Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair’s 50th Birthday in June 2022, shared a throwback photo taken during Selma’s 21st birthday celebration. “If I told that little girl on the right, that the girl to her left was going to be her lifelong friend … she would say ‘I know,'” Gellar wrote on Instagram. “From the day I met you I knew you were special and would be by my side for ever.”Blair echoed the sentiment in the comments section. Writing, “You have loved me more than any friend here.”
After Blair’s 2018 diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, Gellar showed just how much she loved her best friend. Blair told Variety that Gellar and a few other celeb pals started taking care of her — whether she liked it or not. “I hated having caregivers in my house. … But my God, did they help me,”She said it. Gellar ensured that Blair was treated more as a friend than a nurse and kept Blair company when she needed it. “If she was having a bad day I would come over and crawl into bed with her, and we would lie there for hours and watch HGTV,”She told Town & Countryin 2021. Gellar might have a tendency spoil her friend. Blair received a gift from Gellar on her 20th birthday. A stunning gold ring.
