Mariska Hargitay, 58, took in some “Disney magic” with her family while at the Walt Disney World theme park in Florida on Dec. 20. The mom-of-three was at the park to host the Candlelight Procession at the happiest place on earth on Tuesday. “Best ride. Ever,” she captioned one of the clips of her riding the “Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind” rollercoaster. Later, she thanked the park for inviting her to host the special holiday event. “#AboutLastNight Thank you @WaltDisneyWorld for the great honor of hosting the Candlelight Procession. What a glorious gift and what a beautiful tradition,” Mariska captioned the snapshot.
The brunette beauty also posed for a selfie with her kids and husband, Peter Hermann, 55. “Best ride in the galaxy #Guardians #DisneyWorld #CandlelightProsessional,” the star captioned the rare family photo. The proud momma bear even shared a throwback photo of her and her husband holding their son, August, 16, at the theme park. “#FlashbackTuesday #Babies #AllOfUs,” the ER alum wrote.
Many of Mariska’s 2.6 million followers took to the comments section of the plethora of posts to gush about her adorable family. “what an incredibly beautiful moment captured on camera! Peter and his eye for photography is unmatched,” one admirer commented on the snapshot of Mariska and her son, Andrew, 11, snuggled up at the firework show. And a separate fan wrote, “ngl.. y’all are the best couple in the galaxy,” on the adorable ride selfie.
In another one of the super cute family photos, Mariska and her two boys sat down to watch the Disney parade go by, which featured the beloved character, Goofy. One follower even gushed that the 58-year-old should one day grace the parade with her presence. “Nothing like the magic of Disney! Mariska, we need you in the parade one day because, you’re absolutely a Queen in our eyes!”, the fan commented. The Emmy-winner also made sure to take a photo with Mickey Mouse! “M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-S-V-U,” the actress captioned the post which combined Mickey’s name with her hit TV series Law & Order: SVU.
Mariska and Peter share three kids: August, Andrew, and their daughter, Amaya, 11. Peter and his wife welcomed their only biological child, August, on June 28, 2006, about two years after they got married. Later, in April 2011, they adopted Amaya, after Mariska’s first pregnancy proved to be risky on her health. In addition to Amaya, the celeb couple adopted their son, Andrew in Oct. of 2011. “Nobody wanted to be pregnant more than me,” the star told Self Magazine, via PEOPLE, in 2007. “From the minute I found out, I was wearing full-on maternity pants. My stomach was totally flat, mind you, but I was just so excited.”
