Law & Order SVU star Mariska Hargitay shared a very special throwback photo to commemorate her anniversary. She just celebrated her 18th anniversary with her husband Peter Hermann, whom she met while filming an episode of Law & Order SVU in 2002.
Just two years later, they got married and now have three children together: Amaya Hermann, 11, August Hermann, 16, and Andrew Nicolas Hargitay Herman, 10. Mariska shared a black-and-white photo from their wedding day and a more recent image of them lying down on a boat.

She captioned the photos, “Eighteen years. Grateful. In love. Together.” Peter previously shared the secret to their long marriage, especially in Hollywood when many marriages crumble under the bright lights.

He said, “I never thought I would have this much laughter in my life. Not just actual laughter. But also the way that Mariska is just the embodiment of laughter — of joy.” He added, “It’s the way we find our way back to each other. It’s this fantastically, wonderfully ridiculous way that we can swing back and forth any number of times in any given day. But fundamentally we know we have the same destination.”
Happy anniversary to the couple! May they celebrate many more.
