A mutual friend, Gina Hecht, introduced them during a party that March and the couple got married a year later on March 21, 1987.

Quick to start a family, the happy couple welcomed their first son, Sean on April 26, 1988, followed by their second son, Ty Christian on June 25, 1992.

By the time they had children, Pam had already forged a successful acting career of her own with roles in “Mork and Mindy,” “The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything,” “Remembrance of Love,” “Through Naked Eyes,” and “Wild Horses.”

Pam’s career took off when a friend convinced her to go along to New York and give her modeling portfolio to various agents. Wilhemina Models signed her on the spot, but it didn’t take long before Pam realized that acting interested her more than modeling.

David married his second wife, Katherine Eaton Carpenter on September 16, 1967. The former model turned interior designer later gave birth to their two children, Sophie and Peter.

Despite working in different states, with Katherine based in New York and David in Los Angeles, where NCIS is filmed, the couple made their relationship a priority.

"We've spent ten months of the year apart for the last 13 years. She is part of the oldest interior design firm in the US and works out of New York. We keep in constant touch, and there are all these vacations in America, like Thanksgiving, when we are together. And the cellphones," David said during an interview in 2016.
