The popular procedural drama NCIS introduced enduring characters Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, portrayed by Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo. Their on-screen chemistry sparked speculation about a potential real-life romance. DiNozzo, making his debut in 2003, became a staple with his sarcastic charm, while Ziva, an Israeli Mossad officer turned NCIS agent played by de Pablo, joined in 2005 and departed in 2013.
Despite the undeniable on-screen chemistry, off-screen, Weatherly and de Pablo never pursued a romantic relationship. They developed a strong friendship but were both involved in separate relationships. Weatherly praised de Pablo’s performance, and although fans hoped for a real-life romance, it never materialized.
