Best known for his role as Elliot Stabler in the TV series "Law & Order: SVU," in reality Christopher Meloni has nothing to do with his character. The way he met his wife proves it.

In 1986 Meloni worked in Los Angeles on an HBO production when the production designer arrived and stole her heart. Although they went on one occasion, she had a boyfriend. Meloni returned to New York and for a while did not know about Sherman.

More time passed and Christopher met Sherman again, this time they went out and she took him to three different parties. At the end of the evening, Sherman concluded that with him he could go anywhere and feel comfortable.

Christopher did not give up. It took him two years to start dating and six more months to live together. It also took him four years to convince his girl to say “yes, I accept.” They celebrated the medieval-style wedding on the beach, in Malibu, California, and drink tequila shots to seal their love.

MARRIAGE

The first years of marriage were flying from coast to coast. Sherman continued in Los Angeles, while Christopher proceeds his career in New York. However, the couple made an unwavering deal; they would never spend more than three weeks fall apart.

This worked well until the children arrived. In 2002 Sophia was born, the firstborn of marriage and Sherman made a difficult decision: leave the west coast and move to the Big Apple. Christopher was clear that he needed money to raise children and have a family. Work was his priority.

SOLID CAREER

With an amazing natural actin talent, Chris participated in a variety of titles “Runaway Bride,” “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle,” “Wet Hot American Summer,” and the “HBO prison drama Oz.” The NBC producers noticed in it and they offered him a part in "Law & Order: SUV."

FAMILY MATTERS

A fair compensation, since the production of Law & Order: SVU, kept Christopher five to six days a week busy filming 14 or 15 hours a day. But the actor was very clear, what is really valuable was waiting for him at home.

And it is that Christopher loves his children with all his heart. They give the actor joy in the heart. In addition to Sophia, the couple has another child born in 2004, a boy named Dante. There is also Sherman, who is neither demanding nor demanding as a wife or as a mother.

PRESENT

The years pass and the children are no longer young, Sophia is a university student and in her social media, she shares photos of important moments of her family life, just like her parents. Dante, meanwhile, is a 15-year-old boy, not as communicative as his parents and sister.
