The Olsen Twins: Inside Their Lives Now
After a childhood in front of the cameras, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, now 30, have settled into a busy-and extremely private-life behind the scenes.
The Full House child stars turned fashion moguls recently opened up to Net-a-Porter's The Edit, saying their focus these days is split between work (they head up lifestyle brand Elizabeth and James and high-end fashion line the Row) and personal commitments. "I have a husband, two stepkids and a life. I have to go home and cook dinner," said Mary-Kate, who married French banker Olivier Sarkozy, 47, in 2015. In her free time, "I ride horses on the weekends. You find the thing that helps you relax, and if you don't have it ... you get burned out."
Ashley spends off-hours with her boyfriend, financier and art collector Richard Sachs, 58. "I've known them since they were young," their former longtime publicist Michael Pagnotta tells People. They went through a period of "rebellion" in their teens, he says, but "despite their fame and wealth, they are normal girls for their age." He credits that to their strong upbringing: "They were always part of a very loving family that was aware they were kids and needed to have a real life."
