Lasting Celebrity Couples, Day 1 of 5

So, we always here about celebrity couples breaking up, going through bitter divorces, custody battles, so on and so forth; but nobody ever talks about those celebrity couples who have lasted. It’s time for us to be a little more positive and start looking at the bright side of things.

Contrary to popular belief, celebrity couples can make it work. They just need some extra determination and lots of love. I am a firm believer that love will conquer all, it just needs to be strong enough to.

Each day this week, I will list, in order from most recent to longest marriage, a celebrity couple that has been together through thick and thin, for at least 5 years.

Today’s couple is Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. Married since 2002, this couple made us all simultaneously say, “Awww, they’re so cute,” everytime we saw them together.


The couple first met in 1997, and after 5 years of dating, tied the knot in September of 2002, in a beautiful ceremony in Mexico. It was a 4-day affair with 60 of their closest friends and family.




If rain on your wedding day is good luck, these two are for sure going to have a lifetime of happiness. They got married through Hurrican Hernan and then suffered through a 4.6 earthquake that took place the next day. Thankfully, no one was hurt.


Now, the couple is expecting their first child in the fall. Doesn’t Sarah Michelle make a cute pregnant woman? I wonder if she’s been called “Prego” yet?
