The couple are proud parents to three children. They welcomed their first child together, August, in 2006. Five years later, in 2011, they decided to grow their family again, this time choosing to adopt daughter Amaya. Less than a year later, they adopted their second son, Andrew.

Mariska has been married to fellow actor Peter since 2004. The couple met on the set of Law and Order: SVU all the way back in 2001 when he guest-starred on the police procedural drama. They tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, after just over two years of dating and have the sweetest love story.

Speaking of the moment she knew Peter was ‘the one’, Mariska said on The Drew Barrymore Show in January 2022: “Our first date he asked me to go to church with him. And I was moving, and I said, ‘Peter, I would love to but not today I am moving today.’ And he goes, ‘Oh come on it’s an hour. It’s an hour.'”

She added: “It was so funny; I just couldn’t resist so I went to church. And it was that day I remember we went to church, and I am crying, and he thinks I am so moved by the sermon, and I am crying because I am like, ‘I know I am going to marry him. I found my husband. I love him.'”
