Sarah Michelle Geller and Freddie Prinze Jr. have been married since 2002, and are still going strong. 

So what is the secret to marital success? Apparently the answer has to do with having one’s own personal space. 

The actress who was in Paris for Fashion Week in March, shared the secret on Thursday when she stopped by the Today studios for a chat with Jenna and Friends host Jenna Bush Hager and her guest host Tiffany Haddish.

‘Separate bathrooms,’ she state authoritatively to the astonished hosts.

‘That’s it? It’s that simple?’ Hager queried.

‘It’s that simple,’ the Dexter: Original Sin star, 48, confirmed.

Comedian Tiffany Haddish had a different idea, inspired by the golden age of television. 

‘See, I was thinking it was like the Lucy and Ricky thing [ from I Love Lucy] where you both had twin beds, and then when y’all want to get together, you push them together, and when you want to be apart, you push them apart,’ she suggested.

‘I had not thought of that,’ the Wolf Pack star admitted, adding, ‘that is actually a really good idea.’

Geller and Prinze, 49, met on the set of 1999’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is getting a reboot. 

The action star revealed on social media in November 2024 that she was with Prinze in Australia  for production on the fright flick. 

A new trailer for the gory thriller was release on Tuesday. 

Geller’s Helen Shivers was killed in the 90s film. 

Prinze, 49, reprises his role as Ray Bronson and Jennifer Love Hewitt, 46, returns as Julie James.
