Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen now work primarily as fashion designers and businesswomen, building The Row together after stepping back from acting in the mid-2000s. They keep a deliberately discreet public profile, but their work continues—including the opening of The Row’s Paris store in 2024.
What are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen doing now?
Their documented professional focus is The Row, the fashion label they founded together. Us Weekly reported in June 2026 that Ashley had shifted her focus to the company, which she runs with Mary-Kate. The publication described Mary-Kate as more involved in creative work and Ashley as spending more time on operations and finance; that is a reported division of attention, not an official or necessarily permanent job-title breakdown.

The Row began in 2006 as a project to make a well-made white T-shirt, according to British Vogue. It grew into a broader fashion business, giving the sisters a shared career beyond the acting work that first made them famous.
How their work at The Row remains visible
The Paris store
A tangible example of their continuing work is The Row’s Paris store, which opened on September 24, 2024, at 1 rue du Mont Thabor. In a Vogue interview about the location, the sisters said they wanted the shop to feel connected to its neighborhood and welcoming to visitors, and discussed learning from customer responses as they developed it. Ashley said, “Their experience is as important to us as anything else we do,” referring to visitors’ experience in the store. Vogue’s report on The Row in Paris

Why they stepped away from acting
The sisters became widely known as children for sharing the role of Michelle Tanner on Full House, which ran from 1987 to 1995. They later pursued other acting projects, but Us Weekly reports that both stepped back from acting in the mid-2000s. Their subsequent work has centered on fashion rather than a return to regular screen roles. ABC News covered their fashion work in 2017
Why the Olsen sisters keep a low public profile
Their limited public presence does not mean they have disappeared from professional life. The reporting on The Row documents an active business, while their public comments describe discretion as a choice. In 2019, Mary-Kate told British Vogue: “But this is the way we chose to move forward in our lives: to not be in the spotlight, to really have something that speaks for itself.”

What is publicly known about their personal lives?
Public information about their private routines and home lives is limited, and the available reporting does not provide a comprehensive account of either sister’s current life away from work. Us Weekly reported that Ashley married artist Louis Eisner in December 2022 and had a child the following year. Those are reported personal details, not a full picture of her family life.
