Ashley Olsen welcomes first child with husband Louis Eisner
They welcomed their first child a few months ago, but did not announce the birth publicly
Ashley Olsen is now a mum, having secretly welcomed her first child with husband Louis Eisner a few months ago, according to several reports from US media.
The likes of Vogue, People and TMZ have reported that the couple gave birth to a baby boy named Otto.
The pair – who never publicly announced the pregnancy – tied the knot last December, with a source telling People it was a ‘small affair’.
“For them, it was a perfect celebration,” the source said. “They never wanted a huge wedding.”

Olsen has been linked to artist Eisner, who is the son of jewellery designer Lisa Eisner, since 2017.
However, they have rarely spoken about their relationship to the media or online, preferring to keep a low profile.
Olsen and her twin sister Mary-Kate have previously spoken out about their desire to keep their personal lives private after growing up in the limelight as child stars – having been known for roles including Full House and The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley.
Back in June 2021, they told i-D that the modest vibe of their fashion label The Row stemmed from their upbringing.
"We were raised to be discreet people," Mary-Kate said.
Ashley added: "I think that potentially that's just our aesthetic, our design preference.
But that doesn't mean that we don't also appreciate something truly ornate or maximal."
She continued: "Sometimes a collection even starts quite like that, and then gets pared down.
"It doesn't always start from that simplistic place."
Speaking about their longtime professional relationship - which has gone from acting as children to both being at the helm of a huge fashion brand - Ashley said: "We like working together and we like having that dialogue.
"I think it helps harden your ideas to be able to hear them out loud, to speak something through.
"You know, we definitely go by intuition and instinct and it can either confirm that feeling, or if we’re both not feeling right about something, for some reason, we just don’t do it.
"Our instincts are kind of the same. But I think what’s great is that we have each other to lean on. And managing design is one thing and then also running the business side is another and I think you have a lot of decisions to make.
"I mean, when you put those two things together, there’s a lot of decisions to make on a daily basis, so I think we feel fortunate that we can have that dialogue and divide and conquer a bit."
Tyla has reached out to a representative for Ashley Olsen for comment.
