On February 24, 2018. Hargitay and her husband, Peter Hermann, took their three children - August, Andrew, and Amaya - to watch a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.

As reported by Pop Sugar, Andrew and Amaya looked adorable in their matching albeit oversized Knicks t-shirts as the family cheered from the sidelines.

Hermann and Hargitay have been married for 14 years and met on the set of Law & Order. The couple tied the knot on August 28, 2004, and welcomed their first child, August, two years later.

Hargitay started her acting career when she landed the part of Donna in the 1985 film, Ghoulies. She joined the cast of Downtown the following year and appeared in 14 episodes.

Hargitay hopes to shine a light on the 'staggering number of untested rape kits' in her new documentary, as reported by People. The rape kits contain DNA evidence but are collecting dust in storage rooms instead.

“The rape kit backlog is the most shocking demonstration of how we regard these crimes. You can’t change or fix what happened to one person. What you can change is what might happen to someone else.”
