Though NCIS: Los Angeles may have wrapped up, the bonds formed on set continue to thrive in real life. Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen, who famously portrayed the couple Kensi Blye and Marty Deeks for 14 seasons, remain family in more ways than one—Ruah is married to Eric’s brother, David Paul Olsen.
As summer draws to a close, Ruah shared a heartwarming glimpse into her family’s summer vacation, which included plenty of time spent with the Olsen family. On Instagram, she posted a delightful compilation of moments from their trip, featuring both couples and their children, bringing fans along for the adventure.
The montage included playful shots of the brothers together, her children—River, 10, and Sierra, 7—enjoying a concert, and a lovely selfie with her sister-in-law, Sarah Wright, also an actress. The photos radiated joy and connection, showcasing the strong family ties that extend beyond the screen.
In her caption, Daniela wrote, “And a little compilation from the Olsens in Idaho…” Fans responded with enthusiasm, flooding the comments section with compliments and warm messages. Comments like, “Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us,” and “What beautiful pictures of you all having so much fun together in Idaho,” reflected the appreciation for the personal glimpse into their lives.
A Lasting Connection
Despite the conclusion of NCIS: LA in May 2023, Ruah has maintained her connection to the franchise. Recently, she directed episodes for both NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i, further solidifying her place in the ongoing legacy of the series.
Ruah and David Paul Olsen’s relationship blossomed in 2011, facilitated by her connection to Eric. In a past interview on The Queen Latifah Show, David humorously recounted how he helped spark their romance by mentioning nice things about Ruah to his brother, creating a charming conversation starter that led to their wonderful relationship.
Family Growth
The two couples now share a total of five children. Ruah and her husband welcomed their first child, River, shortly before their wedding in Portugal on June 19, 2014. Meanwhile, Eric and Sarah Wright, who met on the set of the Fox sitcom The Loop in 2006, got engaged during a vacation in Mexico in 2011 and married in 2012. They are parents to three children: Wyatt, 11, and daughters Esme Olivia, 8, and Winter Story, 4.
As the summer vacation came to an end, the shared moments and deep-rooted friendships serve as a reminder of the lasting impact NCIS: Los Angeles had on the lives of its cast, both on and off screen.
Conclusion
With strong familial ties and shared experiences, Ruah and Olsen exemplify how the bonds created in the entertainment industry can transcend their professional beginnings. As they continue to navigate their careers and family lives, fans look forward to seeing more of their adventures—whether on screen or shared through social media.
