Mariska Hargitay reveals her biological father's identity in new documentary
Briefly

In her new documentary 'My Mom Jayne', Mariska Hargitay uncovers a long-held secret about her biological father, revealing that singer Nelson Sardelli is her true dad, rather than Mickey Hargitay. Raised by Mickey after the death of her mother, Jayne Mansfield, Mariska felt different from her siblings and had suspicions about her paternity for years. Eventually, she approached Sardelli and formed a relationship with him, while expressing loyalty to the father who raised her.
"He was my everything, my idol. He loved me so much, and I knew it. I also knew something else - I just didn't know what I knew."
"I went full Olivia Benson on him. I was like, 'I don't want anything, I don't need anything from you .... I have a dad.'"
