‘NCIS: Tony & Ziva’: Michael Weatherly & Cote de Pablo on That Major Tiva Moment

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for NCIS: Tony & Ziva Season 1 Episode 9 “Ride or Die.”]

“The fans have waited forever and ever and ever,” Cote de Pablo acknowledges — and Michael Weatherly agrees — for some of the big moments for Tony and Ziva, and their NCIS spinoff is certainly giving them to them. In fact, in the latest NCIS: Tony & Ziva, the two finally say “I love you” to one another for the first time onscreen. (Tony did want to say it under truth serum in NCIS‘s Season 7 premiere “Truth or Consequences,” Weatherly previously shared.)

“You’re very good at the ‘I love yous,'” de Pablo remarks to Weatherly while sitting down with TV Insider in our New York Comic Con suite.
