Hargitay is also mom to daughter Amaya Josephine, 12, and son Andrew, 11, with her husband Peter Hermann. The couple married in 2004 after meeting on the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit .

In October, Hargitay and her daughter attended the premiere of Taylor Swift'The Eras Tour concert film at Los Angeles’ The Grove.

As they posed together on the red carpet, the mother-daughter duo smiled as they held onto each other's hands. Hargitay sported an orange trench coat with feather fringing that she teamed with fitted blue jeans. Meanwhile, Amaya wore a chic blue tulle dress with a black leather jacket.

Hargitay gave birth to August in 2006. She and her husband then adopted Amaya in April 2006 and then Andrew six months later.

"Our family is so perfect, or at least perfect for me," Hargitay told PEOPLE in 2018. "Together we're just this whole, happy, joyful, chaotic, crazy unit. I've never known anything that was more right."

Speaking about how she’s become a better parent, she added, "The thing that's made me a better parent is my kids because they taught me to really listen.”

Hargitay then described Hermann as her “North Star,” and their children as her “teachers."
