Hargitay once told Closer Weekly that being a wife and a mother is the most joyous part of her life. While perfect marriage is rare these days, she told Entertainment Tonight,
"There is no secret. We’re all just working through it—whether it’s a relationship that exists in the public eye to some degree or doesn’t. Our son plays basketball, and his coach says, ‘Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals,’ and I think when it comes to relationships, the fundamentals, in the end, are not that complicated."
Dating each other for some months, their love flourished and they tied the knot in 2004. Now, they are parents to sons August Miklos Friedrich Hermann, 12, and Andrew Nicholas Hargitay Hermann, 7, and a daughter, Amaya Josephine Hermann, 8.
Further, Peter explained,
"It’s the way we find our way back to each other,” he says. “It’s this fantastically, wonderfully ridiculous way that we can swing back and forth any number of times in any given day. But fundamentally we know we have the same destination."
"We know where we’re headed, and it’s good,” he continues. “And we know we’ll get there together."
Well, let's wish them all the very best for their prosperous life ahead!
