Mariska Hargitay can’t believe she found love on ‘Law & Order: SVU’

Okay Sergeant…

Mariska Hargitay proved a matchmaker pal wrong by finding her soulmate, Peter Hermann, on the set of her hit TV show, Law And Order: Special Victims Unit.

The actress was single when she moved to New York to start work on the hit drama, so her friend decided to help her find a date.

“(She) threw a dinner party for me and she was like, ‘Mariska, you need to get out more…,’” she shared on Live with Kelly and Ryan on Wednesday. “I could never go anywhere because (it was) 15 hours a day, 16 hours a day (on set) every day.

“She said…, ‘No prince handsome is going to walk in on the show and you’re going to marry him’.

But the romance guru was wrong, and when the very tall actor arrived on set to play an attorney, it was love at first sight for Hargitay.

“I was so nervous and a little bit giddy,” she shared. “It was funny because (co-star Chris) Meloni was there. He was watching me and he’d never seen me act like this – ever.”

The couple has been married for 15 years and shares three kids.
