Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz gave \u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u201d fans a memorable reunion at the 2026 Emmys, but one photographer\u2019s request quickly changed the mood on the red carpet. The former co-stars, who famously played Buffy and Angel, were posing together when a photographer called out, \u201cHow about a kiss one time?\u201d Gellar immediately responded with a light but clear reminder that the two are married to other people. \u201cI don\u2019t think his wife will appreciate that!\u201d she said, making it clear that their famous on-screen romance belonged to the television series. Rather than follow the request, Gellar and Boreanaz simply continued posing together and were later seen holding hands for the cameras. The moment quickly drew attention online, with many fans praising Gellar for handling the situation with humor while still setting a respectful boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reunion carried even more meaning when the pair later appeared onstage at the ceremony and joked about their years on \u201cBuffy,\u201d which will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year. Boreanaz joked that he always believed Buffy and Angel would eventually end up together, while Gellar playfully replied that fans would never find out. Beneath the humor, however, was a more emotional tribute to members of the \u201cBuffy\u201d family who have passed away in recent years. Gellar and Boreanaz acknowledged the difficult period for the cast and crew and expressed gratitude for having worked alongside so many talented people. Away from the cameras, Gellar has been married to Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002, while Boreanaz has been married to Jaime Bergman since 2001. Their Emmy reunion ultimately reminded fans that while Buffy and Angel may remain an iconic television pairing, the real people behind those characters have lives, families, and boundaries of their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
