Eric Christian Olsen Shares Sweet Family Moments Ahead of New Baby’s Arrival

Eric Christian Olsen celebrated his 48th birthday on May 31 surrounded by love, laughter—and big changes on the horizon. As the NCIS: Los Angeles alum marked another year around the sun, his wife, actress Sarah Wright, was also marking 39 weeks of pregnancy with their fourth child.

The longtime couple—who met in 2006 on the set of Fox’s sitcom The Loop, got engaged in 2011 during a getaway to Mexico, and married in 2012 in scenic Jackson Hole, Wyoming—already share three children: son Wyatt, 11, and daughters Esme Olivia, 8, and Winter Story, 4.

To honor Eric’s special day, Sarah took to Instagram with a touching tribute, posting a collection of heartwarming family photos and a video of the couple slow dancing as their kids looked on with pure joy. The post included sweet throwbacks of Eric with his “mini-me” children over the years and glimpses into their early married life.

Beyond the birthday and baby news, Eric has also opened up about recent family hardships. During the Critics Choice Awards, he reflected on the emotional toll of personal loss and the deep support he’s received.

He also credited his brother, sister-in-law Daniela Ruah (his NCIS: LA co-star), and their children for welcoming “six extra adults, five kids, [and] three dogs” into their home following a difficult time, doing so “with such effortless grace.”

From joyful family milestones to powerful moments of resilience, Eric Christian Olsen’s 48th birthday was more than just a celebration—it was a heartfelt reminder of the strength of family, love, and the beauty of new beginnings.
