Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar don't think certain aspects of fame are all that.
Which is why the couple—who celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary in September—have chosen to keep their lives out of the spotlight as much as possible. And according to Freddie, it's something he does think celebrities can control "to a certain degree."
"I don't know how deliberate they are in trying to avoid that BS," Freddie explained on the Nov. 4 episode of Brian Austin Green's Oldish podcast. "I know how easy it's been for us ‘cause I don't go anywhere."
According to Freddie, for him and Sarah—who are parents to daughter Charlotte, 15, and son Rocky, 12—maintaining that level of privacy is incredibly important.
"People don't see Sarah and I out and about at the popular places," the 48-year-old continued. "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."
The She's All That Star noted that while paparazzi will oftentimes be waiting in their neighborhood, he joked, "There's people that are way more famous than me on my street."
"So I'll just make sure they leave first," he laughed. "They'll go follow Schwarzenegger and leave me alone. You know what I mean?"
The Star Wars: Rebels alum also thinks it helps that Sarah "grew up in New York" and "experienced everything before she was 21 years old." And as for Freddie, it's not something he really feels the need to be a part of.
He added, "There's no secret to it, and it wasn't hard. We just don't like that life."
And much like he doesn't think there's a secret to living the life they've chosen, Freddie also previously discussed how he doesn't think there's a huge secret to their long-lasting romance.
"There's no secret man," he told E! News in August, "maybe it's just dumb luck we just found each other at the right time."
And as Sarah explained, she and Freddie make a point of finding activities that are just for them—like when the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum joins her husband for paint nights.
"I love it," the 47-year-old told E! in February. "Mine aren't as good as his. I don't do it as often. I also love adult coloring books. Sometimes, I'll just go up to his office with him. We'll just paint and we'll talk and just chill."
To see more of Freddie and Sarah's cutest moments over the years, keep reading.
In January 2019, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. had a double date with Shannen Doherty and her now-ex Kurt Iswarienko.
"No mistletoe, no problem," the mom of two wrote on this December 2018 kissy photo.
In 2018, the lovebirds took their Halloween costumes to the next level by dressing up as characters from The Royal Tenenbaums.
It doesn't matter what these two do, as long as they're together they are having a good time.
"If you were ice cream, you would be my favorite flavor," Gellar captioned this sweet snap in 2018.
"It's the freakin weekend, baby I'm about to have me some fun," Gellar wrote on this cheeky post in March of 2018.
In December 2017, the cute couple had some fun at an engagement party thanks to photo booth props.
Gellar channeled her inner Molly Ringwald with her Andie costume from Pretty in Pink in 2017 while her husband nailed it as Duckie (played by Jon Cryer) from the film.
"The only time I don't mind giving up #independence lol," Gellar joked to her followers on the 4th of July in 2017.
The couple that snaps selfies together, stays together!
Gellar's birthday message in 2017 to her bestie and husband was just the cutest. "Happy birthday @realfreddieprinze 'the happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.'"
In January 2017, the pair celebrated National Spouse Day by taking this pic and it's too cute.
"Someone let me know who that red head was seen trick or treating with @realfreddieprinze ..." Gellar joked on Instagram while celebrating Halloween in 2016.
The Scooby-Doo stars soaked up the last bits of summer together in 2016 and clearly they enjoyed every minute together.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum couldn't help but gush about her husband after his cookbook came out.
"Finally out like the adults we are...to see #fantasticalbeastsandwheretofindthem," Gellar revealed while out on a date night in November 2016.
In October 2015, the duo posed with wrestling belts and tried to out muscle each other.
The bond between Gellar, Prinze and Selma Blair has lasted for three decades and we can't wait to see what they do during the next three.
The Back to the Kitchen author and his wife are often found in the kitchen whipping up delicious meals for their family.
In this adorable throwback, Gellar revealed that the couple took this photo in Hawaii after they learned they were expecting their daughter Charlotte!
These two have had a lot of fun in their relationship, and the Foodstirs creator's Dirty 30 was no exception.
This throwback snap is from when the happy couple had their first Thanksgiving together and it's a total blast from the past.
The I Know What You Did Last Summer co-stars look like babies in this photo from a vacation way back before they had kids together.
We just love these two.
If you've ever wanted to know what Prinze and Gellar looked like when celebrating their first holiday together, then look no further!
How happy do these two lovebirds look in this sweet photo from their honeymoon back in 2002?!
Clearly this pair was a match made in smiley heaven.
"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you," Gellar shared on one of her past wedding anniversaries. "I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me."
