“Law & Order: SVU” co-stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni, who famously portrayed Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler on the show, showed off their close friendship at a recent New York Knicks game. The duo sat court-side together at Madison Square Garden, holding hands in a photo shared by the Knicks’ social media accounts. The caption “DUN DUN,” a nod to the iconic sound from “Law & Order” shows, added to the nostalgic moment. Both actors sported casual attire for the outing, with Hargitay in a gray “L.A. Strong” sweatshirt and Meloni in a black jacket and t-shirt paired with blue jeans.
Hargitay and Meloni’s bond dates back to their time working together on “SVU” starting in 1999, where they played detective partners for 12 seasons. Although Meloni left the show in 2011, their characters, Stabler and Benson, reunited briefly for the spinoff series “Organized Crime.” Despite ongoing speculation from fans about a romantic connection between the actors, both Hargitay and Meloni are happily married to their respective spouses.
In a playful social media exchange, Meloni once teased fans with a steamy near-kiss photo of himself and Hargitay, further fueling excitement among “Law & Order” enthusiasts.
