Elizabeth Olsen Welcomes Baby
Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett Welcome First Child, Embracing Private Parenthood Journey
Key Points
Olsen and Arnett became engaged in July 2019 after about three years of dating, and they quietly eloped in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The couple reportedly met in Mexico in 2017.
Olsen and Arnett describe themselves as introverts; her preferred 'dream date' when in a livelier setting is cooking a meal at home and watching a movie.
In 2021, Olsen asked when she might have a baby, and Marvel boss Kevin Feige reportedly told her, 'You live your life and we'll work around you.'
She has previously said she wouldn’t want any child she has to follow her into the showbusiness industry.
Elizabeth Olsen has welcomed her first child with husband Robbie Arnett, according to People and US Magazine. The 35-year-old actress was spotted in Los Angeles on Saturday, Aug. 15, carrying a newborn in a white carrier strapped to her chest.
Olsen's representatives did not immediately comment on the birth. Her pregnancy had been confirmed by media outlets in June, with no formal public announcement from the couple, People reported.
A Low-Key Couple Who Kept Pregnancy Private
Olsen, 37, and Arnett have long kept their relationship out of the spotlight. The couple first met in Mexico in 2017. They got engaged in July 2019 after about two years of dating. They quietly eloped sometime in 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, according to US Magazine.
True to form, the pregnancy was never formally announced. Media outlets confirmed the news in June, piecing it together from public sightings. The Aug. 15 appearance in Los Angeles — Olsen carrying a newborn in a white carrier — marked the first public sign the baby had arrived, People reported.
Marvel Boss Told Olsen: 'You Live Your Life'
Olsen has spoken openly about balancing her career with her desire to be a mother. In 2021, she asked Marvel boss Kevin Feige when she might be able to have a baby. His answer was simple: 'You live your life and we'll work around you,' according to People.
That flexibility appears to have come at the right time. Olsen has been one of Marvel's biggest stars, playing Wanda Maximoff — also known as Scarlet Witch — across multiple films and the Disney+ series WandaVision.
Olsen Has Said She Wants Privacy for Her Children
Olsen has been clear about one thing: she does not want her child to follow her into show business. She has said she would not push any future kids toward Hollywood. Both she and Arnett describe themselves as introverts who prefer staying home over going out, according to US Magazine.
Her idea of a perfect night is cooking a meal at home and watching a movie. That quiet, private approach to life appears to extend to parenthood. No name or birth date for the baby has been made public, People noted.
