Mariska Hargitay shows off rarely-seen lookalike teenage son, August
Mariska Hargitay, 59, thrilled fans by sharing a photo of her son, August, 17, on a Safari trip in Kenya. August, seated beside Mariska, resembles both parents. Fans noted his striking resemblance to Mariska, with one saying, “You really said copy and paste with August’s face!” Others see his father, Peter Hermann, in him, with one fan commenting, “August really just went and took Peter’s entire face.”
August, born on June 28, 2006, shares a close bond with Mariska, often accompanying her on work trips since he was six weeks old. Mariska shared how August’s adventurous spirit once led him to wander on a plane, saying, “He’s such a curious and social little guy…”
August plays a protective role as a big brother to Amaya and Andrew. Mariska shared how he embraced Amaya as “his baby” upon her adoption. She revealed, “He said, ‘I want a baby sister,’ and Amaya came. Then he said, ‘I want a baby brother,’ and Andrew came.” August delights in his siblings and his role as a big brother.
