Mariska Hargitay Is ‘So Happy’ With Her Life Today After Tragic Loss in Her Childhood


Mariska Hargitay is reportedly 'just so happy' with how her life, including her family and job, turned out after she experienced a tragic loss in her childhood.

“As tragic as her mom’s death was, she had her dad (Mr. Universe, Mickey Hargitay), stepmom and stepsiblings,” the insider shared of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star, 60. The source revealed that Mariska and Peter, 57, “just had to be together.” She even broke out in tears on their first date at a church service because she knew she had found the man of her dreams. The source added that the role Mariska has played for 25 years now, which inspired her to start the Joyful Heart Foundation dedicated to ending sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse, is “a part of who she is.”
