"He's the worst influence that I have ever had in my entire life, and I love him for it. [...] If it weren't for him, I'd be the most boring person in Los Angeles. [...] We balance each other."

Serrano's acting career dates back to the 1990s, and he has landed multiple roles in various films and television shows over the years. He has shared the small screen with Liev Schreiber in "Ray Donovan," Issa Rae in "Insecure," and more.

Cote de Pablo on Why She Does Not Have Social Media

It has yet to be confirmed when or why Serrano and Pablo broke up, as the actress shared, "I'm an incredibly private person." In addition to being tight-lipped regarding her love life, she did not have social media.

The "NCIS" star revealed her decision to avoid social media platforms came from her desire to savor moments fully. "When I'm having fun, I'm not taking pictures of myself. I'm just having fun, and I'm too busy having fun [...]," she said.

Cote de Pablo's On-Screen Romance with Her 'NCIS' Co-star

Pablo has played special agent Ziva David since 2005, and during the show, her character enters a romantic relationship with Michael Weatherly's character. The actress shared about her and Weatherly's relationship:

"Michael and I clicked immediately. We sort of hated each other immediately and loved each other immediately. [...] That relationship was established the moment that we met. Nothing changed; it was just enhanced. And we loved each other as well."

However, Pablo's exit was announced following the premiere of season 11 of "NCIS." "We respect Cote's decision," CBS revealed. Fortunately for "NCIS" fans, she returned and shared, "I feel like I'm going back to, obviously, my set — my home."

Earlier this year, an "NCIS" fan told Weatherly they would like to see his and Cote de Pablo's characters reuniting, and the actor responded, "Stay tuned… for this might be an interesting year for such 'moments'!"
