Emily Wickersham is set to become a mother of two! The NCIS star recently took to Instagram to share her exciting news, posting a series of photos that show off her growing baby bump and playfully announcing she’s “waving down a Taxi for two.” Wickersham, who welcomed a baby boy in 2021 with partner James Badge Dale, appears to be well into her pregnancy, suggesting that Baby Dale could arrive before the year ends. She hasn’t disclosed a due date yet.
Wickersham, known for her role as Special Agent Eleanor “Ellie” Bishop on NCIS from Seasons 11-18, occasionally shares glimpses of her family life on Instagram. Her latest post features her son riding a bike while she skates alongside him, captioned with “childhood simple magic coming full circle.” It’s clear that more childhood magic is on the way for Wickersham with her new addition.
Previously married to musician Blake Hanley, Wickersham divorced in 2018 after eight years of marriage. She and Dale publicly confirmed their relationship in June 2021, when Wickersham posted a selfie of the couple at a bar. Although they initially described their relationship as “friendly,” it’s clear there’s been something more significant brewing.
Wickersham’s pregnancy might delay her much-anticipated return to NCIS. There were rumors in 2023 about her potential comeback as Ellie Bishop after she dyed her hair blonde, but nothing has materialized yet. With Tony and Ziva getting their own spinoff, anything is possible, but for now, Wickersham seems focused on her growing family.
No additional details on the baby’s gender or due date have been shared, but Wickersham’s happiness is evident, and that’s what truly matters.
