“Happy Milestone Bday @realfreddieprinze,” the actress wrote in the caption accompanying the images.

She added, “Age is simply the number of years the world has gotten to enjoy you. And no one has enjoyed you more than me.”

Several friends from the entertainment industry responded to the post with birthday messages for Prinze, including Lisa Rinna, Amanda Kloots and Heather Dubrow.

Gellar and Prinze first met while working on the 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Although they became friends at the time, their relationship developed several years later.

The pair became engaged in April 2001 and married in September 2002 during a ceremony in Mexico attended by a number of celebrity guests, including Shannen Doherty and Wilmer Valderrama.

Since then, they have collaborated on several projects, including the films Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, as well as the animated feature Happily N'Ever After released in 2006.

The couple later expanded their family with the arrival of their daughter Charlotte Grace in 2009 and their son Rocky James in 2012.
