With NCIS: Los Angeles now behind her, Daniela Ruah is embracing a slower, more personal chapter — and giving fans a rare glimpse into her life as a mom. The actress marked Mother’s Day with an intimate Instagram post featuring her two children, River Isaac, 10, and Sierra Esther, 6, curled up asleep in her arms on a cozy couch.
The photo was accompanied by a simple yet powerful caption: “Mothering,” followed by the same sentiment in Portuguese, “Ser mãe…,” a nod to her roots. Fans quickly filled the comments with messages of love, praising the tender moment and Ruah’s devotion to her family.
Known for keeping her private life largely out of the spotlight, the post felt especially meaningful. Ruah also shared a sunny poolside family photo with her mother and children, along with a playful snap of the family dog.
After the show’s 14-season run came to an end, Ruah appears content focusing on what matters most — family, quiet moments, and the joy of motherhood as she steps confidently into her next chapter.
