Television actress Mariska Hargitay recently reappeared on social media after a break from filming the much-loved crime drama series, "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit."

She rarely shares photos with her loved ones, but this time, the California native posted a picture with her beloved husband, Peter Hermann, on March 18, 2023.

Judging by the selfie, the couple, who wore sunglasses, appeared to be at a tennis match at the 2023 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. Mariska did not exactly caption the post and only revealed that the pair are tennis lovers using a hashtag.

Fans were captivated by the social media upload and reacted to it in the comments section. One Instagram user wrote, "Only you two could look perfect at even that angle."

Another person commented about "SVU" going on a break for four weeks and that Hargitay had not shared a recent photo in two weeks during the break.

The director and her actor husband have been married for nearly nineteen years. They celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary in August 2022, and Hargitay marked the occasion with an Instagram tribute.

The Emmy Award winner and Hermann got hitched in August 2004 and welcomed three kids together: daughter Amaya and sons Andrew and August.

The father of three previously divulged one of the reasons why he and Hargitay's marriage has remained intact over the years:

"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 – joy."

Even though the two have had their fair share of troubles, the New York native revealed: "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."

Hermann and his wife met on the set of "SVU," but before she was known as Captain Olivia Benson, she played the role of Didi Edelstein in a '90s sitcom called "Can't Hurry Love."

The show briefly ran from 1995 to 1996, and the People's Choice Award winner reminded fans of her work on the series before it was short-lived.

Hargitay posted a snapshot rocking a '90s look, wearing a waist chain belt on her slim belly in a bright mint green knot-tie sweater, and had her lavender bandeau bra in full display.

Keeping to the '90s-themed look, the philanthropist paired her outfit with a matching purple belt and light lilac-colored pants. She widely smiled on the snap while posing with one hand on her hip.

In her post, Hargitay penned, "#fbf to #canthurrylove #sprinfeels." Fans swooned over the upload and praised her in the comments section.

"She is the queen," one person said. Another questioned, "QUEEN, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! While a third user wished her a happy Spring, writing, "A '90s queen!!"

A fourth Instagram follower commented, "These colors, though, are as bright as your vibe! LOVE!" alongside a heart eyes emoji.

Another Instagram user stated, "'90s Mariska is a whole vibe." Whereas one fan noted Hargitay does not wear such bright colors often, adding, "Soooo cute!"

How Did She Manage to Combine Her & Career Raising Three Children? She Answers

In a June 2018 interview, the award-winning actress got candid about juggling her busy career with raising a family and being a wife. She admitted not all is rosy while being a star and a family woman.

Before explaining, Hargitay revealed that in addition to being a Hollywood star, a mother, and a spouse, she also runs a foundation on top of that.

"I'm learning to be present with where I am. The truth is we have to live the journey, right? And that's what I've learned," the producer said. She has grown a lot on and off the screen and revealed her famous character Benson taught her to be hopeful, vigorous, and to persevere.

Hargitay added her character also helped prepare her for parenthood and compared being a police officer with being a parent. The "Chicago PD" star explained that being an officer requires an individual to be in control, have composure, and respond to emergencies, which is the same as being a parent.

Moreover, the doting mom gushed about her brood, saying, "They are the answer to everything," noting they bring her happiness.
