Sarah Michelle Gellar sizzles in swimsuit during tropical getaway
The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" icon dropped a sizzling series of swimsuit photos that had her 4.8 million followers doing a double-take.
"Tropic like it's hot," Gellar wrote in her Instagram caption with a fire emoji. "I'm Sarah and I am an aquaholic."
The 48-year-old actress made waves on social media as she flaunted her beach body and fit physique on a tropical getaway.
From crystal-blue waters to soaking up the sun, Gellar showed off her holiday in paradise.
In her first photo, the "Dexter: Original Sin" star posed poolside in a sleek black one-piece and rocked black sunglasses while her toned legs were on display.
She was seen on a catamaran in a floral sundress in her next photo, and also posted a video of her jumping off a boat into the ocean.
She continued to keep cool in the glistening waters and took a selfie poolside.
The actress appeared to be in complete bliss on her sun-soaked vacation as the last photo in her carousel showed her posing with her hands up and her back towards the camera.
Gellar's fans flooded her comments section to praise her post.
"Buffy level puns in the caption," one comment read.
Another fan referred to her famous role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," writing, "Rewatching Buffy for the millionth time right now. Buffy deserves this vacation."
"You're hotter than tropic. Sunshine Queen," an Instagram user wrote.
Gellar is married to fellow actor Freddie Prinze Jr. The couple first met when filming the movie "I Know What You Did Last Summer" in 1997, but they didn't start dating until three years later, in 2000.
After just two years of dating, the couple tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in Mexico in 2002, later welcoming two children -- Charlotte and Rocky.

Hulk Hogan's daughter explains her personal reason for not attending her father's funeral
Brooke Hogan Oleksy may not have honored her father Hulk Hogan in the most traditional of ways, but she wants her followers and his fans to know how she did remember the legendary wrestler. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one,' she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post shared Tuesday in reference to the elder Hogan, who died last month at the age of 71. 'And although I know people grieve in many ways - and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him.' That way, she explained, turned out to be 'in the simplest way that agreed with my soul.' 'We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved,' Hogan Oleksy wrote. The post included a series of photos showing her, her husband Steven Oleksy and their infant twins enjoying a day at the beach. She wrote in the caption that 'the only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves…' The younger Hogan appeared with her father, brother Nick and mother Linda on the VH1 reality series 'Hogan Knows Best' which ran from 2005 to 2007. Hogan Oleksy has been out of the spotlight for years and privately married Steven Oleksy, a former professional hockey player, in 2022. The couple welcomed fraternal twins, Oliver and Molly, in January 2025. The daughter of the wrestling great reportedly became estranged from her parents over the years and in March 2025 her mother Linda, whose divorce from Hulk Hogan was finalized in 2009, posted a since-deleted video saying her daughter no longer spoke to her or her ex-husband. In responding to her mother's claims, Hogan Oleksy wrote in a statement posted on social media at the time that she ordinarily tries to avoid speaking publicly, 'But I have my own family now and it's affecting more than just me at this point.' 'No contact with my Mom has nothing to do with my Dad, and no contact with my Father has nothing to do with my Mother,' she wrote. 'This also pertains to to my Dad's second and third, now current wife. This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me directly my entire life.' Following her father's death, Hogan Oleksy also shared a statement revealing that despite controversy and public misconceptions, the bond with her father 'has never broken, not even in his final moments.'

Hulk Hogan's Daughter Skips His Funeral And Defends Her Decision
Brooke Hogan is choosing to honor her late father, Hulk Hogan, in her own way! The wrestling icon's estranged daughter was absent at the funeral service for her late father because she believed he would have wanted things to play out differently if he were alive. Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan fell out a few years ago, and she even asked to be excluded from his will following his death, citing a lack of trust for the people around him as her reason. Brooke Hogan Celebrated Hulk Hogan's Life By The Beach In a lengthy social media post, the mother of two justified her decision to step away from the pomp and pageantry of her father's funeral. She noted that the late wrestler "hated the morbidity of funerals," and she was sure he did not want one. However, Brooke was beyond grateful that several events and celebrations were organized to honor the life of the wrestling legend. She added that she chose to honor him privately and in a genuine way, which he would have appreciated. Brooke informed the fans that she chose to spend the day with her children by the beach, placing them in the salty water as Hulk would have loved to do. She added that the private activity only missed Hulk's pop-up lawn chair, where he would have sat, watching the sun set and the waves crash. "Every grain of sand and every wave reminded me of being your beach baby, and brought us closer to you. I pray you are at peace and know how dearly I love you. Rest in heaven, Daddy," Brooke concluded as she showed off her day out by the beach in several pictures of her, flanked by her husband and adorable twins. The 37-Year-Old Reflected On Her Last Phone Call With Hulk The estranged father and daughter's last conversation was a heartbreaking phone call before his marriage to Sky Daily. The Blast shared that Hulk's relationship with Sky had always been a bad idea from her perspective, but her fears deepened when she discovered they were going to get married. She recalled Hulk complaining about the pressure to walk down the aisle from Sky, and she reassured him not to do anything he didn't want to do. The wrestler even reportedly confided in her daughter about his plan to exit the relationship if he could to prevent getting married to Sky. They also had a conversation about Sky's ties to the Church of Scientology, and Hulk explained that his now-wife did not want to leave the church due to her parents' status in the religion. The phone call ended with Hulk apologizing for whatever he had done, without providing specifics, even after Brooke asked for clarification. Brooke explained that she hung up the call, knowing fully well that her dad would marry Sky and they might never speak again. Brooke Asked To Be Excluded From Her Dad's Will The media personality's concern for her safety with Sky's connection to Scientology resurfaced again after Hulk's death. She revealed that for her safety and security, she asked to be removed from her father's will. Brooke established that she had no interest in fighting her estranged mother for money and properties, nor was she looking forward to losing any of her loved ones. "I would have made him an Elvis legacy, or a Marilyn Monroe legacy, or a Selena legacy, and I hope that whoever has his marks does that," the mother-of-two clarified about a part of him she would have loved to carry on with her. The former TV star reiterated that everyone around her father chased after their pockets and refused to be completely honest with him, which may have led to his quick death. "Everybody's there for a paycheck, everybody is there egging him on because you guys are getting paid… and I said, 'It's killing him,'" she concluded. Hulk's Daughter Earmarked Benefits From Insurance Trust For Her Kids Luckily for Brooke, she remains a beneficiary of a life insurance trust created by the wrestler and is set to receive a certain amount of money. As reported by The Blast, Brooke is beyond grateful for that money and plans to use it for her kids' college education. The singer shares twins, a boy and a girl, with her former NHL hockey league player, Steve Olesky, earlier in the year. Unfortunately, Hulk does not have a relationship with his grandkids, nor did he meet them before he passed on. However, Brooke established in her moving tribute to the wrestler that their bond was beyond human understanding, and while things seemed displaced between them, the love never left. She confessed that his death took a part of her with him, and she will never forget what his scent smelled like or reveal secrets of their private conversations. Inside Brooke Hogan's Touching Post On Hulk Hogan's Death The former TV star noted that beyond the big, tall guy in the wrestling ring, Hulk and she shared a sacred bond that transcended several lifetimes. "He used to remind me, 'All of this is temporary and I'll always find my way back to you.' I truly believe that — we will find each other in every lifetime," Brooke added. She explained that Hulk's death was a victory, not a defeat, as many people saw it. Brooke emphasized her relief that Hulk is resting in peace and free from the pain he experienced throughout his life. "His hugs were my home. Wrapping my arms around him always made me feel like his little girl, even as I grew up," she continued, reminiscing about her childhood with the iconic athlete. Brooke reassured thousands of fans that she is certain her father's love resides around and within her, through her kids who remain the "greatest gift a father could ever give — A love that goes on… long after we're gone." Rest in peace, Hulk Hogan!
