Chris O'Donnell, the charismatic star of NCIS: Los Angeles, has managed to balance a successful acting career with a fulfilling personal life. His relationship with Caroline Fentress began in the early 1990s. It was a classic case of love at first sight for O'Donnell but the fact that Fentress was his friend's sister initially posed a challenge.

They got engaged in 2015 when Pieterse was 19, raising some eyebrows due to their young age. However, they proved skeptics wrong by tying the knot in 2018 in a fairytale castle wedding in Ireland. Pieterse has praised Sheaffer for his unwavering support, especially when she struggled with PCOS and its effects on her weight. In 2020, they had their first child.
