How Ashley Olsen Kept Her Pregnancy A Secret — Even From Friends

etcanada.com:

When it comes to keeping your pregnancy out of the public eye, Ashley Olsen could teach a master class. The former child star-turned-fashionista was back in the headlines on Monday when it was revealed she and husband Louis Eisner had welcomed their first child together — and reportedly months ago at that.

She gave birth to a baby boy named Otto earlier this summer, a source told ET. The news was doubly surprising considering fans did not know the Row co-founder was expecting.

According to a source, even some of Ashley’s friends were out of the loop. “She kept her pregnancy secret from a lot of friends and colleagues,” the source said. “Only a small circle knew.” As for how she pulled it off, the source said that the new mom’s signature oversized outfits helped, as did the fact that the couple has been spending a lot of time in the Hamptons.

Of course, some important people who did know about the pregnancy were her family, including twin sister Mary-Kate Olsen. They are all “beyond excited to have a new addition to the family,” the source noted.
