Giddish and her first husband, Faulborn, welcomed their son, Ludo Faulborn, on Oct. 5, 2015.

Although Ice-T was joking about the infant’s involvement in their hit show, Ludo actually did end up working with his mom onSVU. Giddish’s son played her on-screen daughter onSVU —something she first discussed with her mom and husband.

“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 onLaw & Order.’ I was like, ‘Yeah as a girl,’ ” she recalled toE! Newsin 2016.

Giddish continued, “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.’ "

Her eldest, who Giddish has referred to as “my little ginger” onInstagram, is quite adventurous. In 2017, Ludo went paddleboarding for the first time with his mom. Sharing apicture from the outing, Giddish wrote, “1st time paddleboarder @rinconpaddleboards #welovefloaties #mylittleginger.”

“My husband and I welcomed Oldie Richards on June 20th and we are so in love and so very grateful,” Giddish wrote. “Oldie- you’ve brought immeasurable JOY to me and your daddy and your two brothers (and your grandparents and aunts and uncles!).”

She continued, “You wake up smiling and the light you bring to each moment is truly incredible.”

“This first trip around the sun with you O has been nothing but magic! you bring smiles for all and I love every little bit of you!!! happy bday son… O’s saying thank you cake gods aka @kelligiddish for making this delicious cake!!!” Richards captioned the post.

The proud dad has shared many precious videos of his son, including one of himpushing a basket at a marketin a Giants jersey and another ofOldie dancing with a remote. Under the latter, Richards penned, “This is what happens when you ask o for the clicker… #dance.”
