Daniela Ruah recently marked her mother’s birthday with a heartwarming celebration, sharing a delightful photo on Instagram. The mother-daughter duo captured a charming selfie in front of a picturesque pier. Daniela donned a rust-colored shirt paired with a stylish color-blocked cardigan, while her mother, Caterina, looked lovely in a forest green velour top adorned with a matching sunhat.
Caterina expressed her gratitude with a heartfelt reply, saying, “Many thanks! I love you to infinity and beyond.” Fans flooded the comments with the Spanish adjective “linda,” meaning “beautiful,” to describe Caterina.
In a rare glimpse into her private life, Daniela recently embarked on a trip to Portugal with her husband, David Paul Olsen, brother of her NCIS co-star Eric Christian Olsen. The family explored beautiful beaches, centuries-old districts, and even took a culinary class to master the art of making Pastéis de Nata (custard tarts), a traditional Portuguese dessert. Daniela shared a video montage of their memorable experiences and expressed her deep fondness for Portugal upon their return.
Additionally, Daniela and her NCIS co-stars have actively joined the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike, advocating for fair pay and improved treatment in the entertainment industry. Brian Dietzen, known for his role as Jimmy Palmer, also voiced his support for the strike, emphasizing the importance of union protections, especially in securing vital residual payments for medical coverage. Brian expressed his love for his colleagues and his pride in standing united during the strike, eagerly anticipating their return to the stage once a fair agreement is reached.
