddie made plans to grab dinner with a mutual pal. But when that friend missed her flight, Sarah and Freddie (who met when they starred in the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer) decided to go ahead with their plans anyway. "We'd had tons of dinners before and for some reason it just felt different that night, and organically it just transitioned into something else,” Sarah told Us Weekly.

One marriage, two kids, and 20 years later, “we still go to that restaurant for dinner,” Sarah wrote on Instagram.

Because of their roles in the Scooby-Doo franchise as Fred and Daphne, Sarah’s on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and Freddie's in She’s All That, this was a match made in aughts heaven. They were that couple who ruled the screen and had real-life staying power.

Since having kids though, Sarah and Freddie have appeared on fewer red carpets together and focused on their family. “When my daughter was born, that was pretty much it for me,” Freddie told E! News, because being a father is “what I love to do.” But despite the more private lifestyle the couple’s adopted, the way they love each other is no different than it was during their early days.
