Known for her privacy, Daniela recently enjoyed a trip to Portugal with her husband, David Paul Olsen, brother of her NCIS co-star Eric Christian Olsen.

Daniela shared a montage of their unforgettable experiences, expressing her deep connection to Portugal upon their return.
In addition to her personal endeavors, Daniela and her NCIS colleagues have been actively involved in the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike, advocating for fair pay and better treatment in the industry. Alongside her fellow actors, Daniela has joined picket lines, showing solidarity for union protections. Brian Dietzen, known for his role as Jimmy Palmer, echoed his support for the strike, emphasizing the importance of union benefits like residual payments, crucial for medical coverage for him and his wife. Brian expressed his admiration for his colleagues and their united stance during the strike, underscoring their eagerness to return to work once a fair agreement is reached.
