Christopher Meloni's Beautiful Older Sister Has His Piercing Blue Eyes (VIDEO)
The Meloni genes are strong!
Elliot Stabler's (Christopher Meloni) smolder is a Law & Order universe staple. We first saw his steely demeanor in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Now, he's mostly on Law & Order: Organized Crime, which returns for its fifth season exclusively on Peacock very soon. (More on that below!)
What makes Stabler's stares particularly effective is the color of his eyes. Christopher has piercing blue eyes — a trait he inherited from his mother. And it turns out he's not the only person in his family who got it. Christopher's older sister, Michele, made a rare appearance in a video for Ancestry tracing back their family's roots. That's where we learned the Meloni genes run strong, as Michele also has a pair of stunning blue eyes.
See for yourself in the video, below. Michele first appears around the 11-second mark, but she's featured throughout this five-minute video.

“Season 5 explores the dangerous worlds of cross-border smuggling, high-tech domestic terrorism and a crime family intent on repaying Stabler for the injury he did them in Rome,” an official synopsis of the show reads. “As his worlds collide, Stabler will put everything on the line to protect the vulnerable and fight for justice."
What else will the season have in store? You'll have to watch to find out — but if Mariska Hargitay has her way, Stabler and her SVU character Olivia Benson will have some screen time together.
"I'm actually planning on it," Hargitay told Variety in May 2024. "I just told [Meloni] the other day. We had a party the other night, we saw each other. It was heavenly. I met his showrunner. They want us together, and Chris and I were talking about it, and it's time. It's time now for us. This was a long time not being in each other's universe...We're excited to get back in there, get back in the ring."
