Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni have a lot to be proud about this month.
The “Law & Order: SVU” and “Law & Order: Organized Crime” stars each have a 2024 graduate in their families, and they recently got together to commemorate their children’s accomplishments.
On June 10, Meloni took to Instagram to share a note of congratulations for his 23-year-old daughter, Sophia, who just finished college, and Hargitay’s son August, who recently wrapped up his high school career. Hargitay shares two other children, Amaya and Andrew, in addition to August with husband Peter Hermann.
“Graduates,” the 63-year-old captioned his post. “Hugs.”
The proud dad shared several photos from the celebration, including one of the graduates posing side by side. In the snapshot, Sophia grins while August holds up a peace sign.
Hargitay, who is Sophia’s godmother, beams with pride in another picture that shows Sophia holding the actor’s face as her co-star Peter Scanavino stands behind her.
Another “Law & Order” star attended the soirée, Isabel Gillies, who played Meloni’s on-screen wife before her character was killed off in Stabler’s return episode to the “L&O” universe, “Return of the Prodigal Son,” in April 2021.
Meloni tagged both Hargitay and Gillies in his post, which included a selfie of the trio, and added the hashtag #Allthebeautifulwomeninmylife.
In his last photo, Meloni posed with his daughter and wife, Sherman Williams. The couple also share a 20-year-old son named Dante.
The actor’s fans shared their reactions in the comments section, with one writing, “Oh my gosh! I love this!! How are these babies so grown up??”
“Be still my heart 😍 congrats to the grads!!” another commented.
