Who said love can’t last in the limelight? Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. and more celebrity couples prove relationships can work in Hollywood.
The I Know What You Did Last Summer costars, for example, have one of the most solid marriages in the industry. “There’s no keys. There’s no rules. There’s nothing like that. I don’t believe in false expectations,” Prinze Jr. exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2020. “I just believe in knowing who you are when you start a relationship. And if you don’t, then that relationship probably isn’t going to work.”
The She’s All That star elaborated on his and Gellar’s efforts to define themselves beyond their careers, which led to their thriving romance.
“For Sarah and I, we’re very private people. We try to make each other laugh, and we both kind of knew who we were,” he noted. “Hollywood’s a crazy business ‘cause there’s very few locals here. … And we can pick you out of a crowd. It’s like a lion seeing the weak gazelle. So, when you come out here, and you don’t know who you are, this business will define you and it will put its fingerprints all over you. It wants to do that. It needs to do that. And if you do know who you are, then you can kind of control your own destiny much more easily.”
