Mariska Hargitay is hosting the 2026 Emmy Awards on September 14—but before she stepped on stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, she shared a sweet moment with her husband, Peter Hermann.
The couple hit the red carpet like the picture of Hollywood glamour, with Mariska in a sequined red dress and Peter in a black tux. But it wasn’t just their outfits that caught our eye; it was the heartwarming way they looked at each other.
The duo met on the set of Law & Order: SVU in 2002 when Peter guest-starred as a defense attorney. "[I thought], 'Who is that Clark Gable, Superman guy that I need to marry today?'" she joked on The Drew Barrymore Show in January 2022.
They tied the knot in 2004, and they still look as in love as ever.
Take a look.
And we aren’t the only ones to notice. “Beautiful. Both of them. 😍😍,” one person wrote on X. “Girls, the way he holds her by the waist🤏🏾💘💘💘—I love you, Peter Hermann,” said another.
Mariska and Peter also posed for photos with their three children, August, Amaya, and Andrew. Mariska and Amaya even wore matching red dresses.
Mariska’s already nabbed two Creative Arts Emmys this year for her documentary My Mom Jayne, about her mother Jayne Mansfield. She took home trophies for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program.
“I want to thank my amazing husband, who provided the space for me to do it all,” she said in her acceptance speech on September 5, according to People.
Aren’t they just the sweetest?!
