Cote de Pablo starred in the premiere episode of Season 3 of "NCIS" and left in Season 11. Being a private person, she initially did not reveal why she left the show except that it was personal.
Even though fans were rooting for a relationship between her and her onscreen partner Tony Dinozzo played by Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo was in a long-term relationship.
The actress, who was happy in love with her partner who starred in "The Young and the Restless," credited him for being the worst influence in her life.
After studying music theater, the Chile-born Miami-raised actress graduated in 2000 from Carnegie Mellon University. However, she did not move to Miami until she was ten, and that was when she learned to speak English.
While at the university, she appeared in several theater productions. In 2001, she appeared on the New York City Public Theater stage before moving onto roles on the small screen.
While in the United States, her parents separated. De Pablo's mother moved back to Chile, but they still visited each other and bonded while cooking.
De Pablo loves when her mother comes visiting as her mother would stay for two or three weeks. She revealed that her mother has a rare talent for whipping up a fantastic dish out of nothing.
She tried to pick up on the talent years later, but she could not compare it to her mother's. De Pablo is not the only child of her parents as she has a sister and a brother named Andrea and Francisco, respectively.
While her brother and father still live in Miami, where her brother is a DJ, her sister lives in New York, and De Pablo moved to Los Angeles.
De Pablo, born María José, is grateful for life, but her most significant health concern is cancer because it runs in their family. She once revealed that cancer was the cause of her grandmother's death, and it broke her heart.
However, her final experience with her grandmother strengthened her belief in God. Shortly before her grandmother passed away, De Pablo's father summoned her with only 12 hours to get to her grandmother.
She had cried so much on the plane that when she got there, she could no longer cry. After seeing that cancer had consumed her grandmother, she left the room.
De Pablo said she went into another room, angry at God; she looked up and asked him to take her grandmother within twenty minutes if He existed else she would never believe in Him again.
