The Sweetest Photos of Mariska Hargitay, Peter Hermann and Their Adorable Family

Let’s talk about Mariska Hargitay, famous for her role as Detective Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Did you know she met her husband, Peter Hermann, on the show? It happened back in season 3, when he guest-starred as defense attorney Trevor Langan.

After filming wrapped up, Hermann asked Hargitay to join him at church. The rest is history – they started dating, got hitched in 2004, and now have three beautiful children – August, Amaya, and Andrew.

Their family pictures are just heartwarming.

Imagine them at Disney World, with Amaya hugging her dad and brother August. Or the Halloween where they all dressed up as characters from The Wizard of Oz, and little Andrew rocked The Cowardly Lion costume. 

They even did a Greek gods theme with Mariska and Peter as Zeus and Hera! And let’s not forget the Disney Descendants theme or the picture where they’re all wrapped in a group hug – too cute.

The Hermann family is all about fun and love. Whether they’re celebrating Mom’s achievements, cheering for the New York Knicks, or attending charity events, they do it all together. Kids are growing up fast, but the bond this family shares is stronger than ever. Cheers to love that started on TV and blossomed into a beautiful real-life story.
