She refuses to acknowledge any relationship with Arthur, who died in 2001 of unknown causes.

During the run of Buffy she also appeared in a few movies including "Cruel Intentions", "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Scream 2".
After "Buffy" finished in 2002, Sarah went on to play Daphne in the live action movie versions of "Scooby-Doo". She married Freddie Prinze Jr in 2002 and played alongside him in both Scooby-Doo movies.
