The beloved actress is actually in a serious relationship with a very famous Hollywood actor.

When Emily Wickersham left NCIS in 2021 after eight years of portraying Special Agent Eleanor Bishop, viewers were heartbroken and yearned to see the popular character return to the screen as soon as possible.

However, once it emerged that Emily had left the show to care for her newborn son, fans instantly supported the actress, encouraging her to take all the time she needed before considering a return to the series. But who is the father of the little boy?

In fact, Emily has been in a relationship with actor James Badge Dale for at least a few years. They made it public back in 2021. Dale is undoubtedly a familiar face, having played major roles in films like The Departed and The Empty Man, as well as shows like 24 and 1923.

Although the couple shares a son, they are not officially married: they are just living together and relishing their time as parents. Perhaps Emily and James are simply taking things slow, as Emily only divorced her ex-husband Blake Hanley in 2018.

Fans of the actors are overjoyed to see them together, dubbing Emily and James as one of Hollywood's most adorable couples. They say there's something genuinely warm and respectable about seeing two celebrities enjoy each other's company without too much publicity or scandal, unlike the way some other actors handle their relationships these days.

While Emily is currently focusing on caring for her son, James is immersed in a small arthouse production about professional fencing and lucid dreaming called Balestra, as well as Jeremy Saulnier's latest thriller Rebel Ridge. Perhaps in the future, James and Emily will co-star in a film, delighting fans with their captivating on-screen chemistry.

Fortunately, Emily and James are quite open about their personal life, frequently sharing photos of themselves on their Instagram pages, proving their loving relationship is as real as it gets.
