Peter Hermann And Mariska Hargitay – 18 YEARS

Mariska Hargitay should be grateful to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for it bridged her to her now-husband, Peter Hermann. The couple met for the first time in 2002 when Peter appeared as a guest star on the series, and they “instantly clicked.” Soon after filming ended, they went to a church activity together for their first date, and Mariska says she felt Peter was “the one” instantly. She fell in love at first sight, but Peter’s feelings took longer to manifest.

Eight months later, on August 28, 2004, the couple got married. Mariska and Peter exchanged vows in the same church where their love story started. The couple admits to fighting, but they always find their way back to each other, and it never ended with one needing to hire a lawyer. From the looks of it, they have discovered that laughter is the secret to the success of their two-decade relationship.
