David and Ruah met after her co-star, Eric Christian Olsen, introduced them. During a 2014 interview on The Queen Latifah Show, Eric spoke about how he helped Ruah and David make a love connection:

[Daniela] was dating this guy that was awful, and [David] was dating this girl that was awful, and they weren’t themselves. And I got to see [Daniela] at work and she’s this amazing, wonderful human being.

And I know my brother, and he’s this amazing, wonderful human being. But they weren’t themselves in their relationships. When they got together, because he came on to do stunts, I would say something nice about her to him and then say something to him about her. That was enough to kinda get them started in conversation and it became this wonderful relationship.
