He may be known as Detective Elliot Stabler to Law & Order fans, but Christopher Meloni‘s kids just know him as dad. Meloni, who shares two children with his wife Sherman Williams, made his debut as Detective Stabler in the Law & Order spinoff, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, in September 1999.
But back to his family: Meloni met Williams, a production designer, in 1989 when they were both working on the same TV show. However, it wasn’t until two years later that Meloni and Williams, who had a boyfriend at the time they met, started dating. The couple married in Malibu in 1995 after four years of dating. Then came babies: Meloni and Williams welcomed two children, a girl and a boy, in 2001 and 2004.
Dante Amadeo Dante is Meloni an Williams’ youngest child and only son. In a 2014 interview with Advocate, Meloni opened up about why he’s raising his kids in an LGBTQ-inclusive household. In response to parents who claim that it’s “confusing” to talk to their kids about same-sex relationships, Meloni responded, “My son is 10 years old, and he gets it.” Meloni then discussed talking to his son about NFL player Michael Sam, who came out before he was drafted. “My son plays football,” he said.
