Incredible news!!! Ashley Olsen and her husband Louis Eisner had a BABY!! His name is Otto Mozart Eisner, and we are absolutely thrilled for them and Mary-Kate (AND Lizzie!!) for becoming aunts. We also think Otto is the cutest name ever, and will referring to him as Otto Olsen whether that’s his full name or not.
But also, the biggest story here is how Ashley managed to keep an entire pregnancy and birth completely hidden from the public until months after her baby was born. Though she is mostly out of the spotlight now, she is still an incredibly famous woman with many people still invested in her every move (including the paparazzi). Even rumors of a pregnancy would’ve caused a frenzy, but Ashley somehow managed to circumvent all of that. She moved into this new phase of life in complete privacy, which is something she was never given while she was growing up, and something she (and everyone) deserves so, so much.
Most importantly, she was able to escape the impossible scrutiny that emerges when celebrities go through pregnancy in the public eye. We discuss how Kim Kardashian basically had to apologize for having a human body when she was going through her first pregnancy, and how Jessica Simpson faced similar criticism with her last.
We really had no idea how we would make an entire episode out Ashley’s secret pregnancy, but it turns out, we had A LOT to say. We hope you enjoy, and most of all— congrats to the Olsen/Eisner family!
