Ruah Chooses First Date Over Wedding Anniversary
8 Feb
Summary
- Daniela Ruah and David Olsen celebrate their first date anniversary, not wedding.
- The couple prioritizes their Feb 8 first date over their June wedding anniversary.
- Ruah's short film 'My Type' premieres at Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
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.
'My Type' is a short film inspired by the true story of Zach White and Elise Scalfani, who connected online and bonded over their shared diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. Ruah expressed her excitement about premiering the film in Santa Barbara, where it was also filmed, praising the city's receptive community and businesses for their support during production.
