It’s a “Law & Order: SVU” reunion.

Stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni reunited off-screen for a celebration for Meloni’s birthday.

Hargitay, who plays Olivia Benson on the show, starred alongside Meloni until he left the series in 2011.

Still, the two have remained close away from the cameras. Hargitay is the godmother to Meloni’s daughter.

They both tweeted about their reunion for his 56th birthday.
