Who is NCIS LA actress Daniela Ruah married to?
Actress Daniela Ruah isn’t actually in a relationship with Deeks star Eric Christian Olsen, although fans do love their onscreen chemistry.
However, she is married to her co-star’s older brother and NCIS Los Angeles stunt double David Paul Olsen.
They went on their first date back in 2011 and got married a few years later in Portugal.
It is Eric who likes to take credit for their romance as he was behind the initial set up.
Talking on The Queen Latifah Show in 2014, Eric said they were both dating “awful” people who they weren’t able to be themselves with.
“When they got together, because he came on to do stunts, I would say something nice about her to him and then say something to him about her.
“That was enough to kinda get them started in conversation and it became this wonderful relationship.”
With a little help, the couple were able to have their happy ending and are now the proud parents of son River and daughter Sierra who are believed to be about 10 and seven respectively
When Ruah and Olsen got married, they had an interfaith ceremony to pay tribute to both of their religions.
She is of Portugese-Jewish ancestry on her dad’s side and Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian Jewish on her mother’s.
She told 18 Doors: “Our fathers married us. Dave’s father was ordained, and my father isn’t a rabbi but you just have to have a minyan, ten men, to make it valid.
“We got married under a chuppah and Dave broke the glass.
“We had the wine ceremony and drank out of the Kiddush cup. Dave’s father recited a beautiful homily.”
Ruah and David spend a lot of time with NCIS LA’s Eric and his wife Sarah Wright Olsen.
The latter couple also has children Wyatt and Esme who are of similar ages zzto their cousins.
The foursome often spend their time together, going on trips and celebrating special occasions together.
What brought the families even closer were the shared experiences of pregnancy
Ruah and Sarah had due dates that were just a few weeks apart with their second children.
The sister-in-laws told ET how Eric had a lot of pressure from both his real-life and onscreen wives.
Sarah joked: “I think the person who has the most challenge from all of this is Eric, because he goes to work and he has to be with her and he comes home and he’s with me.”
