Cote de Pablo’s Journey with NCIS and Her Relationship With Mark Harmon
Cote de Pablo, widely known for her role as Ziva David on NCIS, startled fans when she returned in Season 16. Her career began as a television host, and she immediately became a popular character on the show, appearing in 189 episodes between 2005 and 2013. However, her quick departure perplexed fans.
De Pablo explained that her decision to quit was influenced by the trajectory of her character. “I didn’t like the direction her character was headed,” she explained. “They were going to send [Ziva] back to Israel and make her an unfortunate, miserable woman. I didn’t think it was fair.”
On set, de Pablo developed a close relationship with Mark Harmon, whom she characterized as “more of a friend mentor.” He always felt like a father figure to me.” Despite suspicions of romance, she confirmed that their relationship was strictly platonic.
Cote de Pablo continues to act but is single, focused on her job and upcoming projects. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her net worth is $6 million.
