Elizabeth Olsen has reportedly welcomed her first child with her husband, musician Robbie Arnett.
The 37-year-old Wandavision star and her 34-year-old partner were photographed together in Los Angeles, with Olsen wearing the infant in a white baby carrier.
Page Six reports that the couple were spotted out and about with the child on Saturday, August 15.
Olsen and Arnett met while on vacation in Mexico in 2017, and the Marvel star later confirmed that they had married in a private ceremony “before Covid.” Arnett is a multi-instrumentalist known for his work with the indie band Milo Greene.
Olsen is the younger sister of former child stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and has previously spoken out about whether she would let her own children act from a young age.
In a 2023 interview with The Times, the actor admitted she was reluctant to allow any of her children to act professionally before they turn 18.
“Hard no,” she told the interviewer with a laugh. Her elder twin sisters, however, began their first job at nine months old, sharing the role of Michelle Tanner on the family sitcom Full House.
Olsen went on to clarify that her decision has less to do with Mary-Kate and Ashley’s specific experiences, and more to do with the existing difficulties of navigating modern life as a young person.
“My sisters are unique so it’s not a reflection on them when I say no, I think it’s a reflection more on culture today,” she said.
“Being younger today is already so complicated. To amplify it by being a child actor and then amplify it by social media, I just think it’s a lot for a kid’s development... I think my sisters are on a totally different path than your average child actor.”
Ashley retired from acting in 2004, with Mary-Kate following in 2012. Since 2006, the sisters have both had successful fashion careers after founding New York-based luxury brand, The Row.
Previously, Elizabeth shared her feelings about growing up with media attention as the sister of the Olsen twins and an actor in her own right.
“It’s weird growing up with that,” Olsen told singer Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie on their Table Manners podcast in 2021.
“The paparazzi part was the strange part because they follow you, and as a child it was very scary. They were obsessed with them turning 18.”
