Rocky Prinze, the 14-year-old son of actors Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, posted photos of himself with a gray Porsche coupe on Instagram on November 6, 2026, saying it was his first time driving one.
He has spent the past year deep in racing. The Porsche pictures mark a step up from the go-karts he has been competing in.
The post
The photos appeared in a joint post with his father. Rocky sat at the wheel, stood next to the car and posed on top of it.
He captioned the carousel, "My first time driving one." He also shared a quote from auto founder 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."
A dream that started early
Prinze Jr. first posted about his son's ambitions in March. He shared a video of Rocky speeding around a track and wrote, "Day 1. My son Rocky putting in that work on his dream."
The interest goes back much further. In August, Rocky shared a kindergarten worksheet in which he had written that he likes to "race cars." His caption read, "Living my kindergarten dream."
Gellar followed in April with a video of her son racing go-karts, set to music from the Rocky films. She said watching his progress made her "truly ecstatic." In October, she posted a family photo captioned "race weekend with my boys."
Parents looking for contacts
Gellar has said Rocky wants to become a Formula 1 driver. In a March interview, she said he was already setting records at their local go-kart arena.
She also admitted the family needed guidance. "I don't know a lot about F1 and racing," she said, explaining that she was trying to find the right contacts.
She pointed to former costar Patrick Dempsey, whom she described as "quite a prominent racer."
Gellar has also invited fans to follow along. Posting a photo of Rocky on a go-kart, she wrote, "We know you've heard us talk about Rocky racing… but now you can follow his competition journey."
The couple also have a 17-year-old daughter, Charlotte. Gellar has described discipline and accountability as priorities for both children, and said she expects them to follow through on whatever interests they choose.
