The Truth About Elizabeth Olsen's Relationship With Robbie Arnett

While you may know Elizabeth Olsen as the younger sister of the Olsen twins, chances are you also know her from her own work. After starring in a series of independent films, Olsen shot to superstardom with her role as Wanda/Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her 2021 Disney+ Marvel series, "WandaVision," was a huge success. 

Even though Olsen is one of Hollywood's biggest stars, she tends to keep her private life private. As Vanity Fair noted, she's been incredibly successful at keeping herself under the radar. However, as big Olsen fans may already know, the actress is actually in a long-term relationship with musician Robbie Arnett; in fact, in 2019, the couple got engaged (via People). But since Olsen is so private, not much is known about the pair's relationship. Curious to find out more about this couple? Here is the truth about Elizabeth Olsen's relationship with Robbie Arnett.

According to reports from E! News, Elizabeth Olsen first met her partner Robbie Arnett in February 2017 while on holiday in Mexico. Talk about a glamorous locale for a first meeting! 

It seems that ever since their first encounter, the couple has been going strong. Just one month later, an insider told the publication that the relationship had moved pretty fast. "They are in an exclusive relationship and Lizzie is excited about him," the source revealed. It sounds like both Olsen and Arnett realized fairly quickly that they were right for each other. As the insider added, "It's very new though, but they seem to like each other a lot already." The source went on to describe Arnett as a "great guy." Wow, sounds like this couple was super lucky to cross paths while on holiday — it almost sounds too good to be true!

After meeting in early 2017, Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett waited a few months before making their new relationship publicly official. While they were spotted a few times together, they didn't appear on the red carpet as an item until September. Additionally, their first public outing had been in March, when Olsen had been spotted with her arm in Arnett's while they strolled through New York looking very happy and fashionable (via E! News).

Then, in September of 2017, as E! News reported, Olsen and Arnett appeared together at the Gershwin Emmy Party in Los Angeles. As the Daily Mail shared at the time, the couple were seen arm in arm looking very much "in love" at the party. Olsen wore a romantic maxi white dress, while her new boyfriend sported a sheer button-up top, showing off a lot of chest! Fans were excited to see this pair finally feeling comfortable heading out to events as a couple.

Elizabeth Olsen's partner, Robbie Arnett has a creative career: he's one-fourth of the indie-pop band Milo Greene. And as it turns out, Olsen is a pretty big fan of his music. In an interview on the radio show Sway in the Morning in August 2017, she gave his band a shout out. When asked about her favorite music, she said proudly, "My boyfriend's in a cool band called Milo Greene." When asked, "Did you just shamelessly plug your boyfriend's band?" she replied, "Yes I did, because I really like 'em!" She added coyly, "And I really like him!"

Olsen went on to explain that she'd initially started to like Arnett after hearing his music. "I'm a groupie, yay!" she joked. The interviewer then played some of the band's music as Olsen looked increasingly embarrassed. She confessed, "I'm seriously sweating, he's going to be so embarrassed."

As Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett's relationship got more serious, they took a trip together to Italy. At the time, Olsen posted several images on her since-deleted Instagram account. In one picture, the couple were seen grinning during a festival in Siena. Another set of photos saw the couple at a romantic Italian dinner party.

As Metro reported, the trip took place in the summer of 2018. At the time, Olsen also posted a collage made of adorable, intimate Polaroids from the trip, which she captioned with the couple emoji. The photos showed the couple hanging out in a luxurious pool surrounded by palm trees.

The couple didn't spend the entire trip on their own, either, as they actually attended a weekend celebration hosted by designer Rosetta Getty in Tuscany. Then, in 2019, Olsen and Arnett took another trip, this time to Mallorca in Spain. The pair were seen on a private boat ride, relaxing and enjoying the views (via Daily Mail). We admit it — we're pretty jealous! By the looks of things, Olsen and Arnett have had some lovely trips together!

While Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett do spend some of their time taking luxurious holidays, they've also spent some time traveling for charity work. As Olsen told InStyle, she'd happened to meet the founders of a charity called The Latitude Project when she traveled to Nicaragua in 2014. "The Tynanas were working with impoverished local communities that needed infrastructure support," she explained. After that, Olsen ended up volunteering, and in 2016, she went on her second trip with The Latitude Project.

Once Olsen met Arnett, she apparently enlisted him in her charity work as well. The pair were featured in a 2018 Instagram post by The Latitude Project; the foundation posted an image of the couple installing water filters on a "recent trip." The foundation also congratulated Arnett on his band's new album in their post and wrote, "To be extremely musically talented is one thing but match that with being a damn good human and you've got a winner."

In an interview posted on Facebook, Olsen and Arnett spoke about their experiences. "It was my first trip to Nicaragua," Arnett said. "And it was ... something I'll never forget."

About one year after their first meeting, Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett took the huge step of moving in together in early 2018. Olsen gave James Corden some details about life with Arnett on "The Late Late Show." She explained that she and Arnett had moved into her house in Los Angeles a few months earlier. However, the musician had decided to keep his old apartment and sublease it. After he moved in, they decided to move his old mattress into their new place for the guest bedroom. Corden even showed an adorable photo of Olsen posing on the mattress in the moving van.

Actor David Tennant, who was also a guest on the show, joked, "Now there's no going back, that's it." Olsen replied with a devilish grin, "That's my plan." How cute! As Corden noted, the move signifies a "big commitment" in the relationship. It's clear that Olsen is thrilled to have him there. Plus, she got to keep his old mattress for her guest bedroom!

Moving in with a romantic partner is one thing, but getting engaged is a real sign of commitment. To that end, in 2019, Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett reportedly took the next step in their relationship and, as they say, "put a ring on it." The news of their engagement broke in July of 2019, courtesy of an unnamed source who told People of the development.

Shortly after word of the engagement was out of the bag, Olsen appeared in public with her brand new engagement ring; the first sighting of the ring came when Olsen was grocery shopping in Los Angeles. The ring is, unsurprisingly, chic, understated, and totally gorgeous. As the Daily Mail reported, the ring features a bright emerald stone surrounded by tiny diamonds.

It's unknown how exactly Arnett popped the question, as he and Olsen are a pretty private pair.

By all accounts, Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett are still going strong; in fact, they're constantly seen together. One thing that immediately jumps out about images of the couple out and about is just how laid back they both seem to be. In fact, they seem to love living the quintessential LA lifestyle.

In August of 2019, the pair were seen visiting a local gym in Los Angeles, wearing casual gym wear (via the Daily Mail). Then in 2020, Olden and Arnett were spotted again at a natural food market (via the Daily Mail). On another occasion, they were seen browsing the stalls, takeaway coffees in hand, at a farmer's market. And on yet another day, the couple were spotted in casual clothes grabbing a takeout (via Daily Mail). 

Of course, like many other LA couples, Olsen and Arnett have also been seen hiking together in Hollywood Hills (via the Daily Mail). Their life seems to be filled with wholesome fresh foods, long hikes, and couples' workouts. We admit it — we're envious of their easy-going, laid-back LA lifestyle.

Since Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett moved in together in 2018, it comes as no surprise that they spent their COVID-19 lockdown together. However, for this couple, all the extra time together didn't seem to be a problem. As Olsen told Parade at the time, "I don't have kids; I have a responsibility to my family, and that's it ... so, it was a really lovely time to be OK with doing nothing."

And by the looks of things, Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett had plenty of fun during lockdown, making silly videos together for Olsen's Instagram account (which has since been deleted). In one video, the couple stare into the camera while driving and lip syncing to an old Christmas song. In another video, Olsen pretends to be modeling a primer before the camera pans to Arnett playing the background music on his guitar. One bizarre video features Arnett dealing with dead rats as a mustachioed character. "Robbie keeps wanting me to film him taking out dead rats," Olsen whispers to the camera. Arnett then pretends to answer the phone, saying, "Jerry's pest control." Hilarious!

Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett seem to be really going back to basics during the pandemic. As Olsen explained in an essay for The Hollywood Reporter, "growing and harvesting my own produce was a lifelong dream." She went on to explain that she and Arnett hired a landscaper who helped them make her dream a reality. However, as the pandemic went on, Olsen found it difficult to keep up her gardening. "Looking back now on the past five months or so," she wrote, "my experience gardening has truly ebbed and flowed with my own emotional processing of the lockdown."

She explained that the garden thrived when she felt productive and happy, and that it became overgrown and out of control when she felt down. Arnett, of course, was there through it all. As she recalled, they would often spend afternoons sitting in the garden with friends. "We would walk around picking and eating tomatoes, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and bagging up lemons for the road," she wrote.

Heather Trilling, who remodeled the couples' backyard, explained to Architectural Digest,"They love entertaining, relaxing by the pool, and taking walks on the hiking trail just above their property."

While Elizabeth Olsen doesn't mind mentioning Robbie Arnett in interviews, she doesn't go out of her way to talk about her relationship. In fact, it's pretty clear that she likes to keep her personal life as private as possible. As Olsen explained to Harper's Bazaar, she's never been a fan of social media; when she did have Instagram, she never really felt comfortable with her more personal posts. "Every day I think I should delete it," she explained." She even said, "I find myself putting something private up there and I think, 'This is stupid, why did I do that? I should delete it immediately.'"

Additionally, Olsen told the The New York Times, "I just think about creating as healthy of a life as possible." She also said, "I really do love my job, and I'm happy doing just that and the charity I do, and being as private as possible." As for Arnett, he keeps things private, too. His Twitter account is mainly filled with work-related content, and his Instagram has very few posts. In other words, they seem to be a great match!

Even though Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett remodeled their yard in LA during the COVID lockdown, they ended up moving to England midway through the pandemic. As Olsen explained on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," they made the move in late 2020. The country was under pretty strict regulations at the time due to the virus, so Olsen and Arnett had a low-key New Year's Eve. "I was home, with my man Robbie," she revealed. "We set an alarm to make sure we didn't miss midnight and I actually put on a dress, it was really exciting."

Olsen also spoke about living in the U.K. with Arnett on the podcast, Table Manners with Jessie Ware. She adorably described Arnett as her "man-guy-partner," then explained that the couple were living outside of London in the quaint village of Richmond in a cottage "right by the water." By the sound of things, the experience was nothing short of idyllic. "We're living out this British dream," as Olsen put it.

Apparently, Arnett had started writing too, "not music, like, normal writing," and the cottage was the perfect home office.

By all accounts, Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett's temporary move to the U.K. in 2020 was a huge success. In fact, they enjoyed their time so much, they even started plotting a permanent move.

On the podcast Table Manners with Jessie Ware, Olsen explained that she'd worked in London years ago and had fallen in love with it. "I have such an affinity for England already," she gushed. Apparently, Arnett felt the same way. "Robbie and I both just feel so connected to England," as Olsen put it.

Additionally, it was the British people and their easy-going humor that made the country so appealing to Olsen and Arnett. Apparently, they were already looking into visa options to make the move permanent. "Now we want to write a rom-com [set in England] because we don't wanna leave," Olsen added. Sounds like this couple will do just about anything to extend their stay!

So, Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett have been talking about moving to England. But as it turns out, they may also be thinking about starting a family. Olsen has previously opened up about her desire for kids in the future, and now that Arnett is in the picture, it may be that starting a family is a big part of their plans.

In 2017, Olsen spoke to Modern Luxury about buying her first house. "I was also thinking," she said, "There's this small room upstairs, which would be good for a kid." She clarified, "I don't know where things will lead, but I do think about it in that way: 'I think I could raise kids here'" (via People). Sounds like for Olsen, kids are definitely part of the future plan. So, who knows? Maybe in a few years, Olsen and Arnett will be settled down in the U.K. with a child or two!

In June 2021, Elizabeth Olsen appeared on Variety's Actors on Actors with Kaley Cuoco. During the video conversation, Olsen revealed that she and Robbie Arnett were apparently already married when she referred to him as her "husband." While discussing the decor in the bathroom where she was sitting, Olsen commented, "I also just noticed that my husband put 'Little Miss Magic.' You know, the 'Little Miss' books? They're these classic books but 'magic' because of 'WandaVision' because he's such a f***ing cutie!"

Just one week later, Olsen and Arnett were spotted in New York City wearing what appeared to be wedding bands (via Daily Mail). According to Us Weekly, Olsen and Arnett actually tied the knot some time in 2020. As of 2022, Arnett and Olsen are still going strong. In January 2022, the pair were spotted on yet another walk — once again, sporting their wedding rings. Talk about a well-kept secret!
