Densi Forever: Eric Christian Olsen & Daniela Ruah Talk Love, Loyalty & What’s Next on NCIS: Los Angeles

They’ve survived shootouts, kidnappings, and even a mole hunt—but nothing’s rocked the hearts of NCIS: Los Angeles fans quite like the slow-burning, soul-deep love between Kensi Blye and Marty Deeks. Whether you’ve been shipping “Densi” from day one or just catching up on their whirlwind journey, there’s no denying their place in the pantheon of legendary TV couples.

In an exclusive sit-down, Eric Christian Olsen and Daniela Ruah pulled back the curtain on a decade of “Densi”—the laughs, the heartbreak, and what’s still to come. Spoiler alert: There’s plenty of love and even more growth on the horizon.


❤️ From Tactical Partners to Life Partners: The Evolution of Densi

“It was never going to be easy for them,” Ruah reflects. “They’re both incredibly guarded, stubborn, and damaged in their own ways—but that’s what made it so compelling.”

From undercover flirtations to real-world confessions, Kensi and Deeks’ chemistry built slowly and believably, a fact not lost on the fans or the actors themselves.

“When Deeks first joined, he was all jokes and charm,” Olsen says with a grin. “But underneath, he was broken. And Kensi saw that. And over time, he became her safe space—and she became his compass.”

Ruah agrees. “They had to grow individually before they could be together. That’s what made it real.”


💔 Surviving the Storms: Trauma, Trust & Tenacity

What makes Densi different from your average TV romance? They’ve faced real stakes.

  • Kensi’s kidnapping and injuries in Afghanistan

  • Deeks grappling with his abusive past

  • Long deployments, career changes, and a complicated road to marriage

Each challenge deepened their bond.

“Deeks was always the guy hiding pain behind a joke,” Olsen says. “But when Kensi was in danger, all of that fell away. That’s when you saw what she truly meant to him.”

For Ruah, playing Kensi’s vulnerability was a turning point. “She’s a warrior. But loving Deeks means learning to be soft sometimes. That contrast has been powerful.”


💣 Love on the Line: How Danger Defines Them

Being elite federal agents isn’t exactly conducive to candlelit dinners. Yet somehow, Densi thrives in the chaos.

“There’s something beautiful about watching two people cling to love in such a high-risk world,” Ruah says. “They’ve lost friends. They’ve nearly lost each other. And yet, they keep showing up—for the mission and for each other.”

Their love isn’t a distraction from their work. It’s what anchors them.


👶 What’s Next? Parenthood, Partnership & New Challenges

With marriage in the rearview and their careers still high-octane, what lies ahead for Densi?

“The conversation about starting a family is very real,” Ruah teases. “But it’s complicated. How do you raise a child when your job constantly puts your life on the line?”

Olsen adds, “Deeks has always wanted to be a dad. That dream hasn’t gone away. But balancing fatherhood with field work? That’s a whole new story arc.”

While nothing is confirmed, it’s clear that the writers aren’t done evolving Densi—and neither are the actors.

“There’s so much more to explore,” Ruah says. *“Not just as agents, but as people.”


💬 The Fans Behind the Fire

From fan art to trending hashtags, the Densi fandom has kept this couple front and center.

“We owe so much to the fans,” Olsen acknowledges. “They stuck with us through the slow burn, the tension, the setbacks. They’re the reason this love story resonated so deeply.”

Ruah nods. “They don’t just love Densi—they see them. As flawed, as brave, as real.”
