And on Monday, they appeared to be more in love than ever as they walked the red carpet for the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, which Freddie stars in.
Needless to say, hopeless romantics everywhere were obsessed to see the couple still standing strong almost 30 years after the first movie brought them together.
But as fans fawned over their love story on a pop culture Reddit forum, it didn’t take long for Freddie’s 2001 interview with Howard Stern to come up. Suffice to say, it has not aged well.
“So, you will marry [Sarah] even though you know that it won’t last?” Howard began, going on to tell then-25-year-old Freddie: “You think you gonna know how you feel at 35? You’re going to be a completely different dude.”
“And you will probably talk to each other through lawyers!” Howard’s cohost Robin Quivers added. Howard later told Freddie: “I want to make a written bet with you now: In about 10 years, you’re gonna hunt me down and go: ‘Howard, I owe you money.’”
Both Freddie and Sarah have acknowledged Howard’s bet over the years. In a 2016 interview with Build, Freddie said: “He bet me a million dollars that we would break up in under five years… You have not paid that bet, young man!”
And on their 20th wedding anniversary, Sarah posted the interview to her Instagram story, and wrote: “@SternShow I think you owe us.” Freddie reposted this at the time, joking: “She will not forget.”
So, it’s pretty unsurprising that it has resurfaced again amid Sarah and Freddie’s latest loved-up display, with a popular Reddit comment reading: “they are a living embodiment of howard stern being wrong about everything so i have no choice but to be a fan.”
