Who do they return home to after another day of hard work to bring us one of the best crime series out there? What is their family life now? Here’s a little about the real-life spouses of the stars of “NCIS: New Orleans.”

The 64-year-old actor plays Special Agent Dwayne “King” Cassius Pride in the series. He has been married to 62-year-old actress Chelsea Field for 10 years now, sharing two children with her: Wil Botfield and Owen Barett.
Before marrying his “NCIS: New Orleans” co-star, Bakula was married to Krista Neumann from 1981 to 1995, which resulted in two children named Chelsy and Cody.
After his first marriage suffered because of his career, the actor decided to make his family the priority, and he made sure to do things differently in his second marriage, always saving time to spend with his wife and children.

The 38-year-old actress joined the series on Season 3 to play Special Agent Tammy Gregorio. While she has never been married, she did give birth to son Vince as a single mother in 2007. The identity of the father is not known.
“I’m obsessed with my son. I take parenting to the fullest. I breastfed until he was 2. I’d pump all through the night and have a driver send it to him when I was working,” Ferlito once shared.
