After more than two decades, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni’s friendship is still going strong.

The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star reflected on their 22 year-long friendship at 2021 Glamour Woman of the Year award on Monday, where Meloni presented Hargitay with the coveted title.“You know he, after my husband, he knows me pretty well,” Hargitay, 57, told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet before the ceremony. “So it’s very meaningful, especially after the journey we’ve had these 22 years. The creative journey, the trust, the friendship, he’s sort of seen it all.”

She continued. “You know we’ve gotten in there, we’ve gotten dirty,” she continued. “So it’s very meaningful for me to have it presented by him.”
