Ashley Olsenquietlywelcomed her first childin 2023 after keeping the majority of her personal life out of the public eye.

The fashion designer married Louis Eisner, a contemporary artist and the son of jewelry designer Lisa Eisner, in aprivate ceremony in December 2022, about five years after they started dating.

Less than a year later, it was revealed in August 2023 that she had given birth to her son Otto after keeping her pregnancy private.

The two have avoided public events and rarely spoken about their relationship — a commitment to privacy that has extended into Olsen’s pregnancy with Otto and now their family life.

From her private pregnancy to Otto’s birth, here’s everything to know about Ashley Olsen’s son Otto.

Olsen’s decision to keep her pregnancy private didn’t come as a surprise. Unlike many celebrities who share their pregnancy journeys on social media, The Row co-founder chose to stay out of the public eye and prepare for motherhood away from the spotlight.

In 2021, Olsen and her twin sisterMary-Kate Olsentoldi-Dthey were “raised to be discreet people” since their days as child stars onFull House.

Olsen has yet to publicly talk about her parenting style, but given her own upbringing in the public eye, it’s likely she values privacy and normalcy for her son.

Growing up as a child star, Olsen experiencedthe pressures of fame from a young age, which may have influenced her desire to protect Otto. In March 2017, she admitted toThe Editthat she and her twin “stayed quite sheltered” from social media.
