Unlike most acting couples, Hargitay and Hermann have been married for 15 years, and they originally met on the set of Law & Order way back in 2001.

Missing from the Yale University alum and the UCLA drop-out’s side were their three children – son August, 13; son Andrew, 8; and daughter Amaya, 8.

Last Thursday, NBC renewed the longest-running US prime-time drama in history for an additional three seasons.

Mariska executive produces and stars as Captain Olivia Benson while Peter recurs as defense attorney Trevor Langan in the 21st season of the procedural, which resumes March 19 on NBC.

‘We both treasure family and have the same moral compass,’ Hargitay told Parade in September.
