In June, Hargitay and Hermann, 52, sat down with PEOPLE to talk about their decision to adopt their two younger children, saying it really strengthened their unconditional bond.
“We adopted Amaya, and Andrew, Ialways describe it as thisangel that fell out of the sky, because he was a little unexpected,” the actress told PEOPLE at the time.
The decision to add two more children to their family, while surprising at first, was apivotal moment in the pair’s marriage— and for the better.
“It’s something that happened very quickly, when adoption can take a long time,” Hargitay said. “We were so beautifully and surprisingly … not because we’re not in sync, but surprisingly in sync about something so huge. So momentous.”

For Hermann, the unconventional way he and his wife expanded their tribe only grew thelove he has for his family.
“I always get so private about our kids, but I think that the easiest way or the easiest answer is we just wanted a bigger family and we feel incredibly blessed,” the Younger star told PEOPLE.
His wife added, “I think there is such beauty in the divine architecture of how this family was built.”
