Benson and Stabler are back together...again!
Over the weekend, former Law & Order: Special Victims Unit co-stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni had another real-life reunion and the photos are just too cute! The Emmy-winning actress took to Instagram on Sunday to share images of her and her BFF enjoying some fun in the sun.
"It's on," Hargitay wrote, followed by another caption that read, "Easy like Sunday mornin..."
The two photos show the besties smiling as Meloni wraps his arm around Hargitay. The duo appear to be wet after taking a dip in the pool.
Hargitay and Meloni's latest adorable hang-out comes ahead of their upcoming on-screen reunion.
It was announced back in March 2020 that Meloni would be reprising his role as Elliot Stabler, the SVU character he played for 12 years, on a new spinoff series Law & Order: Organized Crime. Meloni is set to return to SVU in the season 22 premiere and then appear in the NBC spinoff.
As Law & Order fans know, Hargitay and Meloni have been known to reunite pretty often, proving their real-life friendship is just as strong as their TV characters' bond. And now that NBCU's new streaming service Peacock has launched, viewers can revisit Hargitay and Meloni's captivating Law & Order chemistry by binging SVU anytime!
Check out all of Hargitay and Meloni's reunions in the photo gallery below and watch Law & Order: SVU on Peacock now.

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni wake up early to promote a new season of their Law & Order shows on NBC's Today show.
Before announcing one of the biggest winners of the night, the 2022 Emmys presenters have a little fun onstage at the Microsoft Theatre.
The Law & Order: SVU stars stop by the Backstage Creations giving suite at the 2022 Emmys, where they have some fun dressing up in their comfortable Spirit Hoods.
"Sunday night dinner," Mariska shared alongside a selfie of her and Chris, who she starred with on Law & Order: SVU for 12 seasons before the actor left the series in 2011.
Hargitay posed this snap with her bestie while on vacation in December 2018 and we're obsessed. "Vacay...A great night with this one. #Reunited #OldFriends #PTL," she captioned it.
In May 2018, Meloni and Hargitay hung out together in New York City and of course they documented it...thank goodness.
"Crazy ppl on the streets of nyc," Meloni captioned this selfie fail and seriously, how can you not just love these two together?
Blurry or not, this snap of the two former Law & Order: Special Victims Unit co-stars spending time together during the holidays in 2017 is too cute.
After Thanksgiving in 2017, the two pals ran into one another and clearly they still have fun no matter what the occasion.
Ugh, how do we get Detective Stabler to give us a smooch?
Hargitay shared this sweet snap in honor of her former TV partner's birthday in April 2017 and said "PFL" at the end of the note and we're dying a little inside because Stabler and Benson are partners for life!
"And then that happened...Just when I thought Valentine's Day was over," Hargitay wrote alongside this kissing picture from Valentine's Day in 2017 and we are again getting teary-eyed at these two loving each other so much.
In 2016, the former TV partners and real-life friends celebrated Christmas together (well, a few days early) and we are in desperate need of an on-screen reunion now.
"Lean on me #PFL #FacialHairDontCare #Hargoatee #HanginWithAFriend #ItsAllInTheEyesKid," Hargitay wrote on this precious picture and we will never get tired of these quick reunions.
In 2015, in the dark of night, New York City's greatest detectives, err, we mean friends, reunited once again and posed for an epic photo.
It doesn't matter how long these two are apart, they always make time to check in with each other and we are totally on board with all the run-ins that have happened over the past few years.
In March 2014, the duo reunited for dinner proving that they will always be partners, even if they aren't acting alongside one another anymore.
