NCIS LA real-life romance: Who is Daniela Ruah married to? Marty Deeks connection revealed
NCIS LA came to an early end this year after the entertainment industry was forced to temporarily shut up shop due to the worldwide lockdown. This means season 11 of the CBS show wasn’t completed and instead had a makeshift finale. Thankfully though, the show has already been renewed for a 12th season so fans will get to see even more of the Los Angeles team.
Agent Kensi Blye (played by Daniela Ruah) was in NCIS LA right from the very beginning but it wasn’t until episode 19 of the first series did she meet her future husband Detective Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen).
He joined the team permanently and over time, Kensi and Deeks got closer and started dating.
Then in season 10, the pair made a commitment to one another and got married by Operations Manager Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt).
But it isn’t just on the show these two are close as they share a strong bond in real life too.
However, the pair are connected as actress Ruah is actually married to actor Olsen’s brother David Paul Olsen.
He works as a stunt double for the Marty Deeks actor on NCIS LA and it was actually Eric who introduced the pair of them.
After getting to know Ruah, Olsen realised she could be the perfect match for his brother.
Speaking on The Queen Latifah Show in 2014, Olsen said both of them were dating “awful” people so he decided to do a bit of matchmaking himself.
Olsen said: “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.”
They got married in Portugal in 2014 and now have two young children son River and daughter Sierra.
Eric is married to actress Sarah Wright Olsen and they also have two children together.
Ruah is often posting photographs of the two families spending time together on Instagram, cooking meals and going on trips with their kids.
So while Ruah and Eric have a romantic relationship on screen, they act very much like siblings when the camera isn’t on them.
Talking to TV Insider about when they first met, Ruah said: “The first words I ever said to him were, ‘Hey, so I hear
Deeks is supposed to be muscle-y and tan — what are you going to do about that?'”
She then said Eric fought back with: “‘I heard Kensi was supposed to be intelligent and pretty, so what’re you doing about that?”
But the pair are very much good friends in real life as Eric added: “I introduced her to my brother because they are wonderful human beings and I want them to be happy. It worked.
