 Claire Greenway/Getty |
September is shaping up to be an exciting month for Freddie and Sarah Michelle Prinze! The first of the month marked the couple’s seventh wedding anniversary and now they are celebrating yet another milestone: the birth of their first child.
Daughter Charlotte Grace Prinze was born on Saturday, September 19th, a rep for the couple confirms exclusively to PEOPLE. “The family is over the moon,” according to a statement released by the pair.
Sarah Michelle, 32, and Freddie, 33, revealed the pregnancy news in April, and in the months following, the mama-to-be was spotted showing off her growing belly all over town. Next up for Freddie is his role on 24, which premieres in January.
Take a look back at Sarah Michelle’s pregnancy in our new gallery!

And I just realized that all the Buffyverse actors had girls this year.

David had Bardot three weeks ago.
And now Charlotte joins the mix!

MichelleinFL, Sarah changed her name from Gellar to Prinze as a 5th wedding anniversary present to Freddie. But, it’s still her professional name.
Love the name. It’s very classic and beautiful.

September 22nd, 2009 at 8:06 pm
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I ♥ the name Charlotte Grace!!! BEAUTIFUL!! Can’t wait to see what she looks like. YEA!!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:06 pm
I love the name – very classy and feminine! Cool birthday too 9/19/09!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Awesome awesome name! I expected a great name from them and I was not let down
Charlotte is one of my all time favorite baby girl’s names!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I have a 4 year old Charlotte and a 2 year old with the middle name Grace – so I might be biased but…beautiful name
Congrats to the new parents!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Oh my goodness!!! Charlotte is my name and my mom’s name is Grace!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:17 pm
I have a 4 month old girl that we almost named Charlotte Grace but we ended up with Charlotte Amelia instead.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
i LOVE the name, very feminine and classy. And I agree, i’m glad she’s not named after a fruit, lol.
With parents like that, she must be GORGEOUS
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Love the name! Nice and simple!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I love that name!! What a pretty and traditional name for Hollywood in today’s unique names world! Congrats to Freddie and Sarah Michelle on baby Charlotte Grace Prinze!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Hometown Albuquerque boy did good. I must say I was a bit worried what they would name their baby. THANK GOD she has a beautiful name. Cant wait to see her.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:32 pm
A nice normal name! Think it flows well, I prefer Charli in a way on a girl to Charlotte, but it sounds pretty together and at least it’s a normal, not-cruel name, lol. Congrats to the new parents!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:34 pm
My jaw is on the floor, I can’t believe a celebrity couple used such a simple, classic name. Gorgeous! I’m so happy for SMG. I hope Charlotte doesn’t get teased at school by Satyana, Bardot, Zuma, Bronx et al for having such a ‘weird’ name.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I’m thrilled for them! Just knew they would choose a traditional, classy name (Charlotte Grace sounds like she could have been one of the Bronte sisters). They have always seemed like an old-fashioned couple in interviews, and I think they will be terrific parents!
Back in 2002 or abouts, when they first got married, I remember talking with other fans about when the first baby ‘Prellar’ would arrive
Well, she’s finally here! Congratulations to the happy couple and their daughter, who I’m sure is adorable.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Oh thank god! A nice, classic, beautiful name for a celebrity baby for once! What a fresh choice!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Great news, I was just thinking yesterday that she must be due soon.And great to hear Freddie has a part in 24,I wondered where he’d been. I don’t know why,but I had a feeling they would give their child a “normal” name. Congrats to all!!!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:49 pm
What a lovely name. Congratulations to Sarah and Freddie!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Awwwww congrats to them! I love the name!!! Charlotte isn’t on my list to use for girls but I think it’s a gorgeous name and I adore the name Grace especially as a middle name.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
she has my name
I’m so glad they chose such a simple, classic name. Yes, I’m baised and no I don’t care! LOL. It’s not a common name these days, but its not ‘weird’ or hard to pronounce. Some people have trouble spelling it — but I just tell them “like the spider in the book!” My grandpa used to call me Charl as a nickname. Most people use Char but I HATE it! Would much rather they use Charlotte. Congrats to SMG & Freddie. Can’t wait to see little Charlotte Grace!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Awesome – that’s my daughter’s name!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:02 pm
What a beautiful name! Charlotte goes really well with Prinze. I’m so happy for them!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Beautiful and classy name! Hope we get to see a picture at some point. (They seem like a low-key couple so I won’t be surprised if they choose not to release one.)
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Charlotte, did you ever get ‘Lottie’ as a nickname? I think that’s adorable. ‘Charlotte’ has been in the top five most popular names in Australia for awhile, and I like the name a lot.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
LOL @Blondiebear! It’s funny to think of how it might be an unusual thing these days for a kid to actually have a normal name!
I LOVE the name Charlotte Grace! Congrats to Sarah and Freddie, they must be bursting with love and happiness right about now. Now here’s hoping they don’t keep her under wraps for the next several months…
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Damn, I was hoping for Peacock Mango Twilight.
Heh heh, no Charlotte Grace is lovely and timeless. I’m happy for the Prinzes and hope they have a great time with their new daughter.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Oh, I love, love, love this name! I had hoped they wouldn’t use a far-out name and they didn’t! It’s such a pretty, feminine, classic name! And it’s fast becoming one of my favorites!
Congrats to Freddie and Sarah!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:15 pm
My husband and I were also married for 7 years before I had my first child at age 32. And of course, another coincedence…my name is also Sarah!!
Congrats to the family!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:17 pm
What a lovely name!!! I had a feeling they were going to have a girl. Congratulations to the family!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 pm
I was (and still am) a huge fan of Freddie Prinze SR – so I wish he were here to experience the birth of his first grandchild. What a nice beautiful classic name they chose. Freddie Jr and Michelle seem to be low key – so I am sure their daughter will be bought up as close to normal as possible by a celebrity couple. Congrats!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 pm
pretty name. I actually know two charlotte graces tho.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 pm
and sept 19th is my moms birthday!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:24 pm
I LOVE that name
My husband and I are considering naming our daughter-on-the-way Charlotte. It’s my favorite name 
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:34 pm
I am so happy for them! Congratulations on your baby’s birth! What a most beautiful name for a little baby girl! Awesome. Enjoy her immensely because those baby years sure do go fast, just ask any Mom and Dad that one! Fantastic news! I was hoping so much and thinking that they were going to have a little girl!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
WTH a normal name??? No fruit, bird, nuts, or planet names??? lol
Seriously, congratulations to them on the birth of their baby girl! What a lovely name.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:41 pm
I absolutely love their name choice! Congrats to them! I can’t wait to see a photo of the cutie!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:41 pm
One of my best friend’s has a little girl named Charlotte Grace but they call her Charlie. Congrats to Freddie && Sarah Michelle!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:44 pm

September 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Aww, congrats to them! What a happy announcement!

Yay! I am so happy for them.
The name is beautiful and I would have expected nothing less from such a classy celeb couple!
September 22nd, 2009 at 10:52 pm

September 22nd, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Congrats to Sarah Michelle and Freddie!

September 22nd, 2009 at 10:55 pm
love, love, love the name!!!! bet she’s a beauty.
September 22nd, 2009 at 10:57 pm
So, so glad they named her a normal name! Yay!!! Congrats to the new parents!
September 22nd, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Awww, I actually teared up a bit when I saw the announcement of the birth of their daughter.
Charlotte Grace is a beautiful name
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:09 pm
So the rumors about them having a girl were true!
Love the name, and can’t wait to see her! 
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Charlotte Grace Prinze. Lovely.
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:12 pm
I had almost forgotten about her. Oops! But SOOOOO happy to hear they had a little girl! I love the name too!

Congratulations to them! I absolutely love the name Charlotte Grace. Very classy.
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Congratulations to Freddie and Sarah. I am so glad they picked “normal” names for their daughter, which I actually like. Nice combonation, I wouldn’t have thought to put together.
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 pm
I just love the name… feminine, classic, yet not too common… Charlie is a great nickname for when she’s a kid… yet Charlotte is a name she’ll grow into… and Grace… I love for a middle name… it’s my daughter’s middle name.
GREAT choice on the name, Freddie and Sarah Michelle!
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Congratulations!!! What a beautiful name!! I completely agree with the others – classic and pretty, but still not a totally common name these days! A wonderful choice. It’s funny how excited we are all getting about a ‘normal’ name… do these celebrities realize what they are doing to us?! lol
Again congrats to the new parents!
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
i have a charlotte

September 23rd, 2009 at 12:35 am
Okay forget about the name for one second…they are 33 and 32? I still remember having their posters on my wall! Time flies!
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:42 am
Congratulations to them! I really like the name. Classy.
It seems like there’s a Buffy Babyboom going on.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:46 am
Congratulations to both Freddie and Sarah on the birth of Charlotte.
Finally…someone has given their child a normal name.
September 23rd, 2009 at 1:11 am
Wow, I think for the first time ever, no one complained about a name choice here. If that doesn’t say much about.
Congrats on a, most likely gorgeous child and…name choice.
September 23rd, 2009 at 1:13 am
awwwwwwww yaya! CONGRATS
I love the name, very classic.
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:23 am
I was not expecting Charlotte but what an awesome name to have…unlike some of the more colorful names we’ve seen on here.
Congrats to my favorite couple!
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:29 am
Congratulations! Love the name too – feminine, normal and lovely!
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:31 am
Congratulations! I am sure she’s one beautiful baby and I love the name – thankfully they bucked the Celebrity trend and chose a normal name.

September 23rd, 2009 at 3:14 am

September 23rd, 2009 at 5:03 am

Congratulations to Freddie & Michelle!!! What a beautiful name!!!
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:31 am
Awww! Congrats to them! Love the name!
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:57 am
So glad its not “Tangerine Dream” or some LAME, made-up sounding name that celebrities always come up with. Charlotte is a great name for a girl. Congratulations, Sarah and Freddie!
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:00 am
Beautiful name, beautiful family! Congrats!
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:06 am
I agree with everyone else: so refreshing to have a ‘normal’ name! It’s beautiful, as I’m sure she is
Also, did anyone else think she still had at least another month to go??? She carried pretty small, huh? I wonder if the baby was born early? Nonetheless, everyone sounds happy and healthy!!!
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:07 am
Congrats!
I am so happy for them. They have been my favorite celebrity couple for years.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:12 am
Awww! Congratulations and lovely name.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 am
A bunch already said this, but that is simply a lovely name.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:22 am
Aww I love the name, great choice and Congrats to Sarah and Freddie
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:41 am
Great name!!
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:52 am
I so forgot she was having a baby! That seemed so fast!! And Charlotte Grace is a BEAUTIFUL name! Congrats to them!!! I bet she’s beautiful.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:52 am
Lovely name, like the fact they chose a ‘normal’ name.
Grace is one of my favourites!
On another note; has Sarah finally chosen to use Prinze as her stagename as well? I know, she changed it from Gellar to Prinze two years ago, but since they announce it; ‘Freddie and Sarah Michelle Prinze!’ I was just wondering if she uses it both in her private life and as her stagename?
—-
Not sure, but her rep asked that Prinze be used in the announcement.

Love the name! So glad they didn’t go with a trendy variant like Charli(e) or Lotti. They look so cheap as official names and not nicknames. Charlotte Grace is such a beautiful choice! Congrats Sarah and Freddie.

OMG! I cannot believe what I am hearing, a celebrity couple that actually named their offspring a normal name. Congrats to both of them, they are a great couple.

I SOOOOOOO predicted a girl! I adore the name, its actually what I’d like to name a girl if I ever have one. [now my mom will forever think i copied buffy! haha]
I can’t WAIT to see a family pic, I think she’ll be Sarah’s double. <3

Just love these two – such exciting news! Agree, a really timeless, beautiful name
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:03 am
Very exciting! I thought it was going to be a boy, but I bet that little girl is adorable, beautiful name.
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:07 am

September 23rd, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I am a huge Buffy fan and now Baby Charlotte was born on my Birthday. Plus I love the name, it has a nice “flow” to it. Congrats Freddie and Sarah!…….Now Sarah and Alyson Hannigan can have “Buffy” baby playdates, lol.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Yay! I am such a big fan of SMG and have been waiting around for this announcement. I had a feeling it was a girl
And the name is beautiful and classic, just as I suspected. Congrats to the new parents!
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Wow I didn’t expect this so soon… many congrats to the happy family! I still remember their wedding pictures… 7 years?? Time flies!
Welcome, Charlotte Grace!!! You have a beautiful name!
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Congrats! I love SMG! I love the name Charlotte Grace, it’s a nice normal name
September 23rd, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Beautiful name for what I’m sure is a beautiful girl.
September 23rd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Wonderful news! Congrats to all of them!
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:44 pm
can anyone tell me whether allyson hannigan and SMG remained friends?
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Congratulations to Freddie and Michelle!!!!!! I am sure that this little girl will be as beautiful as her name!
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Lovely name from a lovely couple. Congrats!
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:13 pm
ugh, I am 6 months pregnant and this was going to be my baby’s name! darn it! now everyone is gonna think I copied them!
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
This news is perhaps too exciting for me! I’ve always adored this couple, they’ve been going strong for nearly 10 years now after being so young in the beginning. They’re an inspiration to me in my relationship
p. I’m sure Charlotte is just as adorable as her parents are.
Congratulations Sarah and Freddie.
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Awwwwwwww congratulations! Beautiful name. =]
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Congrats!
One of my favorite names of all time!
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Pinayhekmi- no, they did not remain friends, unfortunately. Anyway, I love the name. I wonder if Charlotte came from Charlotte’s Web, since Sarah collects children’s books. Looking forward to seeing if DB Woodside and Golden Brooks continue the Buffy baby girl streak!
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Ah… and I guess she didn’t remain frends with David Boreanaz either… since they dated during Buffy it’s unlikely they did. Too bad, the three of them had little girls at the same time!!
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:59 pm
My name is Charlotte Emma, so I’m very excited she’s named her daughter Charlotte. ☺
Growing up I didn’t like the name too much, but now I love it because it’s pretty and classical sounding. Plus, it’s not too common. Some friends and family call me Char, or Charlie, but for the most part they go by, and I refer to myself as Charlotte.
Anyway, congrats to the family. Can’t wait to see a pic of the new baby. I’m kinda doubting they’ll do an official shoot with her, they seem very private. Guess we’ll have to wait and see…
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Im so exited for the new couple on their new bundle of joy. I thought it was a girl. The name is so pretty.
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:27 pm
I’ve been waiting for this announcement! Beautiful, beatiful name!!! LOVE IT! Congratulations, Freddie and Sarah!
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:08 pm
YAY!!!!!! Congrats to the happy family! What a sweet name for their daughter too.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:59 pm
OMG!! I’ve been waiting for this moment forever. I loved Sarah in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ on tv lol. And I remember having a crush on Freddie. I can’t believe they named their baby Charlotte. I LOVE IT. Because my name is Charlotte Lynn. I would never of considered it for a baby of my own because it’s my name. I have a son named Malachi Ryder Latrell <3. Anywho congrats them on there beautiful bundle of joy!
<3
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Congrats to Sarah and Freddie! Like everyone else has said, I love that they chose a classy name for their daughter. I doubt they’ll release any photos of little Charlotte Grace since they appear to be such a low-key couple.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Yayz! I was a HUGE Buffy fan and ever since I’ve loved Sarah Michelle Gellar (or Prinze now!). I must say everytime I saw a pregnancy post on her I was thinking boy though. What a beautiful name, timeless, elegant and classic. Congrats to the parents, she’ll be a beauty.
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I was so excited to see this announcement!! Congratulations to Sarah and Freddie, I bet she is a stunner!! And Charlotte Grace is such a beautiful name!
September 24th, 2009 at 2:52 am
YAY!!! Congratulations!!! Oh and just for the record I was right!!! She had a girl …. and I love the name!
All of these celebrities having girls …… seems like all of them for the last week or so have been girls …. am I right or wrong”??
September 24th, 2009 at 7:38 am
Everyone keeps commenting on how “normal” the name is that they chose. WHat is “normal?”
“Normal” doesn’t exist. Other celebrities may get a lil overzealous and try to be different when naming their kids but who says their names aren’t “normal” in another part of the world.
Funny the things we make a big deal out of.
That aside, I am extremely happy for Sarah and Freddie, they have been a favourite celebrity couple of mine for a long time and even if they had named their baby “BBQ” they would still be. Congrats to them both
September 24th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Congrats to Freddie and Sarah!! I felt it was a girl and it is!! Charlotte Grace is beautiful name and I bet the baby will be just as beautiful!!!
September 24th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Congrats to Sarah Michelle and Freddie! I’m sure little Charlote is quite a beauty with a head full of jet black hair like her parents : ) (Srah Michelle’s natural color). And thank GOD for normal names all around: Charlotte,Sophie,Stella… Maybe the Hollywood baby name game is finally turning over a new leaf?
September 24th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Dee: I’m pretty sure that names like “Pilot Inspektor”, “Moxie Crimefighter”, and “Radiowave” aren’t usual on ANY parts of our planet!!
September 24th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Such a pretty name! Congrats to Freddie and Sarah on their baby girl.
September 25th, 2009 at 9:19 am
LOL@Patrice, girl these days you just never know. I mean I know some celebrity parents are so overzealous I think maybe they forget that these little people will have to grow up with the names they have and in tose moments I dont think they think the long term effect is a big issue.
We all know things change in school with other kids etc. But at the end of the day I think “normal” doesn’t exist when it comes to names….or anything else…especially in Lalahood, if you know what I mean.
September 25th, 2009 at 11:51 am
awwww i am SO happy for them, the name is beautiful.. and id exspect her to have used sarah michelle prinze for this as having a baby is personal not stage…
September 27th, 2009 at 1:48 am
Bancie1031- Almost! Julie Chen just welcomed a little boy!
September 27th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Yay! Congrats! I’ve been waiting forever for them to have a baby, lol. Love the name. Maybe Charlotte, Satyana and Bardot can hang out one day.
September 28th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Thank goodness, a proper name…kudos to Sarah and Freddie for their choice…delightful.
September 28th, 2009 at 8:12 am
CelebBabyLover – LOL I noticed that …. but in all fairness she had her baby after I made the statement hahahaha ….. Julie’s little guy evens out the balance of things
September 28th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I knew she would have a girl
Had expected a more unique name, but it is kind of cute 
Can’t wait to see a picture! Maybe one of Satyana Denisof, Bardot Vita Boreanaz and Charlotte Grace Prinze?
