 Fans were quick to comment on the photo, with one writing: "This is the cutest!" while another wrote: "I love her wee smile. My two year old niece thinks she is a teenager and wants to do everything herself. Loves to entertain and sing." A third added: "She is just the perfect blend of you and Eric! So adorable."

He also revealed that his co-stars, Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J were role models to him when it came to parenting. "Chris and LL always talked about it — they wrap for the day, and you just drive home because you get to go and see your family," he said.

Eric also told Entertainment Tonight that he realized the true meaning of loving someone unconditionally after having children.

"The most important thing that I learned was kind of the idea of unconditional love. And of course, that doesn’t mean that there’s not boundaries in that love. [There are] boundaries within that love, but the love is unconditional in that you always have this place that is safe." 

Family is everything to Eric, who also has a famous brother, David Paul Olsen, who played his stunt double on NCIS: LA. The pair are incredibly close, despite growing up in different places. Eric was born in Eugene, Oregon, while David was born in Moline, Illinois. 

What's more, Eric was the one that set up his brother with his now-wife. Daniela opened up to Cassidy Gard about how she met David while on the 2017 red carpet. 

"So yeah, I met my husband on set. It's Eric’s brother. He is [Marty], a lot of you might know. [David] is his stunt double but also brother in real life, and so yeah. Eric was just like, 'you have to meet my brother because you like guys that are healthy and workout, and he likes brunettes with big shoulders.' And I was like… 'What? What are you saying?'"

She continued: "But it's great. It's strong. So yeah, I met my husband on set through Eric and kind of had to chase him around a little bit because he is kind of introverted at first until you get to know him, and then I nailed him. Got him and you know, had two children."
