While it’s pretty standard for twins to be attached at the hip as children, adulthood often presents challenges for siblings who once shared space in the womb. The older people get, the more their life paths tend to split in some fashion, and that just might be the case for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.


According to OK! Magazine, a source recently claimed that Mary-Kate has been having a hard time adjusting to Ashley becoming a mother. Earlier this year, the former Full House star and her husband Louis Eisner quietly welcomed their first child, a son named Otto. As Ashley embraces motherhood, Mary-Kate is reportedly “really struggling to accept this new version of her sister.”

The source also claimed that Eisner is a point of contention for having supposedly created distance between the two sisters. “It makes sense that she’d blame Louis because he’s the one putting his foot down and letting her know the boundaries,” they said of Mary-Kate’s alleged irritation toward her brother-in-law.


The insider also claimed that Ashley is experiencing guilt over her sister’s hurt feelings. “It’s tough on her; she hates upsetting her sister,” they explained. “But now that she’s a mom, her first priority is her son, and she and Louis have made their own little family. The sad truth is things have changed,” the source concluded.

The supposed rift follows an August report shared by OK! — at the time, another insider alleged Mary-Kate and the twins’ younger sister Elizabeth Olsen both felt “ecstatic to be an aunt.” The source claimed, “They’re spoiling the baby rotten, as are Ashley and Louis.”


While Mary-Kate was married to Olivier Sarkozy from 2015 to 2021, she does not have any children. The two former actresses turned fashion designers are notoriously reclusive, so the world is unlikely to know the true nature of their sisterhood — but we hope all is well despite the current rumors.
