‘WandaVision’ Star Elizabeth Olsen Is Expecting Her First Child With Husband Robbie Arnett
Elizabeth Olsen has spent the better part of a decade bringing one of Marvel’s most emotionally complex characters to life, but the actress is now stepping into an entirely new role off screen. Known for her Emmy-nominated performance as Wanda Maximoff in ‘WandaVision’, Olsen has long kept her personal life shielded from the spotlight, making the latest news all the more meaningful for fans who have followed her journey both on and off camera.
Olsen and her husband, musician Robbie Arnett, have kept their relationship relatively private over the years, rarely speaking about their personal life in public interviews or appearances. That quiet approach to romance has defined the couple’s dynamic since the very beginning of their time together. The pair were first linked in early 2017 after reportedly meeting while vacationing in Mexico, and after several years of dating, Arnett popped the question in 2019. They then quietly tied the knot during the pandemic in 2020, with Olsen later clarifying that she never considered it a secret marriage, noting that people simply did not know about it at the time.
On Friday, June 12, People confirmed that the 37-year-old Emmy-nominated actress is expecting her first child with Arnett, the 34-year-old musician known as a member of the indie-pop band Milo Greene. The news surfaced after Olsen was recently spotted in Los Angeles, where she appeared to be showing a baby bump during a casual lunch outing at All Time restaurant, wearing a white button-down shirt left open at the bottom, and was photographed gently holding her stomach. Neither Olsen nor Arnett has publicly commented on the pregnancy, but the photos appear to confirm that their family is about to grow by one.
For a couple that has spent years quietly building a life away from the cameras, the milestone lands with particular warmth. In a rare candid moment, Olsen once described Arnett to podcast host Chelsea Handler, saying that his goal every day is to make her laugh, and calling him a sensitive, kind, and very good communicator. That glimpse into their private world gave fans a sense of just how grounded the relationship is beneath all the Marvel mythology surrounding the actress.
The timing of the news comes as Olsen remains one of the more fascinating figures in the entertainment industry. She has expressed openness to returning to the MCU, saying at a panel for her film ‘Eternity’, “It is something that I love, and it’s something I always want to return to.” She has also spoken about ‘VisionQuest’, the upcoming Disney+ series that will cap off the ‘WandaVision’ trilogy, telling Inverse that she only learned details about the project after spending time with Paul Bettany, and noting, “It really sounds like a trifecta between ‘Agatha All Along’, his show, ‘VisionQuest’, and what we made with ‘WandaVision’.”
With a baby on the way and a career that continues to expand far beyond the MCU, Olsen appears to be entering one of the most full chapters of her life yet. Whether Wanda Maximoff ever finds her way back to the screen or not, the real-life story playing out right now is one worth celebrating. For fans who have followed both the actress and the Scarlet Witch through grief, power, and transformation, what does it feel like to see Olsen step into this new chapter of motherhood?
