Fans were thrilled with the photo, with one replying: "Love this couple!!!!" A second said: "Love the purse and the man," while others simply commented with red hearts and heart-eyes emojis.
Mariska has been married to fellow actor Peter since 2004. The couple met on the set of Law and Order: SVU all the way back in 2001 when the actor guest-starred on the police procedural drama.
Speaking of the moment she knew Peter was 'the one', Mariska said on The Drew Barrymore Show in January: "Our first date he asked me to go to church with him.

"And I was moving, and I said, 'Peter, I would love to but not today I am moving today.' And he goes, 'Oh come on it's an hour. It's an hour.' It was so funny; I just couldn't resist so I went to church."
She added: "And it was that day I remember we went to church, and I am crying, and he thinks I am so moved by the sermon, and I am crying because I am like, 'I know I am going to marry him. I found my husband. I love him.'"
Away from the cameras, the couple are proud parents to three children. They welcomed their first child together, a son named August, in 2006. Five years later, in 2011, they decided to grow their family again, this time choosing to adopt a baby girl named Amaya Josephine. Less than a year later, they adopted another child, a baby boy named Andrew.
