Mariska Hargitay's SVU Partner Says She Was "Stressy" Before Adoption

Anyone would be! Adding the responsibility of another life into your own is a BIG step!

Earlier this week, Mariska Hargitay revealed that she and her husband adopted a baby girl, which they named Amaya Josephine. Though we just found out this week, Chris Meloni, her Law and Order: SVU costar, has known for quite awhile! As he put it, “Uh, yeah [I knew she was adopting!] I’m her partner!” Ha!

Anyway, when asked how things are going for Mariska and her new bundle of joy, Chris sang his partner’s praises, calling her “extraordinarily intelligent” and insisting that she has a lot of “love” to share with her new daughter. However, he added that though she possesses “endless patience,” Mariska still was “a little stressy stressy” while she was planning her adoption.

If she was a little stressed then, she’s going to be a WHOLE LOT stressed now with a newborn in the house. But we bet, if you ask her, it’s all worth it!
