'Law & Order: SVU' Fans Will Lose It Over Mariska Hargitay's Emotional Tribute to Ice-T

From Country Living

  • Law and Order: SVU's Ice-T celebrated his 62nd birthday on February 16.

  • His on-screen partner, Mariska Hargitay, shared a heartfelt post to honor him.


Mariska Hargitay and Ice-T are partners in crime on TV and in real life.

The Law and Order: SVU actors have worked together since the premiere of the NBC drama's second season in 2000. Mariska stars as Captain Olivia Benson, who relies heavily on the support and loyalty of Ice-T's character, Sergeant Odafin "Fin" Tutuola. Over the past two decades, fans have fallen in love with their on-screen friendship—but the pair's relationship off-screen might be even better.

Ice-T rang in his 62nd birthday on February 16 and Mariska shared a touching tribute on Instagram to honor his special day.

"Happy birthday @icet Every time I’m around this #OG i’ve got a #SmileOnMyFace #LoveIsLove," she wrote.

We're smiling too, Mariska!

Alongside the sweet message, she shared a series of photos of herself and Ice-T on the set of SVU. The montage includes throwbacks from years ago as well as behind-the-scenes shots from their most recent record-breaking season, but all the pictures have one thing in common: Mariska and Ice-T look so happy to be working together.

This isn't the first time the actress has showed off her friendship with her co-star on Instagram. Ahead of season 20, Mariska posted a selfie with Ice-T to celebrate the fall premiere of SVU—and her hashtags in the caption left no doubt that their bond will last forever.

"#FromSeasonOneToSeasonTwenty
#TwoDecadesOfFriendship #JustTheTwoOfUs #WeCanMakeItIfWeTry #JustTheTwoOfUs #MeAndIce," she wrote.

Finlivia for life! 🙏
