SARAH MICHELLE GELLER AND FREDDIE PRINZE JR. CELEBRATE DAUGHTER CHARLOTTE'S 16TH BIRTHDAY WITH A STUNNING PRESENT!

It's a milestone birthday for celebrity couple Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.'s daughter, Charlotte! The sweet sixteen celebration was marked with a traditional yet lavish gift - a brand new car! But that's not all; the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star also shared some juicy insights into her marriage and parenting journey.

As reported on thescholarlynote.com, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have been married since 2002, making them one of Hollywood's rare lasting celebrity couples. The couple welcomed their adorable daughter Charlotte in 2009, followed by their son Rocky in 2012. What's more interesting is that the two kids' birthdays are just a day apart - talk about sibling rivalry!

To celebrate Charlotte's sweet sixteen, Sarah took to Instagram to share some behind-the-scenes glimpses of the family's festivities. The highlight of the celebration was, of course, the gift - a sleek 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, which comes with a hefty price tag of $47,550 for a two-door and $52,050 for a four-door.

But what makes this gift even more special is the thought and love behind it. Sarah's Instagram post was filled with praise and admiration for her daughter, who has grown into an independent and kind-hearted young woman. In her caption, she shared a heartfelt message: "16 years ago today, you made me a mom... Charlotte, you are strong, inspiring, kind, funny (almost as funny as me), and most importantly, one of a kind - the best kind."

Sarah's words were laced with nostalgia and appreciation for the journey they've shared so far. She confessed that becoming a mother has been a life-changing experience, making her realize how much she values her relationship with Freddie. "Being married for 10 years before Rocky was born was different," she explained. "But suddenly, you're worried about these little beings 24/7 - it's an all-consuming and stressful way to live."

In a candid conversation last year on SheKnows, Sarah shared that parenting is a continuous learning process, especially with the rapid advancements in technology. "We have no roadmap," she said. "There are some things where we can ask people who've been through it, but this is a new frontier. And so, we're really sort of learning as we go, and I think that's always incredibly challenging."

As for their secret to a lasting marriage, Sarah revealed something that might surprise you - separate bathrooms! "It's really that simple," she told Jenna Bush Hager on an episode of Today with Jenna and Friends earlier this year. Yes, you read that right; the Cruel Intentions star believes having a separate bathroom is key to maintaining independence in a relationship.

In fact, Sarah had shared similar sentiments on Harry Connick Jr.'s talk show back in 2017. "There are certain things that should just be kept your own and never need to know," she explained. "Also, maybe, possibly, a separate shopping credit card; or if you're a guy, maybe a separate gaming card so I don't have to see how much video games cost!"

It's clear that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. are one of Hollywood's most loving and dedicated couples. As they continue to navigate the ups and downs of parenting, their love for each other and their children remains unwavering. Here's to many more years of happiness and adventures together!

Over the past 23 years, Sarah and Freddie have emerged as a rare example of a lasting celebrity marriage - and earlier this year she shared their secret: 'Separate bathrooms'
