Mariska Hargitay misses her kids: 'There are days I go home and just cry'

Mariska Hargitay misses her kids: 'There are days I go home and just cry'
Mariska Hargitay has always impressed me, both with her work ethic and lending her voice to important issues. I hold a special place in my heart for her because of her past. I know she doesn?t remember it but even the knowledge that she was in the car when her mother died so tragically seems like it would be hard to shake. But she did and forged her way into becoming a successful actor on a long-running hit series. She?s happily married and raising three kids out of the spotlight, August, 11, Amaya, seven, and Andrew, six. She seemingly ?has it all.? But even Mariska says the balance of happy home and career life is too much sometimes and there are days she beats herself up just like the rest of us.

She?s a jack of all trades! Mariska Hargitay got real about the difficulties she faces balancing work and family.

?It?s hard. I?m not going to say it?s easy, it?s hard. I?m learning to [balance]. I try to be super present with where I am,? Hargitay, who plays Olivia Benson on the hit series, explained. ?When I?m at work, I?m at work. When I?m with my kids, I?m with my kids.?

?I have an incredible support system with my husband. He?s an actor so he also understands,? she gushed. ?I try to keep it organic. The kids come to set all the time. I?ve worked out my schedule a bit that I have a little more flexibility. I have a great time behind me.?

Even so, sometimes it can be great burden to bear. ?There are days I go home and just cry. There have been days when I didn?t see my kids. Those are the days I?m, like, ?Maybe I?m done,?? she recalled. ?But now, this is a gift of doing something for 20 years. We?re such a well-oiled machine. I go in there and I?m like, Guys, I?ve got a kids thing. I?m out.? They?re like, ?Got it, boom.??

[From Us]

I?m glad to hear that after 20 years, Law & Order: SVU (dun-dun) allows Mariska the flexibility she needs. I have a job but I work from home and my boss allows me a great deal of leeway (for which I am very grateful). So even though I work, I relate more to a stay-at-home parent. So, I really don?t know what it?s like to miss my kids and I think other ?always home? parents will understand when I say, I?d kind of like to. And yet, I still go to bed thinking I?ve failed my kids by not being there. My point is, parents will always feel they?ve let someone down but the occasional bake sale will get missed and life will go on. We tell our kids to work hard and give their all to school or baseball or whatever they?ve committed to, shouldn?t we lead by example? Mariska sounds like she?s figured it out, but I understand that even if that?s true, some demons are hard to kill.

Now, let?s talk about why Mariska really hates being away from home ? her husband Peter Hermann (that?s a joke, please don?t come for me on that). Oh my stars, I find him so attractive. He plays Charles on Younger and may be the main reason I continue to watch that show. To hear that he not only adores his wife but works to make the balance at home just *swoon*. And I think hes just as lucky to have Mariska by his side.

Mariska Hargitay on national rape kit testing backlog: 'I?m beyond outraged'
I used to be a huge Law & Order: SVU fan-girl. Like, I was obsessed with it. I?ve probably seen all of the SVU episodes up until? I don?t know, Season 7 or 8? I stopped watching it when they were doing too much stunt-casting and the shenanigans with the revolving ADAs was terrible (ugh, Sharon Stone). Then Christopher Meloni left and I was glad I was no longer watching. Still, I have an abiding love and admiration for Mariska Hargitay/Detective Olivia Benson. What I love in particular about Mariska is that she completely owns the role of Det. Benson and she?s used that role and her position to speak for real-life victims of sexual violence and rape. She founded a charity to support victims of sexual violence called The Joyful Heart Foundation. And now she?s using her fame to bring attention to an urgent and important criminal issue: the backlog of untested rape kits.

?Law & Order: Special Victims Unit? star Mariska Hargitay is helping victims of rape off-screen, too. Hargitay was spotted at restaurant Sienna in East Hampton saying she?s campaigning for law-enforcement agencies to deal with a national backlog of untested ?rape kits.?

?There are hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits in police and crime- lab storage facilities,? she wrote in a recent column online. ?Every year, thousands of individuals take the courageous step of reporting their rape to the police . . . The evidence is then collected in a ?Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit? ? a rape kit . . . And yet, hundreds of thousands of times, a decision is made not to process the evidence. Too difficult to prosecute, too murky, too expensive ? not a priority.?

A source said Hargitay will shoot a documentary on this subject in two months. She has a producer for the project and is meeting with directors. The actress was overheard further explaining, ?When you don?t test a rape kit, it sends the message that?s it?s not a serious crime, and I?m beyond outraged.?

[From Page Six]

God, how admirable. What an important issue and what a great spokesperson for the issue. I LOVE HER!! Seriously, I remember reading about the rape kit backlog a few years ago, and I believe that one of the pressure points of the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization (which was left unauthorized for a whole year in 2012 before being reauthorized this year) was dedicating funding to work through the rape kit backlog. Still, this is a vital issue that needs more attention and I love that Mariska is doing her part.

Mariska Hargitay talks adoption struggles: 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart'
Mariska Hargitay covers the new issue of Good Housekeeping, and the interview excerpts from the cover story are pretty good. We haven?t talked about Mariska much since she adopted two babies within six months last year – she welcomed daughter Amaya and son Andrew into her family, which includes husband Peter Hermann and her oldest child, August. In this piece, Mariska talks about her babies and the adoption process:

Mariska Hargitay is used to dealing with heart-stopping situations on Law & Order: SVU, but nothing on-screen compares to her harrowing experience adopting two children. In the span of six months last year, Hargitay and her husband, actor Peter Hermann, adopted both daughter Amaya Josephine, now 13 months old, and son Andrew Nicolas, 9 months.

Hargitay and Hermann have a biological son, August, 5, whom Hargitay says is feeling ?pretty good and pretty powerful? about his younger siblings.

?August thinks this was all his idea,? Hargitay tells Good Housekeeping in their May issue. ?He said, ?I want a baby sister,? and Amaya came. Then he said, ?I want a baby brother,? and Andrew came.?

But in actuality, the process was not that easy. In fact, Hargitay says the building of their family was, at times, heartbreaking.

?I?m not gonna lie,? Hargitay admits. ?There were wrenching moments. I say to everybody, ?Adoption is not for the faint of heart.??

Because Hargitay was 42 when she gave birth to August, she and Hermann were concerned about being able to have additional children, she admits.

?August wanted siblings, and Peter and I both envisioned this big family because we both come from that,? she says. ?I really did think that down the line, Peter and I would adopt a child. That was always part of the plan.?

She and Hermann began the process two years ago, meeting with an adoption lawyer and going through home inspections to get the ball rolling.

After a couple of failed attempts to connect with a birth mother, Hargitay says, they found someone not far from New York City. After Hargitay and Hermann met the woman, finalized the adoption plan, were present in the delivery room, named the newborn and parented her for two days, the birth mother changed her mind, according to Hargitay.

?It was nothing short of devastating,? Hargitay explains. ?But ? it was probably the greatest, happiest ending. I mean, it was so painful for us, but it was deeply joyful and deeply right for her.?

Hargitay says she still keeps in touch with the woman and, though she has not seen the baby again, feels that she is ?forever connected to her.?

Then, just over a year ago, she and Hermann were connected with the woman who gave birth to Amaya. Though Hargitay says they were initially told the baby would be a boy, they were thrilled to find out they would be having a little girl. Hargitay even helped to deliver Amaya in the hospital.

?Peter and I held her, and then the birth mother and I hugged for a long time,? she recalls. ?That was profound. That was one of the most meaningful moments I?ve ever had in my life.?

Though they had wanted to wait about 18 months before adopting a second child, as fate would have it, they received word just half a year later that there was a premature baby boy awaiting adoption.

?It was a no-brainer,? Hargitay says. ?It was like ? a miracle. And I don?t use that word lightly. I?ve never made a bigger decision so quickly.?

They decided to name the infant Andrew, after a dear friend of theirs who had recently passed away. Andrew still struggles with health issues, and the family has a private nurse living with them to tend to him, but Hargitay says she wouldn?t change a thing about how her family was formed.

?Adoption was a bumpy ride ? very bumpy,? she notes. ?But, God, was it worth the fight.?

[From People]

Okay, am I the only one who teared up? My eyes are still welled with tears about the part about ?Peter and I held her, and then the birth mother and I hugged for a long time. That was profound. That was one of the most meaningful moments I?ve ever had in my life.? And the story about the birth mother changing her mind two days later? GAH. Mariska just made me cry. I?ve heard that Mariska?s husband is a deeply religious man (their first date was going to church), and I have no doubt that this journey has been deeply spiritual for both Mariska and Peter.

Mariska Hargitay will miss her BFF Christopher Meloni

Mariska Hargitay will miss her BFF Christopher Meloni
As we heard last week, Christopher Meloni is closing down his private gun show on Law & Order: SVU. Meloni has had a long rumored desire to leave the successful show, and I guess he was just asking for too much money during his contract renegotiations, because Meloni and the producers have now established that Meloni isn?t coming back next season. Many of us wondered if they should just discontinue the series instead of forcing them to limp on, Meloni-less. Mariska Hargitay is good, but it she good enough to go it alone? Well, if I was in charge of the show, I would simply put Mariska in more episodes with Belzer and Ice-T, because she has chemistry with both men and that could totally be a watchable show. Unfortunately, it looks like Mariska already has one foot out the door, and they?re probably going to cast Jennifer Love Hewitt and the Lollipop Guild.

Anyway, Hargitay has now released a statement about Meloni?s departure:

One of TV’s longest-running ? and hottest-looking ? couples are to be no more.

This week brought the official announcement from NBC that Christopher Meloni, who has played Detective Stabler on Law & Order: SVU since the series began in 1999, will not be back for a 13th season this fall. Contract talks reportedly broke down.

That leaves his costar, Mariska Hargitay, partner-less. But the week also brought the unsettling news that the actress will be not be appearing in all of next season’s episodes.

Regarding the departure of her costar, Hargitay ? who plays Detective Olivia Benson ? said in a statement released late Friday:

“For the past 12 years Chris Meloni has been my partner and friend, both on screen and off. He inspired me every day with his integrity, his extraordinary talent and his commitment to the truth. I love him deeply and will miss him terribly ? I’m so excited to see what he’ll do next.”

[From People]

Aw. Has anyone else seen Mariska?s E! True Hollywood Story? She and Meloni have always been tight, ever since the first time they auditioned together. They simply have great chemistry, and they make for a great on and off-screen partnership. I do think she?s going to miss him quite a bit, to the point where it might not even be fun for her to work on the show anymore.

I really feel like this next season of L&O: SVU will be the last. Or SHOULD be the last. Fingers crossed.

Mariska Hargitay adopted an American baby girl, named her Amaya
I no longer watch Law & Order: SVU (the Christina Lahti-Sharon Stone story lines finally killed the series for me), but I still have residual goodwill for Mariska Hargitay, just because she seems like an awesome person. So I?m really, really happy for her news: Mariska confirmed to People Magazine last night that she and her hottie husband Peter Hermann have adopted a baby girl. They named her Amaya Josephine! You can see the photo of Mariska and Amaya here, at People.

Mariska Hargitay has a big surprise to share. The Law & Order: SVU star and her husband, actor Peter Hermann, have adopted a baby girl, she tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Baby Amaya Josephine was born about a week ago and is from the United States.

“I’m deliriously happy,” Hargitay, 47, tells PEOPLE. “From the minute she was born, she was just surprisingly alert and so full of love.”

“We were considering both international and domestic adoption and we’re thrilled that this is the way our prayers were answered,” she adds. “We talked a lot about mixed-race adoptions, and we are very excited that we are now a multi-racial family. We’re just so happy she’s here.”

And there’s one family member who’s more excited than anyone: Hargitay’s 4-year-old son, August.

“He is over the moon,” says the actress. “He calls her his baby because he says the whole thing was his idea. He always talks about how he’s going to protect her. He’s going to be a great big brother.”

[From People]

Any thoughts on Mariska?s open discussion of her now multi-racial family? Is it even a big deal at this point? I don?t think so. If she didn?t mention it, I wonder if anyone would have even brought it up. I also think it?s interesting that she ended up adopting domestically, like Sandra Bullock. Although, unlike Bullock, it sounds like Mariska isn?t disrespecting international adoptions in general, she makes it sound like all options were on the table, and this is just their experience. Anyway, congratulations to Mariska, Peter and August on the new addition to their family!

Mariska Hargitay on Jay Leno: he 'ruined' Law  Order: SVU
My girlfriend Mariska Hargitay is the February cover girl for More Magazine, and OK! Magazine has some lovely interview excerpts. Mariska talks about being a size 8 in a size zero world, the time some a-hole told her to get a nose job, and how much she hates Jay Leno. Not really on the last one, Mariska just blame Leno and the boneheads at NBC for killing Law & Order: SVU?s original 10 p.m. timeslot, and she also blames them for the decline in ratings this season. Now, here?s the thing: I?m a loyal SVU watcher, and while I hate that SVU comes on at 9 p.m. now, I also think this season sucked (especially the first episodes) because they cast Christine Lahti as a raging alcoholic paleo-feminist who treated men like crap under the guise of ?girl power? - and who was, coincidentally, terrible at her job as a prosecutor. While that plotline might have been realistic, it sucked the life out of the first part of the season, and even throwing Lahti off the show wasn?t enough to make it better.

Mariska Hargitay is one of the most respected actresses on primetime TV, and her success on Law & Order: SVU has also made her one of the highest-paid stars on network TV.

?The only reason I have the career I have is that I didn?t quit,? the actress admits in the February issue More magazine. The cover girl opened up about her thoughts on The Jay Leno Show bumping SVU, living in the shadow of her iconic mother, Jayne Mansfield, her financial worries and the constant pressure on actresses to be beautiful.

?A guy at ABC told me to change my name and get a nose job. I said, ?You get a nose job,?? Mariska reveals in her More interview on not having the conventional movie star looks. ?I think I?m a very attractive person, but I don?t put myself in the realm of the beauty. That?s not where I get my esteem. I?m a size 8, and I feel proud of that, because it?s healthy. I?ve never felt compelled to be a skinny actress.?

Even though she is one of the highest-paid primetime actresses, Mariska still stresses about money.

?I constantly worry about money. I make a lot now, but I don?t feel that way, because I was poor and had no money for a lot longer than I?ve had it,? she said. ?As an actor, if this show ends next year, then what? As an aging woman, then what? I?m saving money to live on, for the future. There are not that many roles for women, and I?ve been blessed with one of the great ones.?

SVU was affected by the late night shift when Jay Leno? came on the scene for his 10 p.m. primetime talk show. The drama was forced to move into the 9 p.m. slot because of The Jay Leno Show.

?It ruined our numbers. The first four episodes, we were considerably down because nobody knew when the show was on. Finally, we?re starting to find our audience again.?

As a result of Jay?s low ratings, and the changing late night lineup, Mariska wishes the network would reconsider moving SVU back to its original time slot.

?I hope we go back to where we belong. It was doing so well. Why mess with it??

Mariska opens up on being compared to her mother Jayne Mansfield, an iconic sex symbol and Hollywood? star in the 1940s and ?50s.

?I can never compete, so I don?t try. It?s mega ber, it?s legendary, it?s iconic. Being a sex symbol is not my thing; it?s not where I shine.?

Mariska comments on ?losing her home too early? after the death of her mother.

?I?m getting it back through Peter and August, and, strangely, through the foundation. It?s about following the signs, listening to your inner voice. I?m living my life, and I know that this is what I?m supposed to be doing.?

Playing detective Olivia Benson is a hard job, and in October, Mariska landed awkwardly during a stunt and didn?t realize until months later that she had suffered a collapsed lung.

?I thought it was a pulled rib. I?m pretty tough. When I couldn?t breathe anymore, I got an X-ray, and they couldn?t believe I was walking? I was doing stunts when I was pregnant. I?d fall, jump on guys. Now there are scenes when I have to run, and I?ll only take a few steps. Everyone is super-careful of me.?

Mariska started the foundation Joyful Heart, which helps survivors of sexual assault and is an important cause in her life.

?Doing something about it takes away some of my sadness. We can get closer to cures by shining a light on [the abuse]. I liken it to what happened with AA 15 years ago, where there?s not a stigma to it. We?d love to see that happen to sexual assault.?

Mariska?s full cover story can be found in the February issue of More Magazine on newsstands January 26th.

[From OK! Magazine]

Sigh? I love Mariska. I find her very ?real?. Maybe this isn?t who she really is, but give me my fantasy that she?s this cool and down-to-earth. I was really worried about her last year when she went into the hospital repeatedly, and I honestly thought it was something more serious than a collapsed lung - although that is serious, I just thought my girl was dying or something. Anyway, I?m glad that she?s doing well, I hope SVU returns to 10 p.m. and I hope they lose Christine Lahti?s number permanently.

Mariska Hargitay talks about lung problems, but not pregnancy rumors
Mariska Hargitay is finally clearing the air about her repeated hospitalizationso ver the past several months. As Mariska went in and out of the hospital and on and off the set of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, the rumors have been everything to near-death pneumonia to some sort of contract negotiations with SVU producers. Mariska spoke out Monday night, telling People Magazine that as she was doing a stunt during SVU filming, she ?fell wrong, basically? and collapsed her lung. As for the repeated hospitalizations, Mariska?s rep still claims that those visits were only for repeated tests and check-ups. Oh, well. If she?s out and about, that?s a good sign. Hopefully she?s feeling a lot better:

Since January, when her rep announced Mariska Hargitay had suffered a partially collapsed lung, information about the nature of the Law & Order: SVU’s star condition has been scant, until now.

During a dinner in Manhattan for the American Ballet Theater on Monday, Hargitay, 45, told PEOPLE: “I’ve been doing my own stunts on the show for 10 years. I fell wrong, basically. I collapsed my lung doing a stunt.”

Hargitay underwent surgery in January, then returned to work on her NBC series soon after ? only to check back into the hospital on March 3, at which time her rep said: “She is undergoing routine tests and expects to be feeling better soon.”

A March 9 statement said, “Mariska is recovering well and is expected to return to SVU in the next couple of weeks.” On March 23, PEOPLE reported she was back on the set.

And now? “I’m 100 percent,” a spectacular-looking Hargitay, in a long gown by Caroline Herrera, told PEOPLE at the dinner, where Caroline Kennedy introduced Michelle Obama, who in turn introduced the young performers of the ABT’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School.

Added Hargitay: “I’m back to my old self.”

[From People]

Yes, Mariska is already back to shooting Special Victims Unit, even though this has been the worst season ever. Well, there have been a few exceptions. That episode about child soldiers immigrating to New York was really good - and they even filmed a scene at the United Nations! That was exciting. But perhaps for Mariska?s return next season, they should get some more interesting sex crimes.

The National Enquirer has a theory this week on Mariska?s illness and her new-found health - they claim that now that she?s feeling better, she?s really wants to try to get pregnant again. Her son August turn three next month - and he?s one of the cutest babies ever. Good gene pool!

?Mariska is happily telling close friends her collapsed lung issues are over and all she can think of is giving her son August a little baby brother or sister - and soon!? a source revealed to The Enquirer.

[She] and husband Peter Hermann, 41, whom she married in 2004, began making effort again to expand their family, says another insider. August was born in June 2006.

?It?s her dream to have a second child - it?s almost as if it?s all she can think about,? said the insider.

And while her publicist denies she?s pregnant now, the baby buzz is already swirling on the ?SVU? set, maintains the insider.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, May 25, 2009]

I was thinking about reporting on this story last week, but it didn?t seem like there was much to go on. They?re not claiming Mariska is pregnant, only that she would like another child. Which I?m sure she would - although she?s already given some quotes about how much she?s missing from August?s childhood by being on the SVU set so much. So either she?s trying to get pregnant, or she?s signed on for another few years on SVU. Who knows?

Mariska Hargitay is back to work after second hospitalization
Mariska Hargitay isn?t taking her Law and Order: SVU co-star Ice-T?s advice to take some time and heal. Her rep confirmed that she?ll be back to filming episodes of SVU for the rest of the season. So far, Mariska has only missed one episode due to her mystery lung ailment. It?s unknown exactly what?s going on with her health, but she?s been hospitalized twice, the second time just last week. OK! has more:

Despite rumors speculating that Law and Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay would be missing the entire rest of the season due to health concerns, the actresses’ rep tells OK! not to believe the buzz.

“Not true,” says the rep of the report. “Mariska is recovering well and is returning to the show this season. She is only missing one episode.”

Mariska’s had a bumpy few months after being hospitalized for a collapsed lung in mid January. The star returned to work and seemed to be doing well, but had to visit the hospital again after experiencing some discomfort relating to the lung condition.

I?m a huge fan of Mariska?s, and I feel very strongly that if my girl needs to rest and recuperate, that?s what she should be doing. SVU can?t have that many more episodes to film, so why all the drama about her coming back to work so soon? There?s obviously something wrong with her, or she wouldn?t have needed to be hospitalized a second time. There?s even a rumor going around that she needs surgery, but that hasn?t been verified by anyone close to Mariska.

Ice-T is worried about Mariska Hargitay, tells her to rest
In January, news broke that Mariska Hargitay had suffered a partially collapsed lung, and the actress was hospitalized for a week. She went back to work soon after, but there were still rumors that the actress was struggling. Then last week word broke that Hargitay had been experiencing chest pain on the set of ?Law & Order: SVU? and was being re-hospitalized.

The current information is that Mariska is still suffering from some kind of infection, and sources told Star Magazine that she will most likely need surgery, though Mariska?s spokeperson only confirmed that she?s undergoing tests. Her L&O co-star Ice-T (who brilliantly portrays Detective Odafin ?Fin? Tutuola) spoke out about his friend at a recent event, and People Magazine has more:

Law & Order: SVU star Ice-T was surprised to hear that his costar, Mariska Hargitay, was re-hospitalized Tuesday night after she had returned to the set so quickly ? less than a month ? after undergoing surgery in January for a partially collapsed lung.

“When she came back last time it was like nothing ever happened. She’s very resilient. This woman is a hard worker; she works 14 hours a day. I don’t know what you know about episodic drama television, but it’s like a movie that never ends, it’s just one day,” the Grammy-winning rapper and actor, 51, told PEOPLE Thursday at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation event, co-sponsored by LG Mobile Phones.

On the topic of Hargitay, 45, Ice-T cited her desire to downplay any hardships she might be facing. “Mariska is the type of woman that if you walk up and say, ‘How are you?’ She’s almost like a guy and is like, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’m all right.’

“It’s almost as if you insult her. She doesn’t want you to feel sorry for her, she’s like, ‘I’m on my feet.’ ”

In the meantime ? although Ice-T’s been told Hargitay is “doing okay” ? “My personal thought is she just needs to take a little time and rest,” he says. “I mean, it’s a serious thing. You can’t just come right back. You’ll re-injure yourself.”

That?s sweet, right? Like the gangster rapper really cares about his girl Mariska. Ice-T has been on the cast of SVU for more than eight years, and I?ve always believed that out of all of the L&O series, SVU has the best, most cohesive ensemble cast. And I agree whole-heartedly with Ice-T?s recommendation to his girl - Mariska needs to take a break and get well. SVU will still be there when she gets better. In the meantime, they can write around her character like they did when she was pregnant. Prayers to Mariska!

Mariska Hargitay hospitalized again for mystery lung ailment
Poor Mariska Hargitay. The Emmy-winning ?Law & Order: SVU? star has been hospitalized yet again for something involving the mysterious lung problems she faced in January. At the start of the year, Mariska had a collapsed lung, and had to stay in a hospital for more than a week. Nothing was ever reported about exactly what had happened to Mariska. A few weeks after the incident, Mariska was back at work. Now it seems that Mariska is back in the hospital after complaining of chest pains yesterday.

After suffering through a lung that collapsed twice and multiple surgeries earlier this year, it seemed Mariska Hargitay was on the mend, reporting to work on the set of Law and Order: SVU and seeming healthy.

But now an insider confirms to OK! that the actress has headed back to the hospital, perhaps for an ailment related to her previous lung problems, but it is unsure exactly what has her checking in for medical care this time around.

The star reportedly complained of chest pains on the set of the NBC show yesterday and was taken to the hospital.

Co-star Stephanie March told OK! in January that Mariska seemed “strong as an ox” when she returned to the set.

From OK! Magazine

I?m a fan of the show, and I?ve been really disappointed with this season. That is, when new episodes come on. A new episode of ?Law & Order: SVU? hasn?t been shown in weeks. Maybe this is the reason - Mariska is sicker than SVU producers are letting on.

Mariska is an extremely cool actress, mother, wife and women?s rights advocate. I really hope everything turns out okay for her and her health.
