What Really Happened Between Ashley Olsen And Jared Leto?
In case you haven't heard: Ashley Olsen is officially off the market! The former child star and fashion mogul reportedly tied the knot with her artist-boyfriend Louis Eisner after five years of dating, per Page Six. The notoriously private couple exchanged vows in a secret ceremony in Bel-Air on December 28, 2022, with "only a few dozen guests" in attendance. The exciting update comes over three years after the two first set off engagement rumors in 2019, as Olsen was spotted wearing a gold band on her left ring finger on a night out with Eisner, per Us Weekly.
Olsen and Eisner — an artist from Los Angeles and then son of jewelry designer Lisa Eisner — were first linked back in October 2017. However, they didn't make their first public appearance until September 2021, when they attended the YES 20th Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles, per E! Online. The pair allegedly met through mutual friends in high school and have known each other long before they started dating. A source told RadarOnline in 2019 that the two were "very much in love." The insider stressed, "It's not that they are trying to keep their relationship on the down low, Louis just doesn't like the spotlight — even less so than Ashley."
Before settling down with Eisner, Olsen has been romantically involved with several famous men, including Matt Kaplan, Lance Armstrong, Justin Bartha, and Dax Shepard. She was also repeatedly linked to Jared Leto, although things just couldn't seem to work out for the two.
Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto dated on-and-off for several years
Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto were first rumored to be an item in 2005 after being seen out on a "cozy date," according to Us Weekly. At the time, Olsen had just split from her restaurateur-boyfriend Scott Sartiano after the two dated for less than a year. A source told the outlet that Olsen was "like a giddy schoolgirl who has a new man" with Leto (via Hollywood.com). While their romance fizzled out, she and the actor would be seen again together at the Art of Elysium gala in L.A. in 2008. An eyewitness told Us Weekly that the pair "looked like a couple" and "were making out" during the event. However, at that time, an insider close to Olsen denied that the two were back on. "They're friends," the source insisted (via Huffpost).
Following her split from Justin Bartha, Olsen ignited rumors of a rekindled romance with Leto after the two were seen enjoying a "very flirtatious meal" at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills in 2012. New York Daily News reported that the pair couldn't get their hands off each other — with Leto constantly caressing Olsen's arm and Olsen putting her head on Leto's lap at one point. But while it seems that they were deeply in love, things ultimately didn't pan out for the two. Leto would eventually get back together with his ex-girlfriend Scarlett Johansson, while Olsen would move on with businessman David Schulte in 2013.
Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto reunited in 2016
Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto would remain good friends after their split. In 2016, four years since their last sighting together, the two were photographed at the Met Gala with Ashley's twin sister, Mary-Kate Olsen. Notably, it was Leto's first Met Gala appearance, and the 30 Seconds to Mars singer looked absolutely dapper in a custom ensemble by Gucci, paired with a brooch and cane. Meanwhile, the Olsen twins were stunning as usual in their coordinated beige-and-black looks, per People. Come 2018, Ashley and Leto would again cross paths at Hollywood's biggest fashion event and pose for a photo-op. This time, Leto got more experimental with his look and dressed as a "Gucci-clad Jesus," while Ashley and Mary-Kate turned heads with their own interpretation of the theme "Heavenly Bodies."
Since dating Ashley, Leto has reportedly had high-profile romances with the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Lupita Nyong'o. He was also linked to model Valery Kaufman, but the two reportedly split in September 2022, per ET. In 2016, Leto expressed his desire to keep his love life a mystery despite being involved with several different women. "Even if I was in a relationship or maybe if I was having kids, I don't know if I would share that information publicly," he told Rolling Stone (via E!). Leto also shared his thoughts on marriage, saying he's unsure whether he wants to get married someday. "I don't think there's a definitive decision that I've made," he said.
