Ruah Chooses First Date Over Wedding Anniversary

Actress Daniela Ruah and her husband, David Olsen, are choosing to celebrate their first date anniversary on February 8th, 2026, rather than their wedding anniversary in June. Ruah noted that they are more frequently together on their first date anniversary. She explained that her June wedding anniversary often occurs while she is in Portugal with their children, making their first date anniversary the more significant annual celebration.

This year, Ruah's attendance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival for the premiere of her short film 'My Type' on Saturday, February 7th, might mean celebrating the first date anniversary apart. The family regularly returns to Portugal, Ruah's home country, to immerse their children in its culture and ensure they are bilingual, speaking Portuguese and Spanish alongside English.
