Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni Have an Iconic Friendship On and Off Screen

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni make up one of TV's most beloved duos: "Law & Order: SVU"'s Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler. While their onscreen chemistry has had many fans hoping their characters would get together, their offscreen relationship has actually been an adorable decades-long friendship.

From lunchtime selfies and cute social media exchanges to traveling together to events, their reunions have always given people hope Meloni would one day return to "SVU." Thankfully, their wish has been granted with Chris's "SVU" spinoff, "Law & Order: Organized Crime." Hopefully, this means we get to see even more glimpses of Hargitay and Meloni's relationship.

So far, that's certainly been the case. The pair walked the Emmys red carpet together on Sept. 12 to promote the upcoming crossover premieres of their respective shows on Sept. 22. Then, they both attended the actual premiere event in NYC on Sept. 19. The jury's out on whether or not their characters will finally get together on screen, but they're certainly not opposed to teasing the possibility (like when they nearly kissed while presenting an award at the Emmys).

This TV duo have a relationship like no other, both on and off screen. Read some of their quotes about their friendship ahead.
