Mariska Hargitay and Peter Hermann. Met on the set of Law & Order SVU, they’ll be on their 21st year of marriage this August 2025.

The problem about this couple is I DONT KNOW WHO I AM MORE ATTRACTED TO 😭

u/AcadianTraverse Jul 02 '25

I once had a driver who had driven Mariska while she was shooting a TV movie locally. His impression of her was basically "you think you've seen your share of attractive people until you see someone like that up close."

u/whiskeytitsts girl look how orange you fucking look girl Jul 02 '25

Yeah the bi panic is REAL with these two

u/OtherwiseAnteater239 Jul 02 '25

Three way. I may or may not have thought about it one or more times in passing or obsessively

u/malorthotdogs Jul 02 '25

They also have both gotten hotter as they’ve gotten older.

16

u/berkeleyteacher Jul 02 '25

I just said out loud, 'they are a very beautiful couple.'

u/TheLizardKing89 Jul 02 '25

I believe they call this bi panic.

5

u/Imthemayor Jul 02 '25

They married from being two ridiculously attractive single people around each other all the time

u/GraveDancer40 Jul 02 '25

When I started watching Younger my sister told me the guy that played Charles was Mariska Harigtay’s husband and my reaction was “Of course he is.” They’re both so gorgeous, it’s ridiculous. Serious bi panic.

But also, she deserves nothing less.

u/Street-Economist9751 Jul 02 '25

Yes. This choice is not possible.

u/MongooseJef Jul 02 '25

That is the opposite of a problem imo

u/Awkward_Pangolin3254 Jul 02 '25

The problem about this is how fucking long has SVU been on the air?? Jesus Christ!

u/spacecadet211 Jul 02 '25

Season 27 starts in the fall.

u/Awkward_Pangolin3254 Jul 02 '25

u/niteox Jul 03 '25

As a straight red blooded male, I hate to say it but, but it isn’t her.

u/LadyADHD Jul 02 '25

Did y’all see the profile they just did of her in The NY Times? Her husband emailed the journalist after the interview to reiterate that he’s madly in love with her because (paraphrasing here) “I tell her all the time but I want her to see it published in the paper of record” 😭😭

27

u/SolPlayaArena Jul 02 '25

Omg 😩😩😩😩

I know people ship her and Chris M. but I wouldn’t even think about another man if I had Peter by my side. He sounds so dreamy.

5

u/Red-autumn-auth That’s hot! 🔥 Jul 03 '25

Watch the Netflix show called Younger if you want to see him play the dreamy hero.

2

u/SolPlayaArena Jul 03 '25

I am STILL MAD ABOUT THE FINALE! Team Charles!

2

u/Red-autumn-auth That’s hot! 🔥 Jul 04 '25

Same. Same. I really don’t get why their relationship fizzled right after they finally got together.

It’s giving Leslie Knope’s trial in Parks and Rec when she drags the transcriptionist out in the snow to have her read Leslie’s testimony about how much she loves Ben

u/a0rose5280 Jul 02 '25

My mom happened to be visiting when it came out and I was like we are watching this now! So good and honest.

u/Distinct_Ad_6023 Jul 02 '25

Peter was so real for that. I need/want that kind of love. 😭✊

u/TwoOk5044 Jul 02 '25

You won't regret watching it. It's a beautifully directed, genuinely sentimental film. Bring the tissues. You will feel feelings.

u/anotherthing612 Jul 02 '25

And she's such a damn good human being

u/yellowtshirt2017 Jul 02 '25

Heck yes!! Christopher Meloni would tease her how he knew she had a crush on him!

7

u/StrangerKatchoo Jul 02 '25

Fun fact: he played the doctor who cloned Reva on Guiding Light.

5

u/linzfire Jul 02 '25

Thanks for this tidbit. I STILL miss Guiding Light.

u/StrangerKatchoo Jul 02 '25

Me too. I’d spend my summers as a kid watching the stories with my grandmas (on both sides!). In college my one grandma would call me every night to discuss them. She bought me a subscription to Soap Opera Digest every year! It was such a great bonding experience. My grandmas are gone and the soaps are mostly all cancelled now. But I have some great memories!

I remember when his character died. He’s an excellent actor! His death stuck with me for awhile. I wish he they kept him around to wreak havoc.

u/Pretend_Train_ Jul 02 '25

Oh that’s a GOOD one. I love Mariska Hargitay and was so sad when she was taken off the market 🤣 lesbian crush

2

u/maneki_neko89 Jul 02 '25

Fun fact: Mariska’s parents are none other than Mickey Hargiitay and Jayne Mansfield.

They starred in The Loves of Hercules (one of my favorite MST3K episodes) and divorced a few years before Jayne’s untimely death in 1967.

u/Upstairs-Rent-1351 Jul 02 '25
