Having launched her career in showbiz as a baby, we're happy to report that Mary-Kate
has settled down into the quiet rhythms of married mogul life with billionaire Olivier
Sarkozy.
But is it really wedded bliss?
Here's why their marriage is just plain weird.
French political family ties
Olivier's half-brother is Nicolas Sarkozy, who served as president of France from 2007
to 2012, attempting to lead his nation through a world economic crisis.
And then of course, his step-brother, Olivier, just so happens to be a prominent French investment
banker.
If nothing else, that combo should definitely make for some vibrant dinner conversation
between stale jokes about John Stamos' hair.
"Nobody's touching my hair but me."
A low-key wedding
When Mary-Kate and Olivier finally tied the knot in 2015, they didn't go over the top.
Details are sparse, but according to Page Six, the couple reportedly kept it relatively
low-key by celebrity standards, with some 50 guests attending the event, which was held
in a lavish Manhattan apartment with bowls of cigarettes topping every table.
A source told the tab, quote, "Everyone smoked the whole night."
Guests were also reportedly stripped of their cellphones during the special day.
But the craziest omission?
Mary Kate's former TV dad, Bob Saget, wasn't invited.
"You tried harder than anyone to help me.
Your shirt got all ripped, and you got all dirty, I think you're the best dad in the
whole world."
Sagat took the snub in stride, telling Today, just after the wedding took place…
"I'm very happy.
And I sent a Mazel Tov text."
He added,
"I love her very much.
And I hope that they're happy."
$13.5 million starter home
The couple's wedding was no spur-of-the-moment event.
Rumor has it, Olivier was ready to race down the aisle after just ten months of dating,
but Mary-Kate supposedly slowed his roll.
They reportedly dated for three years, buying a $13.5 million townhouse in Manhattan before
tying the knot.
The insane digs included a hall of mirrors, a rooftop swimming pool, a massive garage,
an artist's studio, and a private garden with a fountain.
And for this couple, it was just a starter home.
Curbed reported that they sold the place in 2014, looking for more private living quarters.
Did MK influence her twin?
"What I see is me.
I see me too."
The huge age difference between Mary-Kate and Olivier is almost nothing compared with
twin sister Ashley Olsen and her former beau.
Perhaps in an odd twist of twindom, Ashley was linked to artist Richard Sachs when she
was 30 and he was 56.
The twins have even been spotted on numerous double dates together with their significant
others.
One witness told Page Six that they spotted Ashley and Sachs, claiming,
"It looked like she was dining with her grandpa, but they were holding hands and snuggling."
But it didn't last long.
Ashley and Sachs reportedly split by March 2017, after five rumored months of dating.
The private pair's PDA
French blogs and magazines just can't get enough of this romance.
Calling Olivier quote, "the little French lover," the foreign press seems determined
to expose a trend for dating younger women that seems to have a long history in the Sarkozy
family tree.
Plus, there's the half-brother president thing.
"Wow looks are important to you."
But Mr. Mary-Kate doesn't seem to mind the negative attention.
When these two have been caught in public, it's all cuddles and kisses.
And while it's easy to recoil from anyone's PDA, we're not here to judge.
It's just a bit odd that a couple so seemingly intent on maintaining their privacy would
be so public with their affection.
Life under the radar
Mary-Kate and sister Ashley were once constantly hounded by paparazzi, but now that she's an
honest woman, Mary-Kate and her hubby have skirted the spotlight.
In fact, they keep such a low profile that not even Mary-Kate's former Full House co-stars
see her that often.
"I still can't tell them apart."
After their November 2015 wedding, the newlyweds weren't seen in public together for nearly
two months.
A source told E! News that the reason was because:
"Mary-Kate has a fabulous life with Olivier and they spend a lot of time in Paris where
they are both very happy.
She has become immersed in his world."
How a mogul settles down
Though Mary-Kate has been working pretty much her entire life and can certainly afford to
hire some help around the house, she admitted to Net-A-Porter's The Edit in 2017 that she
does sometimes feel the desire to be a little domestic too.
We're not saying that's a bad thing.
It's just odd to hear a gal worth about $200 million talk about putting food on the table.
"Snap out of it."
Mary Kate told the outlet,
"I have a husband, two stepkids and a life; I have to go home and cook dinner.
I ride horses on the weekends.
You find the thing that helps you relax."
