Cote de Pablo has sent shockwaves through the (fictional) NCIS universe by canceling her long‑awaited spinoff after revealing she’s expecting. The actress, known for her iconic role as Ziva David, confirmed that pregnancy has derailed the project—and that the identity of the father is nothing short of jaw‑dropping.

According to close sources, Cote is carrying the child of an unexpected co‑star from the franchise, someone fans never saw coming. Rumors are swirling: is it a former love interest, a behind-the-scenes soulmate, or even an NCIS heavyweight? That kind of surprise royal on its own would have captivated the headlines, but the true twist has fans buzzing into overdrive.

With de Pablo stepping back from the spinoff to focus on her personal journey, the future of the project is now in limbo. Producers are reportedly weighing their options—whether to delay, recast, or shelve the idea entirely. Meanwhile, social media has erupted with speculation, memes, and heartfelt well-wishes for Cote and her growing family.

One thing’s for sure: this pregnancy reveal and the mystery father reveal have thrown the NCIS world into a new orbit. If the series resumes, it may be under totally different circumstances—and the audience will be glued to every update as this real-life drama unfolds.
