Daniela Ruah Reflects on Life and Career as She Celebrates Her 41st Birthday
As the new year begins, Daniela Ruah is celebrating a milestone: her 41st birthday. The NCIS: Los Angeles alum shared a heartfelt Instagram post, marking her journey with an inspiring message and a beachside photo of herself jumping for joy.
“This is happy. This is fulfilled. This is still growing,” Daniela wrote, adding reflections on love, learning, and motherhood. “This is 41. Thank you for the beautiful messages I’ve received all day,” she concluded.
Fans and friends flooded her comments with birthday wishes, praising her talent and positivity. “Happy bday Dani Ruah!! Kensi Blye!!” one fan wrote, while another called her an “inspiration.”
Since saying goodbye to her iconic role as Kensi Blye in NCIS: LA, which ended after 14 seasons in May 2023, Daniela has stayed active. She’s directed episodes of NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i and appeared in the Portuguese mini-series A Espia (The Spy).
Married to David Paul Olsen since 2014—thanks to a setup by his brother and her NCIS: LA co-star Eric Christian Olsen—Daniela balances her career with family life, raising son River, 11, and daughter Sierra, 8.
As she enters 2024, fans eagerly await her next chapter, both onscreen and off.
