The famously private Olsen twins made a rare public appearance to celebrate their older brother Trent Olsen marrying Alexis Armistead in a Hollywood Hills ceremony that brought the entire family together.
Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, both 40, stepped out for the special occasion, which took place in May 2026. The couple shared wedding photos on Instagram on June 25, giving fans an uncommon look at the typically media-shy sisters.
The wedding pictures show the former child stars standing alongside their newly blended family, all dressed in coordinated black formalwear that matched the event’s sophisticated aesthetic.
The Olsen Twins Make a Rare Family Appearance
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have largely stayed away from public events since retiring from acting more than a decade ago. Their appearance at Trent’s wedding marks one of the few times they have been seen at a family gathering in recent years.
The fashion designers, who now run the luxury brand The Row, posed for professional family photos with the bride and groom. Ashley Olsen stood close to Alexis Armistead, who held her bridal bouquet, while Mary-Kate Olsen positioned herself between their father David Olsen and Ashley’s husband Louis Eisner.
The twins matched in long black gowns with their blonde hair styled in loose waves, maintaining their signature understated elegance. Most family members also dressed in black formalwear, with the bride and flower girl being the only ones wearing white.
The newlyweds captioned their wedding photo with a simple “Family” followed by a white heart emoji.
Who Is Alexis Armistead, Trent Olsen’s New Wife?
Alexis Armistead, now Alexis Armistead-Olsen, works as an interior designer who goes by @designaka on Instagram. Her professional bio describes her style as “Chic & Unique Design” with a love for “Whimsical Drama. Scale. Textures. Green Velvet Enthusiast. Sucker for chinoiserie”.
Trent Olsen shared in a February 2023 Instagram post that he and Alexis had known each other for more than 20 years before reconnecting romantically. He wrote about how their paths crossed through overlapping social circles over the years, with long phone calls but rare in-person meetings.
“The first time we made plans to hang out, I requested it be a date,” Trent shared. “Which resulted in many, many more”.
The wedding brought together multiple generations of the Olsen family. The guest list included Elizabeth Olsen and her husband Robbie Arnett, half-siblings Courtney Taylor Olsen and Jake Olsen, and Ashley’s spouse Louis Eisner.
Who Is Trent Olsen?
Trent Olsen, 42, is the oldest sibling in the Olsen family and the firstborn of parents David Olsen and Jarnette Jones. Unlike his famous sisters, Trent has chosen a life away from the spotlight, working primarily as a DJ and comics writer.
He appeared in a few of his sisters’ early projects, including “The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley” and “You’re Invited to Mary-Kate & Ashley’s Sleepover Party”. However, he decided against pursuing an acting career.
Trent graduated from the University of Southern California in 2006 and has worked as a writer for Storm King Productions. He also serves as editor-in-chief of Rogue Matter, a position he has held since 2021. His work includes writing screenplays for the 2009 television movie “Model Behavior” and the 2023 short film “Leaving Yellowstone”.
The Olsen Family Comes Together
The wedding marked a significant family reunion that brought together siblings from both of David Olsen’s marriages. David and his first wife Jarnette, who divorced in 1996, share Trent, the twins, and Elizabeth. David and his second wife McKenzie share Courtney, 29, and Jake, 28.
One family photo captured the full group together, including Mary-Kate, Ashley, Elizabeth, Courtney, and Jake, creating a rare complete family portrait.
The celebration also featured a touching moment when Mary-Kate Olsen embraced her brother Trent in a family photo, highlighting the close bond between the siblings despite their different paths in life.
