NCIS: L.A.'s dream duo is "Kensi" (Daniela Ruah) and "Deeks" (Eric Christian Olsen). Ruah and Olsen not only play partners in the crime series, but also a couple. The two agents had been engaged since season 8 of the show before taking their relationship to the next level.
In season 10, "Kensi" and "Deeks" said their vows during a romantic wedding sequences. As it turns out, the two stars who play them have something in common with their private lives— they are also connected to one another through marriage, but in a different way!
"Kensi" married "Deeks's" real-life brother
"Deeks" isn't his NCIS co-star's real-life partner. Instead, Daniela Ruah married Eric Christian Olsen's brother, David Paul Olsen, in June 2014. The wedding took place in Portugal, and since then, the actors who play "Kensi" and "Deeks" have been related by marriage.
Ruah and Olsen have two children together. Their son River was born in December 2013, and their daughter Sierra followed in September 2016. As the actor who plays "Deeks" confessed on The Queen Latifah Show, he actually helped their relationship get started.
"I would say something nice about her to him and then say something to him about her, and they’re both like 'Really? Really? Really?,'" Eric Christian Olsen said. "And that was enough to kinda get them started in conversation, and it became this wonderful relationship."
David Paul Olsen also works for NCIS: L.A. as the stunt double for his brother's character. Because of this, "Kensi" has in a way married "Deeks" in real life! Eric Christian Olsen is also happily taken. He has been married to Sarah Wright since 2012, and the couple have three children together.
