“We went to church together, and it was like getting hit with a lightning bolt,” she said.
“I just started sobbing. Peter thought I was crying because I was so moved by the service. No, it was because I was just overwhelmed, realising he was the one.”Hargitay, Hermann and their family. (Getty Images for Big Apple Circu)
Hargitay met Hermann five years into her 25-year stint working on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
“It’s been incredible. It’s been 25 years, and I haven’t been able to take it in until this year. I think [because of] the milestone of it all,” Hargitay told ET.
