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. According to People, the 39-year-old goes by his middle name Trent, but his real name is actually James.

How many Olsen children are there?

There are six Olsen siblings in total. Trent, Mary-Kate and 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.”

What does Trent Olsen do?

Per his IMDB, he’s instead been doing some behind the scenes work as a writer on a short film called Leaving Yellowstone, on the TV movie Model Behavior, and on the upcoming short, Rambler.

According to People, the University of Southern California graduate also worked at film, TV and podcast production house Storm King Productions in 2014, and authored several comics between 2014 to 2016.

His love life

What has Amber Heard been up to in 2024, since the Johnny Depp trial?

“It’s crazy to think I met this person over 20 years ago with plenty of overlapping social circles, but very little time spent together,” he said, finishing the caption with, “I love you and look forward to seeing what all the next phases have in store … including my nerd s*** that’s definitely starting to rub off on you.”

He was the inspiration behind one of Mary-Kate and Ashley’s business ventures

Sweetly, one of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s lifestyle brands, Elizabeth and James, is named after their two siblings, as reported in People.

The love is clearly reciprocated.

“I always felt that having older twin sisters was an advantage,” Elizabeth previously told Harper’s Bazaar UK. “I felt very clear about how I was going to navigate lots of things because of watching them. I also felt very protected.”
