American actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, known for her role as Buffy Summers in the cult series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," posted a series of family photos on Instagram on October 26 taken at a go-kart track. The star shared moments from her weekend spent with her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. and their 14-year-old son Rocky, captioning the post simply: "Weekend at the race with my boys." In the photos, the teenager poses in a racing suit and is also captured during preparations for the race. The actress additionally posted joint selfies with her spouse, capturing a family getaway filled with support and a shared hobby.
Resemblance to father became more noticeable after haircut
Subscribers paid special attention to Rocky's new haircut: the teenager swapped his long wavy hair for a very short crop. It was after this change that his striking resemblance to Freddie Prinze Jr. became, according to social media users, virtually undeniable. In the comments under the publication, Rocky was dubbed "little Freddie," and some followers jokingly suggested the name "Freddie Prinze Jr. Jr." For fans of the couple who have been following the Gellar-Prinze family for over two decades, such details become an opportunity to note how children inherit their parents' features.
The road to Formula 1: from kindergarten questionnaire to go-kart tracks
According to his mother, Rocky's passion for racing began in early childhood. In late August 2026, the teenager posted an old kindergarten questionnaire on social media where he listed car racing among his favorite activities. Sarah Michelle Gellar previously shared that her son dreams of becoming a Formula 1 driver. While this ambitious goal lies ahead, Rocky trains and participates in go-kart competitions, with his parents actively supporting his hobby by accompanying him to the track and tracking his progress. The family weekend at the go-kart track captured in the recent photos is a continuation of this tradition of spending time together.
