Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s son is enjoying his first time behind the wheel in one of his dream cars.
On Friday, Nov. 6, Rocky, the 14-year-old son of the She’s All That alum, 50, and the Ready or Not 2: Here I Come star, 49, shared snaps on his Instagram of himself driving a Porsche. The teen noted in the caption that it was his first time driving the luxury car and quoted the creator of the vehicle, Ferdinand Porsche.
“‘In the beginning I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of. So I decided to build it myself.’ – Ferdinand Porsche,” Rocky captioned the photos. “My first time driving one.”
Gellar and Prinze Jr., who first met on the set of 1997’s cult-classic horror film, I Know What You Did Last Summer, before reconnecting romantically a few years later, also share daughter Charlotte Grace, whom they welcomed in 2009.
Back in August, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum’s son shared a photo on his Instagram of an old worksheet he had filled out. On the paper, the now-teenager had filled out that his name was Rocky and that his favorite color is red. On the line that says “I really like to,” Rocky had filled out “race cars.”
The paper was right next to a smiling photo of a much-younger version of Rocky. “Living my kindergarten dream ❤️,” Rocky, who has been competing in racing competitions, wrote in the caption.
Proud mom Gellar reshared the photo on her Instagram Stories and left the post blank.
Back in April, Gellar shared a look at her son Rocky’s life on Instagram, showing off his passion for racing. In the clip, set to the theme song from the Rocky movies, the proud mom showed her son driving around the track, saying that watching her son achieve his dreams makes her “truly ecstatic.”
“Showing our kids that they can achieve their dreams, is one the most important jobs as a parent,” she wrote. “Rocky’s dream is @f1 Watching him on the road (literally and figuratively) makes me truly ecstatic.”
The Scooby-Doo star previously told PEOPLE that her son Rocky is interested in being an F1 driver when he’s older, but she’s not sure how to instill that discipline as he can’t drive yet. For now, she shared he’s already setting records at their local go-kart racing arena.
“How do we foster that for him? I don’t know a lot about F1 and racing, so it’s like finding those contacts,” she said. “And luckily, I worked with someone who’s quite a prominent racer — Patrick Dempsey.”s

This past March, Gellar spoke with PEOPLE for an interview and shared that she and her husband Prinze Jr. have been abiding by one simple rule when it comes to parenting their teenagers.
“Discipline and accountability are very important to both me and my husband,” Gellar said of herself and Prinze Jr. “It’s been our secret weapon.”
“We’re known for being on time, knowing our stuff, not being crazy to work with. And so I think that discipline’s important in life and accountability for the mistakes or missteps and all of that,” she continued. “In terms of myself as a parent…we both grew up very differently than our kids are growing up. We both grew up with single parents, not knowing where the next paycheck was going to come from.”
Gellar admitted that she’s sometimes guilty of thinking about a “different time” or a “different life.”
“I just want my kids to be disciplined at whatever it is they do,” she explained. “My daughter was a dancer and I was a dance mom sitting at those competitions. And when she decided it wasn’t for her, I told her, ‘Okay, but you have to finish. You have to see that out. That’s important.’
