Mariska Hargitay’s Heartfelt Moment with Daughter Amaya

In a touching throwback shared by onlyhargitay, fans saw a beautiful moment between Mariska Hargitay and her daughter, Amaya. Best known as Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, Mariska’s real-life role as a mother is just as inspiring.

Her “deep commitment to motherhood” fuels her passion for advocacy. Through the Joyful Heart Foundation, which she founded, she supports survivors of “sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic violence.” Mariska’s life, both on and off-screen, is a testament to strength, compassion, and the power of using her platform for change.
