Speaking about his match-making skills during an interview with TV Insider, Eric said: "I introduced her to my brother because they are wonderful human beings and I want them to be happy.
"It worked. They have two amazing kids. And they're great parents."
In a different interview with Queen Latifah on her daytime talk show back in 2014, Eric explained that David had come onto the NCIS: LA set to work as a stuntman. "When they got together, because he came on to do stunts, I would say something nice about her to him and then say something to him about her," said Eric, adding: "That was enough to kinda get them started in conversation and it became this wonderful relationship."

When asked whether or not it was awkward, Daniela said: "The obvious answer would be 'yes,' but at the same time we're so invested in our characters and we're so interested that the audience who has been following these characters is happy with what's happening on the show.
