The sparks didn\u2019t fly right away. In fact, when Daniela first met David, both were in relationships that left them less than happy. Eric saw it instantly. \u201cThey weren\u2019t themselves,\u201d he recalled during a 2014 appearance on\u00a0The Queen Latifah Show<\/em>. Knowing his brother\u2019s adventurous spirit and Daniela\u2019s warm, magnetic personality, Eric decided to step in.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d drop little compliments about her to him, and then about him to her,\u201d Eric admitted with a grin. \u201cThat was enough to get them curious\u2014and talking.\u201d It worked better than he could have imagined.<\/p>\n As David began appearing regularly on set for stunt work, the pair\u2019s professional paths crossed more and more often. What started as casual conversations between takes turned into something deeper\u2014a connection rooted in shared values, easy laughter, and a spark neither could ignore.<\/p>\n By early 2014, the couple\u2019s relationship had quietly blossomed. That January, they welcomed their first child, a son named River Isaac. Speaking to\u00a0People<\/em>, Ruah described the overwhelming rush of love she felt. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how in love you can be with this little person you\u2019ve only seen on a black and white screen,\u201d she said, reflecting on her pregnancy.<\/p>\n Eric couldn\u2019t resist weighing in either, telling the world that \u201ctwo of my favorite people just had a third.\u201d It was a family moment not only for the Olsens, but for the entire NCIS: LA cast and crew, who had watched the romance unfold behind the scenes.<\/p>\n In June 2014, just months after River\u2019s birth, Daniela and David exchanged vows in a ceremony that was both intimate and culturally rich. \u201cJust lived the best week of my life; I married my best friend,\u201d Daniela tweeted shortly afterward.<\/p>\n The wedding honored both of their faiths\u2014Daniela is Jewish and David is Lutheran\u2014blending traditions seamlessly. Under a chuppah, the couple shared a Kiddush wine ceremony, broke the traditional glass, and celebrated with blessings led by both of their fathers. David\u2019s father, ordained as a minister, and Daniela\u2019s father, who guided the Jewish customs, stood together to marry them. It was a moment that beautifully symbolized the joining of their worlds.<\/p>\n Two years later, the couple\u2019s love story reached another milestone. In September 2016, Daniela gave birth to their daughter, Sierra Esther\u2014three weeks ahead of schedule. With her trademark wit, she announced the news on Instagram: \u201cApparently, she thought Labor Day weekend meant LABOR day weekend!\u201d<\/p>\n Between filming grueling action scenes and raising two young children, Daniela credits David\u2019s steadfast support and understanding of the industry as essential. As a fellow performer\u2014albeit behind the camera\u2014he knows the demands and unpredictability of Hollywood life.<\/p>\n What makes Daniela and David\u2019s romance so compelling isn\u2019t just that it began in the shadow of a major network TV show\u2014it\u2019s that it\u2019s endured through the chaos of it. They\u2019ve weathered long filming schedules, physical demands of stunt work, cross-country family visits, and the spotlight that comes with a hit show, all while keeping their relationship grounded and joyful.<\/p>\n For NCIS: LA fans, it\u2019s also a reminder that the family they see on screen often mirrors the bonds off-screen. Eric Christian Olsen didn\u2019t just give Kensi her partner in crime\u2014he gave his brother a partner for life.<\/p>\n Today, more than a decade since that first fateful meeting, Daniela and David continue to build a life filled with adventure, faith, and family. And while NCIS: Los Angeles may have wrapped its final season, the love story it sparked behind the scenes is still going strong\u2014proof that sometimes, the best scripts are the ones life writes itself.<\/p>\n As Ruah once put it, \u201cI married my best friend. We laugh, we argue, we grow together\u2014and at the end of the day, we know we\u2019re exactly where we\u2019re supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n And for fans, that\u2019s a romance worth cheering for, both on and off the screen.<\/p>\n
