Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, known for their roles as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David on “NCIS,” shared remarkable on-screen chemistry, sparking rumors of a real-life romance. However, despite their close friendship, they never dated off-screen. Both were in relationships with other people during their time on the show, with Weatherly later marrying Bojana Janković. While their characters’ relationship on the show was complex and beloved by fans, they never pursued a romantic connection on-screen, leaving many viewers intrigued by the possibility of off-screen romance.
Weatherly’s departure from “NCIS” in 2016 and de Pablo’s exit in 2013 marked the end of an era for their characters, leaving fans with mixed feelings about the unresolved romantic tension between DiNozzo and Ziva. Despite the on-screen chemistry and compelling storyline, the actors’ off-screen relationship remained strictly platonic, with both expressing admiration for each other’s performances and professionalism on set.
