Elizabeth Olsen Finally Confirms The Relationship News Fans Suspected
It has been an incredible past few years for actor Elizabeth Olsen! In terms of her career, Olsen is popping off in Hollywood, especially within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She first appeared in 2014's a"Captain America: Winter Soldier" as Wanda Maximoff, which was actually first an uncredited post-credits role. But then she returned for "Avengers: Age of Ultron" as Scarlet Witch — the supervillain witch turned Avenger — and the rest is history! Now, Olsen has the critically-acclaimed "Wandavision" and her first movie of Marvel's Phase Four, "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," under her belt. And there is certainly much more coming for Olsen, who is being lauded as one of the best actors of her generation.
In the midst of all of this, Olsen has also been making time for dating the musician and Milo Greene band member, Robbie Arnett. The lovebirds first met while the actor was traveling in Mexico in 2016, which alone sounds like the start of a sweeping romance. Arnett proposed to the actor in 2019, but the COVID pandemic forced the couple to postpone their wedding. Or ... did it?
Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett eloped ... a while ago
Fans have long speculated that Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett secretly tied the knot right under their noses. When Olsen appeared in one of Variety's "Actors on Actors" in 2021, she mentioned Arnett and referred to him as her "husband," not fiancé (via E!). Since Olsen neither confirmed nor denied the marriage afterward, most disregarded her wording as a slip-up. But Olsen and Arnett just confirmed that they actually are married, and have been for over a year!
In an interview for "The Jess Cagle Show" on SiriusXM, the pair set the record straight about their nuptials. "We eloped and then we had a wedding at another time," Olsen explained. "And it was before COVID. I just never talked about it." Uhm ... what?! Well, it turns out that Olsen "had to work in England," and her work visa wouldn't allow her to bring Arnett with her unless they were actually husband and wife. So, a huge congratulations to the happy couple is in order!
Olsen and Arnett's union is professional, too
It looks like Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett aren't just romantic partners — they have been working together, too! Their most recent project as a married couple is a children's book they wrote together called "Hattie Harmony: Worry Detective," which was published on June 28. The book follows protagonist Hattie, who is "always there to help her friends when they need her," according to the official synopsis. "Hattie always finds the perfect tools to calm her friends' bodies and minds," it continues. "But when her own fears start to bubble up, can Hattie learn to overcome them herself?"
On "Good Morning America," Olsen shared how Arnett is the creative writer and she is the editor. "I'd be lost on a tangent if it wasn't for an editor," Arnett joked. "It's a perfect harmony!" Cue the "aww"s!
