Daniela Ruah revealed that Kensi Blye is back doing what she loves most. Both she and Deeks are working full-time in the field. Ruah stated on the podcast, “I think they’re both back to work, and I think Mama Deeks is probably helping out with raising little ninja baby Kensi.” The actress emphasized that work remained central to both characters’ identities.

Why Does Daniela Ruah Think Kensi Had a Daughter
The NCIS: LA series finale never revealed the baby’s gender. Kensi and Deeks learned she was pregnant but got no further details. However, Ruah has her own theory about the little one. “I feel like Kensi would have a tough little girl,” she admitted during the podcast. This prediction wasn’t just casual speculation. Ruah drew from her deep understanding of Kensi’s character built over 14 seasons of playing the role.
Viewers have debated this detail since May 2023, when the finale aired. Ruah’s personal belief adds another layer of fan discussion. She noted that the pregnancy announcement itself was perfect timing for closure.

Ruah reflected on their evolution. “I think the maturity of age” helped them work through their troubled pasts. Both characters started damaged, both craving partnership. Over years, they learned to compromise and respect each other deeply. Their arc proved that slow burns can create the strongest bonds on television.

Will Fans Get to See Kensi Blye Again on Television?
The question now shifts to whether producers will take Ruah up on that offer. NCIS: New York launched in 2024 with her former costar LL Cool J leading the team. Ruah expressed enthusiasm about appearing in that spinoff. She’s proven she can balance acting with directing, making a guest appearance realistic. The NCIS universe continues expanding, and bringing back beloved characters from the original LA spinoff could be huge for ratings. Fans who spent 14 seasons watching Kensi grow would certainly welcome her return, even briefly. Will it happen? That remains the million-dollar question.
