NCIS: Los Angeles may have wrapped up its 14-season run, but the bond between co-stars Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen extends far beyond the screen. In real life, Daniela is married to Eric’s brother, David Paul Olsen, making the two families not just close-knit colleagues but actual family. Over the summer, Daniela gave fans a rare glimpse into her family life by sharing a heartwarming collection of photos from a vacation in Idaho, spent with Eric, his wife Sarah Wright, and their children.
In the Instagram post, Daniela, who played Kensi Blye on NCIS: LA, posted a compilation of precious moments, including her children, River (10) and Sierra (7), attending a concert, cozy selfies with her sister-in-law Sarah, and candid shots of both families enjoying the picturesque Idaho scenery. “And a little compilation from the Olsens in Idaho…” Daniela captioned the post, which quickly garnered adoring comments from her followers. Fans expressed their joy at seeing such personal, loving moments, with one commenting, “Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us,” and others admiring the beauty of their close family bond.
Though NCIS: LA may be over, Daniela has stayed closely connected to the NCIS universe. She recently directed episodes for both NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i, continuing her involvement in the franchise after its cancellation.
Daniela and David, who met through Eric, started dating in 2011 and married in 2014, shortly after welcoming their first child, River. Eric and Sarah, who met in 2006 on the set of The Loop, also share a tight family connection. They married in 2012 and have three children—Wyatt (11), Esme Olivia (8), and Winter Story (4). Together, the two families have five children, and despite their busy careers, they always find time to celebrate and create cherished memories together.
