Gellar and Prinze first met on the set of their 1997 slasher film — but it wasn’t love at first sight. While talking to PEOPLE in 2001, She is all that the actor admitted that he and Gellar “really didn’t like each other” at first.

After establishing a strictly platonic relationship, their relationship grew into something more. “We were friends for a good two years before we went on a date. She knew what kind of guy I was,” Prinze Jr. previously told E! News. “She knew what my morals were, what my priorities were and vice versa.”

“We already knew all the flaws of the other person,” he added.

And their first date together was actually an accident, Gellar revealed to PEOPLE Now in 2020. “We’ve been friends for a really long time. We had a lot of dinners before. And we were supposed to go with someone else, and the third person we didn’t get away with and we decided to go anyway “, the star recalled.

“We were just two people at dinner and made up for what we had missed,” she added. “We had a long car ride and a long dinner and things just happened.”

And after their first date, Prinze said he knew Gellar was the one. “I didn’t go on dates with other girls,” he explained, “nor did I want to date other girls at all.”
