Mariska Hargitay, known for her role in Law & Order: SVU, and her husband, Younger alum Peter Hermann, recently shared a Valentine's Day moment at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. The couple, married since 2004, have built a family together, raising son August, and adopted children Amaya Josephine and Andrew Nicholas. Hargitay posted a selfie with Hermann from the Olympic venue, capturing a sweet embrace. The photo garnered significant fan admiration in the comments section, with many praising them as a 'beautiful couple.'
Their love story began in 2001 on the set of Law & Order: SVU, where Peter Hermann guest-starred as Trevor Langan. Their first date, at Mariska's suggestion, was at church. Recounting the experience to People, Hargitay described an overwhelming realization that Hermann was 'the one,' likening it to being struck by lightning. The couple officially married three years later in Santa Barbara, California. Recently, Hargitay also directed a documentary about her mother, Jayne Mansfield, with Hermann offering support throughout the project.
