From NCIS Agent to Adoring Mom: Emily Wickersham Melts Hearts with a Rare Glimpse of Baby Cassius
Remember Emily Wickersham as the sharp Agent Ellie Bishop on NCIS? While we miss her on screen, it's genuinely heartwarming to see her embracing a completely different, yet equally captivating, role: motherhood. Recently, Emily gave us a rare and incredibly sweet peek into her world, sharing a photo of her son, Cassius, that’s pure sleepy magic.
Since welcoming little Cassius with her partner, actor James Badge Dale, back in December 2021, Emily's life has beautifully shifted focus. This latest photo, shared on her Instagram, captures that quiet intimacy perfectly. It shows Cassius nestled deeply asleep in his momma's arms – a simple, peaceful moment that speaks volumes about their bond.
Emily added a touch of poetry to the moment with her caption:
"bits of summers end and freckles end but just the beginning of many for this little man."
Isn't that lovely? It hints at the changing seasons, both outside and in life, and the endless possibilities ahead for her son.
Fans and Family Feel the Love
Naturally, fans who've followed Emily's journey were quick to share their delight in the comments. Messages poured in, like:
- "Congrats on the beautiful growing family Emily,"
- "Love that picture."
- And a piece of heartfelt advice: "Enjoy every minute with him, they grow in the blink of an eye."
It wasn't just fans feeling the warmth. Proud dad James Badge Dale chimed in with his own touching words, hinting at a reunion:
"Beautiful beginnings every day… coming home soon and we'll watch the leaves change x."
Talk about relationship goals and the sweetness of family life!
A New Chapter After NCIS
Life certainly looks different for Emily these days compared to her time chasing down bad guys on NCIS. She hung up Agent Bishop's badge after Season 18, concluding a run that spanned nearly eight years and 172 episodes. Since then, she's fully immersed herself in being a mom, and while she keeps things relatively private, she occasionally treats followers to glimpses of her family adventures.
We saw an adorable shot of Cassius enjoying a beach day earlier this year, and June brought a lovely family picture celebrating James' first Father's Day. It's clear that this new role suits her beautifully.
Welcoming Cassius
It feels like just yesterday (though it was December 30, 2021!) that Emily announced Cassius's arrival. She shared those first precious hospital snaps, writing:
"Welcome to the world. Cassius Wickersham Dale born 12/30/21 just in time to join the party to ring in the New Year. You are more than @jamesbadgedale and I could ever have imagined. We are so in love with you."
Fond Farewell to a TV Family
When Emily announced her NCIS departure back in May 2021, she did so with immense gratitude. Her farewell message captured the feeling of leaving a long-term gig that felt like family:
"I can't say enough kind words about this group that I've had the pleasure of working with for close to 8 years now... I've been lucky enough to be a part of a show where I got to show up and act and laugh and learn with wonderful people. A moment in time I surely won't forget."
It was the end of an era for her character, but clearly the beginning of a wonderful new personal chapter. As Emily continues to navigate and cherish motherhood, fans are surely sending her all the best and eagerly awaiting the next sweet update from her growing family. It's lovely to see her thriving.
