Ashley Olsen is a new mother—and has been for some time. TMZ reports that Olsen and her husband Louis Eisner welcomed their first child, a baby boy they named Otto, in New York “a few months ago,” per sources close to the couple. The sources did not specify exact birth date but did tell TMZ that the couple is “ecstatic” about their baby boy.
Eisner and Olsen got married in December 2022, months after first sparking marriage rumors. There’s no official statement from the couple though, as Olsen’s rep has not yet commented, and Olsen does not have social media.
Both Olsen and her twin sister Mary-Kate live very private lives despite their child star fame.
In the case of Olsen and her husband Eisner, the two never announced their marriage themselves either. While they have been photographed together from time to time, they also choose not to discuss their relationship in interviews.
But they have been together for a while: They were reported to have started dating after being friends for years in 2017. News of their relationship didn’t surface publicly until 2019, two years after they began seeing each other.
In July 2021, Olsen made a very rare appearance on Eisner’s Instagram Story, and the couple posed together at a September 2021 event.
In June 2021, the Olsen twins gave a rare interview where they addressed their preference to be more low-key (“We were raised to be discreet people,” Mary-Kate said), and why they decided not to be public faces for their line, The Row.
“We really didn’t want to be in front of it,” Ashley Olsen said. “We didn’t necessarily even want to let people know it was us, in a way. I mean, it was one of those things where it was really about the product, to the point where we’re like, ‘Who could we get to kind of front this so we don’t have to?’ I think, to this day, you’ll see we really put the product first.”
