“Hello Summeeeer!” The actress shares proud moment with her two kids — and fans can’t get over how tall Sierra is!
Daniela Ruah, best known as the fierce and fearless Kensi Blye on NCIS: Los Angeles, just melted hearts on Instagram — and this time, it wasn’t from a high-stakes action scene, but a wholesome family milestone.
On June 10, Ruah shared a precious end-of-school-year photo of her two children, 10-year-old River Isaac and 7-year-old Sierra Esther, as they wrapped up 4th and 2nd grade, respectively.
📸 A Picture Worth a Thousand A+ Reports
The snapshot shows the siblings standing outside, facing each other with proud grins, each holding a chalkboard sign:
-
“Last Day of 4th Grade” for River
-
“Last Day of 2nd Grade” for Sierra
The moment captured the innocence of childhood and the joy of summer just around the corner.
🧡 Daniela’s Message: Full of Pride and Gratitude
In a heartfelt caption, Ruah beamed with pride:
“And that’s it… as of last week these kiddos are 5th and 3rd graders 🤩 they worked their butts off in every facet of their lives and I’m SO proud of them…”
She didn’t stop there — Daniela made sure to thank the real heroes behind the scenes: the teachers.
“To our amazing teachers, we love you so much and cannot thank you enough for the experiences you provide and for making these kiddos love school. You are so appreciated! HELLO SUMMEEEEEER!!!! 🌞”
🌟 Fan Reactions: Sweetness & Surprise
Fans were quick to flood the comments with praise, not just for the adorable siblings, but also for Ruah’s kind words toward educators — a rare but appreciated gesture.
But one thing stood out to everyone: Sierra’s height.
“Sierra is a mini you. And she’s really tall!”
“Dani!!!! Omg. They are so big. Sierra is so tall!!! Beautiful!!!”
“Congratulations… boy, they are getting so tall. Beautiful ❤️❤️”
One fan perfectly summed it up:
“Just like that, here comes summer.”
👨👩👧👦 Meet the Family
Daniela shares River and Sierra with her husband David Paul Olsen, stuntman and occasional NCIS: LA guest star (and real-life brother of Eric Christian Olsen, who played Deeks).
Despite their Hollywood connections, Daniela keeps their family life grounded and real — a balance her fans deeply admire.
☀️ What’s Next for Ruah?
While she’s enjoying summer break with her kids, Daniela isn’t stepping away from the spotlight for long. She’s set to compete in a full triathlon later this year with fellow NCIS: LA castmates — all to raise money for the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
And who knows? With NCIS: Hawai’i still on the radar, maybe we’ll see Kensi return for a surprise guest appearance.
