Speaking with “People” the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” alum recalled the effect Robin’s death had on her.
” I’ve been working my entire life. When I had kids — and it was right after Robin passed away — there was just so much going on in my life and I just said, ‘I need to take a break.'”
Sarah has two children with actor husband Freddie Prinze Jr. — Charlotte Grace, 12, and Rocky James, 9.
“I need to be here for these early formative years of my kids’ life,” she explained. “I needed that break to be the parent that I wanted to be.”
