Daniela Ruah recently commemorated her mother’s birthday with a touching Instagram post, sharing a snapshot of their bond against the backdrop of a pier. In the photo, Daniela sported a rust-colored shirt paired with a color-blocked cardigan, while her mother, Caterina, donned a forest green velour top complemented by a matching sunhat.
Expressing her gratitude, Caterina replied with a heartfelt message, saying, “Many thanks! I love you to infinity and beyond.” Fans flooded the comments section with the Spanish adjective “linda,” meaning “beautiful,” to describe Caterina.
Despite leading a private personal life, Daniela recently embarked on a trip to Portugal with her husband, David Paul Olsen, who happens to be the brother of her NCIS co-star Eric Christian Olsen. Their family adventure included exploration of beautiful beaches, centuries-old districts, and even a culinary class to master the art of making Pastéis de Nata, a traditional Portuguese dessert. Daniela later shared a video montage capturing their cherished moments and expressed her deep affection for Portugal upon their return.
In addition to her personal endeavors, Daniela and her NCIS colleagues have been actively engaged in the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike, advocating for fair pay and better treatment within the entertainment industry. Alongside them, Brian Dietzen, known for his role as Jimmy Palmer in the NCIS franchise, voiced his support for the strike. He underscored the significance of union protections, particularly in securing residual payments crucial for his and his wife’s medical coverage. Brian conveyed his love for his fellow actors and the pride he feels in standing united with them during the strike, emphasizing their eagerness to return to the stage once a fair agreement is reached.
