Sarah Michelle Gellar Posts Extremely Rare Pic of Her Son & He Looks So Much Like His Dad

Sarah Michelle Gellar had plenty to celebrate this past week.

In case you missed it, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, 47, marked her son Rocky's 12th birthday by sharing a sweet tribute to the tween on Instagram, including a rare childhood pic. And guys, I'm still not over the uncanny resemblance between Rocky and his dad, Freddie Prinze Jr. Gellar captioned the post, "Raise your hand if it’s your birthday!!! 12 years ago, Charlotte told us all she wanted for her third bday was you. And even though you weren’t due for another three weeks, she got her wish…and we all got the greatest gift. You. Happy birthday Rocky!!!!" 

In the close-up, Prinze Jr.'s mini-me is all smiles and donning a black-and-white Darth Vader shirt while playing with one of his pals. One fan commented, "Awww, he looks so much like Freddie!" Another added, "Happy birthday Rocky! Your parents are the coolest."

In the video, Charlotte is outdoors as she does multiple backflips that would make Simone Biles proud. Fans took to the comments to share their well wishes, and some even compared Charlotte to Gellar's iconic character, Buffy—thanks to her gravity-defying fight sequences on the show. One follower joked, "Y'all that's Buffy Jr., Charlotte Summers." Another added, "Like mother like daughter! We've got a new chosen one on our hands!"

While Gellar typically avoids sharing pics of her children on social media, she makes rare exceptions for birthdays and other special occasions. For instance, in 2019, while celebrating her son's 7th birthday, she posted mother-son pics from when Rocky was still an infant. She wrote, "And just when I thought it wasn’t possible to love another human the way I loved my daughter, seven years ago today, my son was born, and I learned that was not the case. Rocky on the day you were born, I swear my heart tripled in size. Your laugh is the only medicine I will ever need, and your excitement for life is my motivation. Happy 7th bday RockStar."
