As she logged onto a video call to speak with her Ready or Not 2: Here I Come costar Samara Weaving for Interview Magazine, Gellar, 48, said, “I have a new computer, and I totally can’t figure out how it works.”
“I’m allergic to technology, I think," Weaving, 34, replied.
“I always call Freddie [Prinze Jr.] a Luddite and he hates when I say that, but it’s actually the definition,” Gellar said of her husband. “If he comes near my stuff, it breaks.”
“I’m the Luddite,” Weaving joked.

In her recent PEOPLE cover story, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star opened up about her 23-year marriage with Prinze, 50, and how keeping their relationship private has helped its longevity.
“I always say I’m two people: I’m Sarah Michelle Gellar, and I’m Sarah Prinze,” Gellar said. "They’re different people." Sarah Prinze, she said, has "a quieter life and a private life.”
“Our running joke is every year we have to look up when our anniversary is. Thankfully, People.com always reminds us!” she quipped. “Then we always get how many years confused. We know that we started dating in 2000, so that’s easier.”

In a July 2025 interview with Variety, Prinze revealed the key to keeping their marriage strong.
"Marriage is hard, no matter what business you’re in. What works for us might not work for everyone else. We work at it," he said, adding, "I’m not perfect. She’s not perfect. We piss each other off, but we respect one another."
The couple, who first met when they both starred in 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, will celebrate their 24th year of marriage in September. They share daughter Charlotte, 16, and son Rocky, 13.
