Law & Order: Special Victims Unit<\/em> star Mariska Hargitay<\/strong> generally keeps her family life private, but she made a rare exception for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The actress stepped out with husband Peter Hermann<\/strong><\/a> and their three kids to walk the red carpet at the premiere of her new film, My Mom Jayne<\/em>, on May 17, 2025. In light of the family\u2019s rare appearance, Life & Style<\/em> breaks down everything fans need to know about Mariska\u2019s husband and their children.<\/p>\n Peter is an actor who is most known for his roles as Charles Brooks in Younger<\/em>, Jack Boyle in Blue Bloods<\/em> and defense attorney Trevor Langan in Law & Order: SVU<\/em>, where he met Mariska in early 2002 while guest starring in season 3. Mariska later admitted on The Drew Barrymore Show<\/em> that her first thought when she saw her now-husband on set was, \u201cWho is that Clark Gable, Superman guy that I need to marry today?\u201d<\/p>\n The Emmy winner revealed that, after Peter wrapped up his guest appearance, he asked Mariska on a date to a church service, and she knew then that he was \u201cThe One.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe went to church together, and it was like getting hit with a lightning bolt,\u201d she told People<\/em>. \u201cI just started sobbing. Peter thought I was crying because I was so moved by the service. No, it was because I was just overwhelmed, realizing he was The One<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Mariska and Peter tied the knot after two years of dating in Santa Barbara, California, on August 28, 2004. They have been there to support each other\u2019s biggest career moments since then, including Mariska receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013 and Peter releasing his first children\u2019s book, If the S in Moose Comes Loose<\/em>, in 2018.<\/p>\nWho Is Mariska Hargitay\u2019s Husband Peter Hermann?<\/h2>\n
