It's been over 20 years since Full House stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made their last television appearance, and since then, fans of the twins have wondered what they've been up to.

Thankfully, we have the pair's little sister Elizabeth Olsen to spill the tea.

The 36-year-old actress - best known for her roles in Marvel's WandaVision, as well as the MAX miniseries Love & Death - spoke on the latest episode of the Today with Jenna & Friends podcast about her famous family, specifically the twins.

For those in need of a reminder, Elizabeth, Mary-Kate and Ashley also share an older brother, Trent Olsen.

Despite appearing in some of his twin sisters' YouTube videos as a child, he has since gone on to work in production and has authored several comic books, according to PEOPLE Magazine.

The foursome also share two half-siblings - sister Courtney and brother Jake - from their father David Olsen's second marriage.

Naturally, coming from such an almighty brood means there are often subdivisions, with Elizabeth revealing this week that her twin sisters always come as a pair.

On the 26 March episode of the podcast, the on-screen star began by admitting: "I'm one of six. I loved it, especially being the baby. I really enjoyed it."

And of the dynamic between her, Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth continued: "I also really admire the partnership that they have and don't compete with it, in a way.

"It's something different," she told presenters Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush. "It's a really interesting thing to watch. I admire it. It's a different kind of connection."

The revelation has come as somewhat of a surprise to fans, being that the Olsen twins - who, since quitting showbiz have made names for themselves in the fashion design sphere - remain predominantly out of the spotlight.

The 38-year-old identical duo shot to fame as children, having been cast in kids television classics like Full House and The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley.

In 2004, however, following a final television appearance on Saturday Night Live, they quit the entertainment industry for good.

As we say, they've since launched their own high-end fashion brand, The Row, founded in 2006.

Debuting the collection during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, the twins specifically asked, however, for cameras and phones to be barred.

Addressing their famously offline stance, Ashley explained to Net-a-Porter in 2017: "We don't dive into that world. We don't have Instagram or Facebook."

Voicing her similar views to i-D in 2021, Mary-Kate added: "We were raised to be discreet people. I think that potentially that's just our aesthetic, our design preference."
