NCIS: LA star Eric Christian Olsen and wife welcome fourth child just months after losing their home in wildfires
The 48-year-old Olsen and 41-year-old Wright Olsen announced in late February that they were expecting their fourth child.
The actors tied the knot in 2012 and share son Wyatt Oliver, 11, and daughters Esme Olivia, 8 and Winter Story, 4.
They shared a joint Instagram post with several new snaps with their newborn daughter - Ocean Rain Olsen.
'She's here!! Ocean Rain Olsen born 6/17 12:37am - 11 pounds 4 ounces,' the happy couple began in their caption.
'Grateful beyond words for our amazing team that helped us get her here safely during an incredibly complex birth. Cannot wait to share all the details of this day,' they added.
They also thanked their friend, actress-turned-entrepreneur Nikki Reed, who they said, 'stayed with us all night to document this day.'
The first snap showed Wright Olsen laying with her newborn, while the second black-and-white snap showed the couple embracing.
The third pic was another with Sarah embracing her newborn, while the fourth showed both parents holding their new child.
The fourth and final snap showed Ocean resting on a pillow and under a monogrammed blanket with her name on it.
Just six months earlier, Sarah shared an Instagram post confirming their Pacific Palisades home had gone up in flames like so many others in early January.
'It's impossible to put into words these last few days. We are together and safe and surrounded by love. Thank you to uncle Dave and aunt Dani who took in so many of us. We lost our home. It was one of the first areas to go,' she began.
'Our kids have said 'we all took our first steps there.' It's so hard to say goodbye to our gorgeous town, our special school and this place we have loved for 13 years,' she added.
'But we are so so grateful we are together and for the outpouring of love. We have received so many messages from friends offering their homes, food, clothing, hugs, things for the kids, support and we are just blown away,' she added.
'It's what keeps making us tear up. Thank you it means so much to us. More soon,' she concluded with a red heart emoji.
Olsen currently serves as an executive producer on CBS' new Matlock series starring Kathy Bates, with the star gifting her Critics Choice Award to Olsen in February after losing his home.
'I do take moments to digest, to acknowledge and authentically process what is lost - for me, that doesn't come with tears. BUT, I have been perpetually blown away, eyes pooled, tears racing by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity of our friends, family and complete strangers,' he said in a February 11 Instagram post.
'These acts of love came to a stunning crescendo at the Critics Choice Awards on Friday, where Kathy, my partner on Matlock and one of my legit heroes in this business, gave an acceptance speech that I can only describe as one of the most life-affirming and work-affirming moments ever,' he added.
'I found myself watching it, kids snuggled in, as tears streamed down my face. So emotionally blindsided by the absolute beauty of my friend's stunning thoughtfulness,' Olsen said.

EXCLUSIVE The truth about Harry Jowsey and Sia's 'undeniable chemistry' after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Los Angeles
Sia and Harry Jowsey set tongues wagging on Saturday when they were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Los Angeles. The Unstoppable hitmaker, 49, and Too Hot To Handle star, 28, were all smiles after they left a dinner date at Ca' Del Sole. A source tells Daily Mail Australia that while their 'chemistry is undeniable', their relationship is strictly platonic. 'Harry and Sia have been spending a lot of time together recently and surprisingly get on really well,' says the source. 'They're not dating, but the chemistry is undeniable,' they added. 'There's definitely a deep connection forming' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The duo were photographed leaving the upscale eatery on July 19, where they shared a meal before strolling to Jowsey's car hand-in-hand. The reality star was even seen opening the car door for the Grammy-nominated singer. 'It's the unexpected duo no one saw coming,' added the source. 'They're like polar opposites on paper, but it just works. They make each other laugh, they're both a little eccentric, and it's been refreshing for them.' 'Harry respects Sia hugely,' the insider continued. 'She's been through so much and carved out her own path, and he's soaking it all up. They've got a fun, big-sibling kind of bond happening.' Back in January, the TV star confirmed he was looking for a genuine connection on his new reality show, telling press: 'I'm taking this seriously - I want to find my wife.' 'Harry is still single - but open,' the source added. 'Right now, he's focusing on building meaningful connections, and Sia just happens to be one of the people he's closest to at the moment.' Cheap Thrills hitmaker Sia wore a moody high-necked black tiered maxi dress with a longline coat and leopard print slouch boots. Harry kept things crisp in an olive overcoat, matching chinos and a white tee. The pair's outing comes just months after Sia filed for divorce from husband Dan Bernard, whom she secretly welcomed a child with during their two-year marriage. The Beautiful People hitmaker is now navigating single life while raising 15-month-old son, Somersault Wonder Bernad. Meanwhile, Jowsey has been making headlines of his own, gearing up to film Let's Marry Harry, a Netflix dating show where he searches for a wife with the help of best friend and Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper. 'They're collaborating on something creative behind the scenes,' the source revealed. 'Harry's stepping into a new era with his show and Sia's been a great sounding board. There's talk of her being involved in some way – whether it's music, mentorship or even a cheeky cameo.' While it's not the first time Jowsey's name has been linked to a high-profile woman - with past romances involving Lucy Hale, Francesca Farago, Jessica Vestal and even rumours of a fling with Stassie Karanikolaou. Harry previously told Daily Mail Australia that he always wanted to appear as a lead on a dating show like The Bachelor. 'I'd love to be The Bachelor. I think that'd be fun,' said Harry, before adding, 'I'm putting my hand up.' While LA-based Jowsey admitted he's uncertain whether the opportunity would be on home soil or across the pond in America, he's ready to start the conversation. 'I would accept the offer. It depends if it would be in Australia or in the US... It would just be a conversation, to see if they actually want me or not... see if they want it to be a crazy season,' he explained.

Philip Rivers announces retirement from football as a Charger
Former NFL star quarterback Philip Rivers has announced his retirement from football as a Charger. Rivers, 43, spent all but one of his 17 seasons with the franchise, which he leads in virtually every passing category. He played one season for the Colts in the 2020 season, which was the last time he suited up in the NFL. And while Rivers was already assumed by many to be done playing, he made things official on Monday as he re-joined the Chargers to provide an emotional update. 'It's really, in the past handful of years, been my desire [to retire] as a Charger. It was more so the timing,' Rivers told the team's website. 'Gratitude is the first thing that comes to mind. Just thankful. Thankful for my time there as a Charger.' philip rivers forever. — Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) July 21, 2025 The quarterback gave a heartwarming video interview to the team, who wove his sit-down with highlights from his memorable career. 'There were so many highlights and fun Sundays,' Rivers added in the tribute video. 'So many. But what I miss and what I'm most appreciative and thankful for are those relationships.' Namely, the Alabama native was close with his offensive lineman, and he was surprised during the video by his former protectors Nick Hardwick, Kris Dielman, Marcus McNeill and Jeromey Clary. Rivers got emotional as his former teammates surprised him in his home, hugging each one before taking a FaceTime from Chargers president John Spanos. Spanos told 'He and I have had discussions over the last several years, ever since his first year when he wasn't playing. We had a really good conversation and there was a lot of gratitude expressed back and forth, from me personally and on the team's behalf for everything he's meant to us and all our fans as well as from him for what the Chargers mean to him. 'He made it known back then he wanted to retire a Charger, and I obviously expressed that we would love that to happen as soon as he was ready,' Spanos continued. 'I think we both knew this day was coming for a few years now, but the key thing that I expressed to Philip was that I wanted the timing to be something he was good with. He had to be ready to close that door.' Rivers was routinely considered one of the league's best quarterbacks during his career, and made eight Pro Bowls while playing for the Chargers. He's remembered by fans for the high-powered offense he formed with running back LaDainian Tomlinson, and for his spirited trash-talking during his career. Rivers' large family with his wife, Tiffany, has also become a point of fascination among NFL fans as the couple shares 10 children together. The couple shares kids Halle, Caroline, Grace, Gunner, Sarah, Peter, Rebecca, Clare, Anna and the youngest, Andrew, who was born in October 2023. Rivers posted a 5-7 record in the playoffs (the furthest he made it was the AFC Championship), and will retire from the NFL with over $243million in earnings, per Spotrac.
