Jarnette Olsen, over the years, has proven to be a solid pillar in her home. She has had to handle many challenges with her ex-husband and four children, all in showbiz. Like every mother, she has always given her children the best.

Jarnette is the mother of twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, famous actors and fashion icons. She is also the mother of Elizabeth Olsen, popularly known as the Scarlet Witch. Her only son Trent Olsen and husband, David Brian Olsen, are also actors.

Jarnette Olsen: Early Life and Career

Jarnette Olsen, born on February 22, 1954, in Toluca, Los Angeles, had a relatively obscure early life and childhood. While details about her upbringing remain scarce, it is known that she comes from a mixed ethnicity background with American ancestry. Her parents are David Jones and Mary Jones. Growing up, Jarnette spent the majority of her life in Southern California.

Due to Jarnette’s inclination towards privacy, little information about her personal and professional experiences is unavailable. However, we know that she was a ballet dancer. During that time, she established numerous connections within the entertainment industry. These connections were her children’s ticket to fame.

Jarnette Olsen’s Role in the Career of Her Twins

Jarnette Olsen played a crucial role in her daughters’ careers, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, born on June 13, 1986. She acted as their manager during the twins’ early years in the entertainment industry. While she stepped down from the managerial position in 1999, Jarnette was supportive in her daughters’ lives.

Mary-Kate and Ashley debuted in feature films with “It Takes Two” in 1995, starring alongside Steve Guttenberg and Kirstie Alley. This was after the conclusion of “Full House.” During the same year, they also launched a popular video series called “You’re Invited to Mary-Kate & Ashley’s,” which released new episodes until 2000.

Both sisters expressed a growing interest in fashion and aspired to pursue careers in the industry. Mary-Kate, in particular, gained recognition as a fashion icon for her distinctive “homeless” appearance, a style reminiscent of the boho-chic fashion popularized by figures like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller in the United Kingdom.

Referred to as “ashcan” or “bohemian-bourgeois” by fashion journalists, the ensemble typically includes oversized sunglasses, boots, loose sweaters, and flowing skirts, combining high-end and affordable fashion elements. In 2006, the Olsen twins were chosen as the faces of the prestigious fashion label Badgley Mischka.

Jarnette Was Accused of Pushing Her Children Into the Spotlight

In a 2012 interview with The Guardian, Elizabeth Olsen, Jarnette’s youngest child, discussed their family upbringing. She refuted that their parents, David and Jarnette Olsen, pushed them into the spotlight. Elizabeth clarified that their parents had minimal involvement in her sisters’ careers beyond assisting them in securing their initial job.

While they guided them in connecting with the right professionals to handle aspects such as being child stars, managing assets, and running production companies, they never claimed to have the expertise to take on these responsibilities.

Elizabeth stressed that their parents gave Mary-Kate and Ashley autonomy to manage their brand and careers. She emphasized that her parents were not involved in stage management at all.

The actress added that her sisters have been running their affairs since they turned 18. As a Marvel star, Elizabeth acknowledged the independent and self-driven nature of her sisters’ professional endeavors.

What About Jarnette Olsen’s Love Life?

Jarnette Olsen, previously known as Jarnette Jones, was formerly married to David Olsen, an actor and stuntman. Due to their privacy preferences, there isn’t much information regarding their romantic relationship.

However, we know that the couple exchanged vows on August 6, 1977, in the presence of their loved ones. Sadly, after being married for 18 years, the parents of four children went through a divorce.

Why Jarnette Olsen and David Went Their Separate Ways

The fallout between Jarnette and her ex-husband can be traced back to when the popular show “Full House” was ending. At eight years old, the twins gained significant demand and were poised for a major movie career. Jarnette, acting as their full-time manager, and her ex-husband David Olsen worked together behind the scenes to manage their daughters’ careers. 

However, as “Full House” concluded, they began to have divergent ideas on sustaining the girls’ success and differed in their approach to handling the financial aspects of their growing fortune. These disagreements ultimately led to their separation and subsequent divorce.

Following his divorce from Jarnette Olsen, David Olsen entered a new marriage with McKenzie Olsen on March 10, 1996. They were blessed with two children named Taylor Olsen and Jake Olsen.

However, their marriage ended in 2014 when David and McKenzie divorced. We can’t tell if Jarnette moved on herself as she prefers to live a very private life.

Jarnette Olsen’s Net Worth

Jarnette Olsen’s net worth is estimated to be more than $100,000. She is believed to primarily amassed this wealth through her career as a professional ballet dancer. However, she has not disclosed any details about additional sources of income or ventures that may have contributed to her financial status.

Jarnette has, without a doubt, done well for herself and her children. Well, every mother would, won’t they? Anne Hathaway is another celebrity mum dedicated to giving her children the best life.
