Mary-Kate Olsen sparks fresh buzz during rare NYC outing with Vito Schnabel

Mary-Kate Olsen of the Olsen twins stepped out in NYC with Vito Schnabel, sparking speculation

Mary-Kate Olsen has sparked fresh romance speculation after a rare early-morning sighting in New York City with art dealer Vito Schnabel on February 19.

Photos first shared by gossip account DeuxMoi quickly made the rounds online, with reports claiming Schnabel was seen leaving Olsen’s residence before the pair were photographed walking together through Manhattan.

While the images ignited immediate chatter, neither party has addressed the nature of their relationship. Adding complexity to the rumors, Schnabel quietly married model Helena Althof in 2024, making any romantic narrative far from confirmed.

Olsen, long regarded as a master of quiet luxury, stayed true to form in an oversized black velvet coat layered over dark separates. She paired the look with Adidas Sambae sneakers and carried a chocolate-brown crocodile satchel from The Row, the luxury brand she co-founded with twin sister Ashley Olsen. Oversized sunglasses and a patterned scarf, styled in her signature fashion, completed the effortlessly polished ensemble.

Since her 2021 divorce from French banker Olivier Sarkozy, Olsen has kept her personal life intensely private, rarely stepping into the public eye outside of fashion commitments.

That discretion is precisely what keeps interest high: when Mary-Kate Olsen is spotted, even a simple Manhattan stroll instantly becomes headline-worthy.
