Coming just behind "Law & Order: SVU," the
CBS procedural "NCIS" ranks as the second longest-running current American TV drama
as it approaches two decades on the air — with no signs of stopping. But some of its cast members' real-life relationships
have lasted even longer! Here's everything you need to know about the
love lives of your favorite "NCIS" stars. Sean Murray, the actor "NCIS" fans know best
as Timothy McGee, is married to his wife Carrie Murray, the founder of Business Relationship
Alliance — or BRA — which, according to her bio, is described as, "A network of powerful women devoted to advancing
female-owned businesses by providing the community, collaboration, mentorship, empowerment and
support needed to flourish as an entrepreneur." Carrie earned a bachelor's degree in social
work from San Francisco State University, with a focus on domestic violence, and she
went on to work as a court advocate before earning a masters' degree from Antioch University,
focusing on social justice. After becoming a teacher, an administrator,
and a principal at a Los Angeles public charter school, Carrie founded her own school, Prestique
Academy of Innovation and Technology, in 2011. And after she noticed that a few fellow "mompreneurs"
experienced many of the same struggles, Carrie started weekly networking meetings that ultimately
evolved into the Business Relationship Alliance. "This has actually been kind of a motif that's
reappeared, my daughter and my son, Caitlyn and River, in Hawaii at the beach." As noted by People, Sean and Carrie have two
children, River and Caitlyn. And the couple showed off their home, decked
out for Halloween, in a 2020 Apartment Therapy feature. Referencing Sean's role in the Disney film
"Hocus Pocus," Carrie quipped, "I married Thackery Binx — of course I decorate
for Halloween!" David McCallum — who plays Donald "Ducky"
Mallard on "NCIS" — married former model Katherine Carpenter, all the way back in 1967. The two have a son and a daughter, and by
2015, they also had eight grandchildren. McCallum spoke with the Los Angeles Times
and joked, "We have six boys in New York and two girls
here. I keep the boys and the girls on different
coasts so I can keep them straight." The actor was previously married to the late
British actress Jill Ireland, with whom he had two sons and a daughter. Ireland even joined McCallum on screen in
"The Man from UNCLE," playing three characters in the spy drama. Ireland went on to marry McCallum's "The Great
Escape" co-star Charles Bronson, but McCallum bears no ill will. He told the Daily Record in 2016, "I never hated him, Charlie was always a good
friend. I find that when problems come along, worrying
about them and getting anxious and negative is quite unnecessary. You can solve them, usually amicably. That's what happened." Brian Dietzen, who has played Jimmy Palmer
on "NCIS" since 2004, is married to Kelly, who is a midwife. They tied the knot in the early 2000s and
have a son and a daughter together. Dietzen raved about their shared marital bliss
as he remarked on his peers' ambivalence to marrying in their 30s, telling the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch, "A lot of my friends are in that place. I'm one of the few who's married, but I can
tell them: It's awesome." The actor waxed romantic over his wife in
an April 2021 Instagram post, writing, "First hiatus hike was in Big Bear with the
best person I know. Here's to many, many more. Love you Kel." Dietzen often gives fans glimpses into his
family life via Twitter, too. He posted in March 2021, "GRAMMYs fun fact: When Cardi B performs 'WAP,'
it's even more entertaining to watch your teenage kids squirm. Loving it. Dad Win." "What's one thing you're most proud of?" "My kids." Mark Harmon, who plays Leroy Jethro Gibbs
on "NCIS," married "Mork & Mindy" star Pam Dawber in 1987, and they've been together
ever since. Harmon told People in 2019, "We were both in our thirties when we got
married, so hopefully [we did] the stupid stuff […] earlier. That's probably the closest I have to what
the key [to success] is." Dawber, who also starred on the 1980s sitcom
"My Sister Sam," stepped out of the spotlight after tying the knot with Harmon, telling
Entertainment Tonight in 2016, "I don't think two people can work all the
time in show business and stay married. I did everything you can do in this business,
and then I had children and it's like, 'I'm not going to chase this fame thing.'" "If I gain strength from anyone or anything,
it's my family." Harmon and Dawber have two sons together,
Sean and Ty, the former of whom has played young Gibbs on "NCIS." It appears that the CBS drama really is a
family business; Dawber guest-starred in Season 18 as investigative journalist Marcie Warren. But despite the chemistry the two share, Dawber
assured Entertainment Weekly ahead of time that her scenes with her husband were, quote,
"not going to be romantic." Michael Weatherly, who starred as Anthony
DiNozzo on "NCIS" from 2003 to 2016, married Bojana Jankovic in 2009. Jankovic is a physician specializing in integrative
and internal medicine, and before starting her own practice, she was a primary care physician
at Cedars-Sinai Medical Group and a co-founder of the therapeutics startup WellStart Health. The couple welcomed daughter Olivia in 2012
and son Liam the following year. But long before starting a family, Weatherly
was previously engaged to his "Dark Angel" costar Jessica Alba. The actress told Cosmo of their split in 2005, "It just didn't work out. I was so young, 18, when I started dating
him. I was a virgin. I knew I wanted to be in love with the first
person I slept with. […] I wanted to be really careful that he
was going to be in love with me and wasn't just going to leave me. It's really, really, really difficult to have
the same occupation as the person you're with — especially when you're both actors." Luckily, when it comes to their own families,
things seem to have worked out well for both Alba and Weatherly. Rocky Carroll, who joined "NCIS" as Leon Vance
midway through Season 5, has been married to Gabrielle Bullock for 25 years. Together, they have a daughter named Elissa. Bullock is an architect and the head of global
diversity in Los Angeles for the architecture and design firm Perkins+ Will. She told the outlet, "I'm an architect, so I lead projects 50%
of my time. The other 50% of the time I'm the firm's director
of global diversity. I lead the strategy, monitor it, lead the
diversity council that we have and try to build a more inclusive culture for the firm." "I'm one of 500 African American female architects
in this country. I always wanted to be an architect to help
my community." The New York City native graduated from the
Rhode Island School of Design in 1984. At the time, she was the school's second female
African-American graduate. Bullock is also the vice president of the
Southern California chapter of the International Interior Design Association, according to
the organization's website. Despite her success, though, she told the
Times with a laugh, "Google me and you get Rocky Carroll." On New Year's Day 2020, Wilmer Valderrama
— who plays Nick Torres on "NCIS" — proposed to his now-fiancée, model Amanda Pacheco,
in San Diego, California. Just over a year later, he and Pacheco announced
the birth of their daughter, Nakano. He posted on Instagram in February 2021, "Life is an ever evolving journey, and for
all those times when our path needs a light...often angels are sent to show us the way and that
we can be more. Straight out of heaven we welcome our first
daughter." Notably, the actor had previously dated singer
Demi Lovato from 2010 to 2016, and the pop star sent her congratulations on his engagement
in 2020, telling Harper's Bazaar, "I'm really happy for him and I wish him nothing
but the best." Maria Bello, who played Jack Sloane for a
few seasons before her exit from "NCIS" in 2021, got engaged to 3 Michelin star chef
Dominique Crenn in 2019. "Well, we've just become engaged." Crenn explained the couple's origin story,
saying the actress reached out to her via Instagram DM to ask for a reservation at Crenn's
restaurant. Crenn said, "I didn't really know who Maria was, but I'm
French, so I don't really follow American actresses. I'm like, 'Who is Maria Bello?'" Nevertheless, Crenn granted a reservation
to Bello — who has a son with her ex-boyfriend Dan McDermott — and the duo remained friends
for a year before they took their relationship to the next level. When Bello finally told Crenn she was in love
with her, the chef disclosed to Bello that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Crenn recalled to the outlet, "She was like, 'I'm really fun around sick
people.' And I'm telling you, she kept her word. It's one of the most beautiful love stories. I couldn't even write this for [a] movie;
it's so much better." The actress behind "NCIS" character Kasie
Hines, Diona Reasonover is married to actress and writer Patricia Villetto. After she was promoted to series regular on
the show, she told the New York Post in 2018, "I don't know why it didn't occur to me that
I'd be in the opening credits, so I freaked out so much. [Patricia and I] were both like, 'What?!' Now she won't let me talk during 'NCIS.' I try to tell her funny stories, like, 'Oh,
you know what's funny about this scene?' And she's like […] 'Don't talk to me; I'm
watching my show.'" Villetto's Second City bio reveals that she
graduated from the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland — where she studied, quote,
"acting, playwriting and art of Irish bulls---ing" — while her Instagram bio touts that she's
also a, quote, "writer, director, actor, improviser, comic, waitress and Dolly Parton lover." According to her IMDb profile, Villetto has
written for projects like "Swamp Talk with Shrek & Donkey," "Kung Fu Panda," "So Shook,"
"Mega Man: Fully Charged," "Ben 10," and "Tigtone." Joe Spano, who has played T.C. Fornell in more than 50 episodes of "NCIS"
so far, is married to Joan Zerrien. According to At This Stage, Spano and Zerrien
met at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California. He was a founding member of the theater, and
she was a box office manager. The couple has two daughters whom they adopted
from China. Spano even went on to become director of the
Southern California chapter of the organization Families with Children from China. Spano explained the family's adoption story,
telling the outlet, "We were in a place in our lives, well off,
living in a great house and we said to ourselves what is this for? We should have kids and take advantage of
our great school district. We saw a television program that outlined
the plight of Chinese little girls so we investigated it. We decided it wasn't about passing them off
as our own. We wanted […] the opportunity to parent." Sasha Alexander's husband Edoardo Sasha Alexander, who portrayed Caitlin Todd
across dozens of "NCIS" episodes between 2003 and 2012, tied the knot with Edoardo Ponti
in 2007. And Ponti's mother also happens to be in the
biz; she's Oscar-winning Italian icon, Sophia Loren. Alexander and Ponti met at film school at
USC but didn't start dating until her "NCIS" days. The actress told TV Guide in 2012, "He was always lovely — he had a smile that
gave me enormous comfort, even though I didn't know him. […] Eight years later, I'd worked an all-nighter
on 'NCIS' and I was sitting in a restaurant eating breakfast with a hat on, and he walked
up to my table and said, 'Sasha, do you remember me?'" The couple now has two children. They welcomed daughter Lucia in 2006 and son
Leonardo in 2011. Ponti is also currently working in showbiz:
He wrote and directed the 2020 film "The Life Ahead," which stars his famous mother. Sofia Loren also appeared in his films "Between
Strangers" and "Human Voice," while his wife Sasha starred in his film "Coming & Going." "What is, in your opinion, the secret to the
longevity of your career." "Well, it's my life." Check out one of our newest videos right here! Plus, even more List videos about your favorite
