If there were two child stars that totally dominated the 1990s, they were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
Or, more importantly, whatreallyhappened to the Olsen twins?
Though the sisters were only babies at the time, they stole the show.
The movies were seriously fun to watch, especially for young kids.
In fact, they owned their own production business, Dualstar, which was behind all the films.

On the contrary, she said she felt like she and Ashley were “little monkey performers.”
And that’s not all.
“I look at old photos of me, and I don’t feel connected to them at all…
I would never wish my upbringing on anyone.”
In fact, Mary-Kate is so privateshe’s not even on social media.
After all, they were rich and famous and so young!
They looked like they had it all.
Their dad, Dave Olsen, toldEntertainment Weeklythat it wasn’t as dramatic as it seemed.

I don’t talk about it with my friends.
It’s not a part of my life.”
So, they laid pretty low and avoided the paparazzi for a while, practically disappearing from public eye.
And, really, who could blame them?
And there are somegood reasons for why they’ve left acting behind.
“I don’t have to be a pretty face,” Ashley said.

The Olsen twins may have had a knack for acting, but that doesn’t mean they enjoyed it.
In fact, she even got married in 2015.
From crying on a sitcom to marrying a banker, Mary-Kate Olsen’s life took some wild turns.
However, a source toldRadar Onlinethat that wasn’t the case.
Ugh, so sweet!
According toVanity Fair,the separation kicked off in 2020, and it was a doozy.
