Meet Trent Olsen, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s older brother – who just got married
The twins made a rare public appearance alongside their sister Elizabeth Olsen at the wedding of older brother Trent, who just married Alexis Armistead
The three sisters recently reunited for their older brother Trent Olsen’s wedding to Alexis Armistead in the Hollywood Hills in May.
While we know a lot about the three Olsen sisters, less is known about their older brother, James Olsen, who goes by his middle name Trent. Here’s what we know about the low-key Olsen brother, who still appears close with his siblings.
Who are Trent Olsen’s parents?
Trent is the oldest of the Olsen siblings. He was born to parents Jarnette and David Olsen in May 1984, in Sherman Oaks, California. The 42-year-old goes by his middle name Trent, but his first name is actually James, according to People.
There are six Olsen siblings in total. Trent, Mary-Kate, Ashley and Elizabeth were born to Jarnette and David Olsen, who divorced in 1996. David then married his second wife McKenzie Olsen in 1996, and had two more kids, Courtney and Jake.
The youngest, Jake, who’s dabbled in modelling and acting, revealed to Runway magazine in 2016 what being raised in the family was like: “Growing up in our house was always interesting … there was a lot going on! I learned about respect from everyone in my family. In a family of six kids, you learn it’s not always about you.”
He added, “I love every chaotic moment I have when my family is all together. It’s a lot more normal than you would think … We all support each other’s dreams.”
