Daniela Ruah recently marked her mother’s birthday with a heartwarming celebration, sharing a delightful photo on Instagram. The snapshot captured the mother-daughter pair taking a selfie in front of a picturesque pier. Daniela donned a rust-colored shirt and a stylish color-blocked cardigan, while her mother, Caterina, opted for a forest green velour top complemented by a matching sunhat.
Caterina expressed her gratitude with a heartfelt reply, stating, “Many thanks! I love you to infinity and beyond.” Fans showered the comments section with the Spanish adjective “linda,” meaning “beautiful,” to describe Caterina.
Known for keeping her personal life private, Daniela recently embarked on a trip to Portugal with her husband, David Paul Olsen, 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 (custard tarts), a traditional Portuguese dessert. Daniela shared a video montage of their unforgettable experiences and expressed her deep affection for Portugal upon their return.
In addition to her personal pursuits, Daniela, along with her fellow NCIS stars, actively engaged in the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike. They participated in picket lines, advocating for fair pay and improved treatment within the entertainment industry.
Brian Dietzen, known for his role as Jimmy Palmer in the NCIS franchise, also voiced his support for the strike. He underscored the significance of union protections, particularly in securing residual payments crucial for medical coverage. Brian conveyed his love for his colleagues and expressed pride in standing united with them during the strike, emphasizing their eagerness to return to the stage once a fair agreement is reached.
