Eric Christian Olsen rang in his 48th birthday on May 31 surrounded by love, laughter, and exciting changes on the horizon. The NCIS: Los Angeles alum celebrated alongside his wife, actress Sarah Wright, who was 39 weeks pregnant with their fourth child.
The couple’s story began in 2006 on the set of Fox’s sitcom The Loop. They got engaged during a romantic getaway to Mexico in 2011 and tied the knot in 2012 in picturesque Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Together, they are already parents to three children: son Wyatt, 11, and daughters Esme Olivia, 8, and Winter Story, 4.
To mark Eric’s special day, Sarah shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute, posting a series of family photos and a video of the couple slow dancing while their kids watched with pure delight. The post also included throwbacks showing Eric with his “mini-me” children over the years and glimpses into their early married life.
Amid the celebrations, Eric reflected on recent personal challenges. During the Critics Choice Awards, he spoke candidly about the emotional toll of loss and the unwavering support of his family. He also praised his sister-in-law Daniela Ruah, his brother, and their children for welcoming “six extra adults, five kids, [and] three dogs” into their home during a difficult time, doing so “with such effortless grace.”
From joyful milestones to moments of resilience, Eric Christian Olsen’s 48th birthday was more than a celebration—it was a testament to the enduring power of family, love, and new beginnings.
