Daniela Ruah recently marked her mother’s birthday with a heartwarming celebration, sharing a delightful snapshot on Instagram. In the photo, the mother-daughter duo posed against a picturesque pier backdrop. Daniela wore a rust-colored shirt paired with a color-blocked cardigan, while her mother, Caterina, sported a forest green velour top and matching sunhat.
Expressing her gratitude, Caterina responded with a touching message: “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 her private personal life, Daniela recently ventured to Portugal with her husband, David Paul Olsen, brother of her NCIS co-star Eric Christian Olsen. During their family excursion, they explored stunning beaches, centuries-old districts, and even attended a culinary class to master the art of making Pastéis de Nata (custard tarts), one of Portugal’s traditional desserts. Upon their return, Daniela shared a captivating video montage of their cherished experiences and expressed her deep affection for Portugal.
In addition to her personal adventures, Daniela and her fellow NCIS stars have actively engaged in the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike, advocating for fair pay and better treatment in the entertainment industry. Brian Dietzen, renowned for his role as Jimmy Palmer in the NCIS franchise, also voiced his support for the strike, emphasizing the crucial role of union protections. Brian underscored the significance of securing residual payments, essential for providing medical coverage for himself and his wife. He expressed love for his colleagues and conveyed pride in standing in solidarity with them during the strike, reaffirming their eagerness to return to the stage once a fair agreement is reached.
