Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar's Surprising Way to Avoid the Spotlight

"We just don't like that life."

Freddie Prinze Jr. and his longtime love Sarah Michelle Gellar first met in 1997 during the filming of I Know What You Did Last Summer, and went on to tie the knot in September 2002. Over 22 years of marriage later, and the A-list couple has somehow managed to keep their private lives under wraps. Prinze Jr. recently shared that this is by design.

The She's All That star appeared on fellow actor Brian Austin Green's podcast, "Oldish," where he opened up about how and why he and Gellar keep personal things out of the spotlight.

"Something that I've admired about your relationship is you both have seemed to stay out of the public," Spelling said, to which Prinze Jr. replied, "That's by choice, though. You can control it to a certain degree."

"How intentional do you have to be to do that?" Spelling asked, adding that it seems like a "very hard" thing to have control over.

"I don't know how deliberate [others] are in trying to avoid that BS," Prinze Jr. told Spelling and co-hosts Sharna Burgess and Randy Spelling. "I know how easy it's been for us because I don't go anywhere. I don't go to parties. People don't see Sarah and I out and about at the popular places. We have our restaurants that we like, and they're not super trendy in places where paparazzi hang out. So we're good at avoiding it."

Prinze Jr. continued, adding that he's "not trying to shit on anyone," though he feels like avoiding the limelight is "not that hard...if you really [want to.]"

The Scooby-Doo star explained that there are times when paparazzi wait at the bottom of his and Gellar's street, so they wait for more famous people on their block to leave first.

"They'll go follow [Arnold] Schwarzenegger and leave me alone," Prinze Jr. added. "There's no secret to it, and it wasn't hard. We just don't like that life."
