The Olsens know what they want from a man and being the same age with them is not on that list. After Mary-Kate Olsen made headlines for dating the 45-year-old brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, it’s now her twin’s turn: Ashley is dating Bennett Miller.

Miller, who is a famous film director with hits like “Moneyball” with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, is 47 years old. Ashley is 28, if you wish to keep count.

Rumors about a possible romantic relationship between them first started making the rounds earlier this year, when they attended together the funeral ceremony of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. However, because of the somber occasion, they did not gain too much traction online.

The other day, the two were spotted together again, this time leaving no room for doubt that they are more than friends because they were leaving her Manhattan apartment after supposedly spending the night together.

The photo attached to this article was snapped on this occasion. An insider tells Us Weekly that the two have actually been dating since February, right after they were introduced by a common acquaintance. They hit it off instantly and have been inseparable ever since.

Before Miller, Ashley dated Oliver Peoples CEO David Schulte, 44, but they broke it off in January because it just “didn’t work” anymore.

Ashley and Bennett might still be in the early stages of the relationship, but Mary-Kate and fiancé Olivier Sarkozy have been going strong for about 2 years. They became engaged in March this year, with reports saying that she’s itching to get married because she wants to have babies as soon as possible.

This will be Sarkozy’s second marriage, and he also has children from this previous union. Inside sources have been telling the glossies that being with Mary-Kate “has made [Olivier] a better father,” a thing she also noticed, hence the desire to have his babies.

Regardless of the rumors and of all this talk about the age difference, unlike most celebrities, the Olsen twins manage to live their life mostly without making headlines.

After rising to fame in film as child actors, the twins went through hell as teenagers, complete with developing eating disorders and lots of negative media attention.

They managed to overcome all these obstacles and forge for themselves a very successful career as fashion designers. Today, their label The Row is one of the most expensive and appreciated fashion lines with a celebrity’s name on them ever.
