Beloved NCIS: Los Angeles alum Eric Christian Olsen marked his 48th birthday on May 31 with a deeply emotional and joy-filled day surrounded by his wife, actress Sarah Wright, and their three children—11-year-old Wyatt, 8-year-old Esme Olivia, and 4-year-old Winter Story.
Sarah commemorated the day with a touching Instagram post, sharing a joyful video of the family dancing together and several candid photos that captured their love and connection. The images featured sweet moments between Eric and the kids, radiating warmth, laughter, and a powerful sense of togetherness.
Eric also shared the video with his own heartfelt caption, reflecting on the meaning behind the smiles and laughter:
“Forever and ever and ever holding your hand, watching you with our babies, going on adventures and dancing in any living room as long as it’s with you,” Sarah, who is pregnant with their fourth child, which they revealed in February, posted. “Happy 48 to my dream guy.
This birthday celebration held even deeper meaning considering the challenges the family has faced over the past year. In January, Eric and Sarah revealed that their home in the Pacific Palisades had been destroyed in a devastating fire. Since then, the family has been living nomadically, supported by the kindness of loved ones and strangers alike.
Despite the hardships, the couple has remained resilient and grounded in gratitude. As Eric shared during that time, they were “perpetually blown away, eyes pooled, tears racing by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity of our friends, family and complete strangers.”
Now, just months later, their joyful birthday celebration serves as a beautiful reminder of the strength of family, the power of love, and the importance of cherishing life’s simplest, most meaningful moments.
