Who Is David Paul Olsen?
David Paul Olsen was born on the 2nd of January 1976 in Moline, Illinois USA, to Paul (father) and Jeanne Olsen (mother). His father was a professor in English and a country coach, while his mother was a non-denominational chaplain.
David Paul Olsen is not the only child born to his parents; he has a younger brother named Eric Christian Olsen who is a renowned Hollywood actor. His parents moved the family to Eugene, Oregon, after the birth of his younger brother, and after a while, they moved again to Bettendorf, Iowa, where they finally settled.
David and his brother may not have been born into a very wealthy home, but their parents had what it took to see them through school. We know that David and his younger brother attended Bettendorf middle and high School, however, there is no information about their higher education and where they had their college education.
David Paul Olsen and Daniela Ruah Met On The Production Set Of NCIS: Los Angeles
In 2010, David Paul Olsen joined the production of NCIS: Los Angeles as a stunt double and stunt performer. His brother, Eric Christian, was already a main cast in the series where he plays the role of Marty Meeks. Daniela Ruah, David’s wife, is also part of the cast, and plays the role of Kensi Blye, the love interest of Marty Meeks.
When David joined the cast of NCIS: Los Angeles, he was in a relationship with someone else, but his brother, Eric, saw the need to link David up with his on screen love, Daniela Ruah (Kensi Blye).
During The Queen Latifah Show in 2014, Eric mentioned that he fed his brother nice things about Daniela and somehow Daniela and David were able to kick start a conversation.
Daniela Ruah and David Paul Olsen Started Dating On 2011
By February 2011, David and Daniela went on their first date. That was a dream come through for Eric who really wanted them to be together. After dating for about three years, they decided it was time to tie the knot. They got married on the 19th of June 2014, in Portugal. Since David is Lutheran and Daniela is Jewish, they had an interfaith wedding.
Their Union Is Blessed With Two Children
Eric Olsen’s plan to make David and Daniela date has not only worked, it has worked perfectly and has brought two amazing children into the world. Before David and Daniela got married in 2014, they were already parents to River Isaac Ruah Olsen, their son who was born on the 13th of December 2013.
About two years after their wedding in 2014, they welcomed their second child, a daughter, Sierra Esther Ruah Olsen who was born in September 2016.
Since David and Daniela got married, they have never made news for a negative reason, rather they have been serving couple goals to their fans. From time to time, the couple and their children spend time on a vacation at Portugal. It is noteworthy to add that David Paul Olsen and Danielle Ruah share a very cordial relationship with his brother, Eric Christian Olsen and his wife, Sarah Wright.
