This will make you love Deeks even more — if that’s even possible.
On NCIS: Los Angeles, Eric Christian Olsen’s character Marty Deeks is beloved for his humor, charm, and unshakable devotion to Kensi Blye (played by his real-life sister-in-law, Daniela Ruah). But off-screen, Eric brings that same warmth and wit into his marriage with actress Sarah Wright Olsen — and together, they might just be one of Hollywood’s sweetest couples.
The pair, who first met in 2006 on the set of the Fox sitcom The Loop, have been making fans smile ever since. They dated for five years before getting engaged in Mexico in 2011, then tied the knot a year later in a beautiful ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Their playful chemistry extends far beyond the screen. Whether they’re cracking jokes on talk shows or teasing each other online, Eric and Sarah always keep things lighthearted. When Sarah congratulated Eric on signing a production deal with CBS, she couldn’t resist poking fun, writing:
“So this is where you’ve been? I was convinced you took up pottery or were chasing your bowling league dreams.”
The couple once appeared together on The Steve Harvey Show, where they hilariously disagreed about their son Wyatt’s first words — Eric swore it was “Da Da,” while Sarah argued it was “Duck Duck.”
But behind all the laughter is deep admiration and love. After welcoming their daughter Esmé in 2016, Eric shared a heartfelt tribute to Sarah on Instagram:
“I am in awe of this woman — navigating the most difficult moments with equal parts passion, fearlessness, and all-encompassing love. I suspect she may be magic.”
Their lives have only grown fuller since. Eric, now a veteran of NCIS: LA, has expanded into producing with several projects for CBS and Hulu, while Sarah — who’s appeared in Parks and Recreation and American Made — launched Bāeo Baby, a line of organic skincare products.
Even with their busy schedules, family remains at the heart of everything they do. As Sarah once wrote to her husband:
“I am completely in awe of what you do, how you do it, and how you make so much time for us it never feels like you’re away.”
Between their careers, humor, and devotion to one another, Eric and Sarah prove that true love in Hollywood can be as real — and heartwarming — as anything on NCIS: LA.
