Some actors and actresses tend to be in the public spotlight at all times. Others, however, like to hide from the spotlight and you rarely see them in public.
When actress Mariska Hargitay recently made a rare public appearance, she had her children along with her. It occurred at a benefit gala, and the pictures show that she is no longer afraid to show her children to the world.
Mariska is married to Peter Hermann, an American actor, and they have two adopted children and one biological son. The mother of three is obviously proud of her kids.
Even though they like to stay behind the scenes for the most part, they do occasionally open up by coming out to be seen in public or to give an interview. In a recent interview, Mariska mentioned that she loved being the mother to three children and they have taught her many lessons. She also called her husband her guiding light.
Even though it was an unusual occurrence for them to be out for some pictures, they did take center stage on the carpet and the children were behind them. As they posed for a family picture, they look absolutely perfect together.
As a married couple, they have been together for about 18 years and are still going very strong. When they were asked about the secret to their long relationship, he said that it comes down to creating moments of laughter and joy.
“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.”
Even though they are enjoying life now, there were some problems in the past. These challenges included having a difficult time with the adoption process and she lost her mother when she was young.
They have also lived a life that allowed them to see much of the world and all that it has to offer. Through it all, however, they focused on their careers but at the same time, they made the most of their family life.
This couple is a breath of fresh air in a world where difficulties often arise. We hope that they are happy and healthy for many more years of wedded bliss.
