Kelli Giddish’s infant son played the part of her onscreen child in “Law & Order: SUV.” While chatting with E! News in 2016, Giddish revealed that her first-born son, Ludo, was going to be portraying her daughter in the fan-favorite series. This came after Giddish’s real-life pregnancy was incorporated into her character’s storyline as the first-ever pregnancy depicted on “Law & Order: SUV.” Giddish said that having her son with her on set was a “pure joy” and “really comforting” for her, though she was initially hesitant to allow him to take on the role.

“I was like, ‘Am I pimping my child out?’ And they were like, ‘No! That will be such a cool thing when he gets older, he’ll have been on ‘Law & Order.’ I was like, ‘Yeah as a girl,'” Giddish said. “I’m sure he’s going to love that when he gets old enough to realize. He’s going to be like, ‘Oh, thanks for the pink bow on national television, Mom.'” In December 2022, Giddish talked to People about her departure from “Law & Order: SUV,” which came after 12 seasons on the show. Giddish stated that her life has been “busier now than when I was shooting.” In recent years, Giddish has expanded her family unit.
