Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. took a break from the kids for a romantic date night.

The cute Hollywood couple grabbed dinner at Bagutta restaurant in Los Angeles Wednesday night and enjoyed a little one-on-one time (minus the paparazzi, of course).

Gellar looked stylish in fitted jeans, a navy blazer, a sparkly top and patent-leather boots, and her clutch came in handy as a makeshift shield from the cameras. Her hubby of 11 years chose to keep it casual in a gray pullover and brown pants as he led his real-life leading lady to the car.

The doting parents are rarely snapped together in public and were probably eager to get back to their adorable little ones, daughter Charlotte and son Rockywho looks exactly like his famous dad

Last November, Gellar revealed to More magazine that she sometimes struggles to find the balance between work and motherhood. "If I have extra time, I want to be with my kids," she revealed. "I still have that mom guilt. I haven't had a facial since my first child was born."

Luckily, she gets lots of help and support from her partner of over a decade. When asked how she makes her marriage work, she replied, "A separate life. I always say I'm Sarah Michelle Gellar when I work and Sarah Prinze in the other life. I don't know if there is a secret—if I had a secret, I'd write a book and retire. But we talk. We check in."

Sounds like the perfect recipe for long-term success!
