Gellar shared that the pair beingmindful and presentduring their time together is one of the secrets to their long-lasting marriage.
“Take the 10 minutes – put the phone down. Have a cup of coffee together. Walk the dog at the end of the night. Read a story with your kids,” she told PEOPLE in 2020. “Make the most of the time that you have. We are all pulled in so many directions, so make sure that, whichever one you are focusing on, you’re present.”
Prinze also joked about why Gellar has stuck around, saying on Australia’sThe Kyle & Jackie O Showin 2022, “I hate a mess. If something is dirty, I clean it. I do the dishes while I’m cooking so there’s less s— to look at.”
He added, “I can’t stand a mess: my room is spotless, my car is spotless. I’m one day late for a haircut and I’m going crazy.”
The actor also does the laundry and cooks all the meals in the couple’s household. “My mom was a chef and I learned how to cook, and I married someone who couldn’t cook,” he said. “So I’m necessary. She needs me to live and sustain herself.”
