Gellar and Prinze first crossed paths on the set of their 1997 slasher film. It wasn't love at first sight, rather it took some time for the couple to navigate their feelings and take the next step. 

While chatting with PEOPLE back in 2001, Prinze said things only changed once the actors got to know each other more. "One day I gave her a ride to the gym," Prinze said at the time. “We talked on the way up, and she was a cool chick.”

“We were friends for a good two years before we went on a date". he also added. Later he said that since the duo took time to know each other before committing as a couple, it was easy since they knew each other through.

Furthermore, in another interview with PEOPLE in 2020, Gellar recalled how their unexpected first date happened. She explained that since they had been friends for a long time, they often hung out and went to dinner together.

Initially, they were supposed to be joined by another person, but when that person couldn't make it, Gellar and Prinze decided to go anyway.

"We were just two people at dinner catching up," she added. "We had a long car ride and a long dinner, and things just happened."

However, the chords struck right when, after their first date, Prinze said he knew Gellar was the one. "I didn't go on dates with other girls," he explained, "nor did I even want to pursue dates with other girls."

Today, the couple shares two children: daughter Charlotte, 14, and son Rocky, 11. They continue to charm audiences both on and off the big screen.
