The author studies some properties of the zeros of the Sobolev orthogonal polynomials with respect to the Freud Sobolev inner product defined in the space of polynomials \(\mathbb{P}\) by \[ \langle p,q \rangle= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} p(x)q(x) e^{-x^4}dx + \lambda \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} p'(x)q'(x) e^{-x^4}dx \] for \(p, q \in \mathbb{P}\) and \(\lambda \geq 0\). \noindent It is proved that their zeros are real and simple. For \(n \geq 3\), it is also proved that their positive zeros interlace with the zeros of the Freud polynomials, that is, those polynomials orthogonal with respect to the above inner product taking \(\lambda=0.\)
