Life has a way of delivering heartbreak and joy in equal measure. Just months after losing their beloved home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, NCIS: Los Angeles alum Eric Christian Olsen and actress-entrepreneur Sarah Wright Olsen are celebrating a miracle: the arrival of their fourth child.
✨ “She’s here!! Ocean Rain Olsen, born 6/17 at 12:37am — 11 pounds, 4 ounces.”

Their daughter’s name — Ocean Rain — feels poetic, cleansing, even prophetic. A symbol of renewal after unimaginable loss.
🌊 A Name That Speaks Volumes
Born under a moonlit sky, Ocean is already making waves. “Grateful beyond words,” Sarah wrote in her post, sharing heartfelt thanks to the birthing team and their close friend, Nikki Reed, who stayed through the night and captured the emotional birth in stunning photos.
The post quickly filled with support from celebrity friends:
-
“Amazing!!! So happy for you. ❤️” — Krysten Ritter
-
“Congratulations @swrightolsen @ericcolsen ❤️😍🥰” — Rose McIver
-
“Ommmmgggg” — Riley Keough
-
“Sweet Ocean, I love you so much already ❤️” — Nikki Reed
🏡 A Family Uprooted — But Not Broken
The joyous news follows a harrowing start to 2025. In January, the Olsens lost their family home of 13 years — the place where, as Sarah heartbreakingly shared, “our kids all took their first steps.”
🕊️ “It’s impossible to put into words these last few days. We lost our home… but we are together and safe. We are surrounded by love.”
In a raw and moving post, she thanked “Uncle Dave and Aunt Dani” — known to fans as David Paul Olsen (Eric’s stunt double) and his wife Daniela Ruah, Eric’s co-star and real-life sister-in-law.
👨👩👧👦 Meet the Olsen Family
With the arrival of baby Ocean, the Olsens’ lively household now includes:
-
Wyatt, 11
-
Esme, 8
-
Winter, 4

And now… Ocean Rain, newborn 🌙
Married since 2012, Eric and Sarah have built not only a home but a legacy of love and resilience — balancing Hollywood careers, parenthood, and loss with inspiring grace.
🕵️♂️ From NCIS to New Chapters
Best known as Marty Deeks on NCIS: Los Angeles, Eric Christian Olsen appeared in all 14 seasons of the fan-favorite procedural. It was there he met Daniela Ruah (Kensi Blye) — now a sister-in-law by marriage and family by heart.
Their bond off-screen became even stronger during the fires, with Ruah and David stepping in to house the displaced family.
🌱 A New Beginning
The name Ocean Rain couldn’t be more fitting — a reminder of nature’s dual power to destroy and to renew.
“It’s what keeps making us tear up,” Sarah wrote. “The outpouring of love… it means so much to us.”
From ashes to birth, the Olsens’ story reminds us: family is home, no matter where you are.
