Ashley Olsen, the 37-year-old actress-turned-designer, recently embraced motherhood, welcoming a son named Otto with her husband, Louis Eisner. The news, as reported by TMZ, reveals that the child was born in New York a few months prior. This comes after the couple's discreet wedding, which took place on December 28 at a private residence in Bel-Air. The ceremony was intimate, with approximately 50 attendees, and continued late into the night. Among the potential guests were Olsen's twin sister, Mary-Kate Olsen, and their younger sibling, Marvel actress Elizabeth Olsen.

Olsen and Eisner's relationship has always been characterized by their privacy. While they have been linked romantically since the end of 2017, the duo made their first public appearance together on the red carpet in September 2021. The whispers of their engagement started when Olsen was noticed with a gold ring in the spring of the same year. The two were first spotted together in October 2017 at the Hammer Museum's Gala. Reports suggest that they began dating earlier that year and were deeply in love. Their connection dates back even further, as they reportedly became friends through mutual high school friends in Los Angeles nearly five years before their relationship turned romantic.

Louis Eisner, a bicoastal artist, has a rich background in the arts and entertainment industry. His mother, Lisa Eisner, is a renowned fashion photographer and jewelry designer. His father, Eric Eisner, previously served as the president of the Geffen Film Company. The couple attended the 20th-anniversary gala for the Young Eisner Scholars, a nonprofit initiative by Louis's father, in September 2021.

Olsen's romantic history is highlighted by several high-profile relationships. She began dating Matt Kaplan, a Columbia University footballer turned film producer, in 2001, but the two separated in 2004. Subsequently, Ashley had brief associations with notable personalities including Jared Leto, Scott Sartiano, Lance Armstrong, and Greg Chait. Another significant relationship was with actor Justin Bartha, of National Treasure fame, which commenced in 2008. Despite rumors of their engagement, they parted ways in 2011. Reflecting on their relationship in 2017, Bartha lauded Olsen's brilliance and talent.

Olsen is notoriously absent from social media, so she hasn't shared the news on Instagram, TikTok, etc. but fans are excited for her and her growing family.
