So, Taylor and Jake are the children of their father’s second marriage.
Once Ashley Olsen said:
Some twins feel like they need to compare themselves to each other, but we’re not that way. That’s because of my parents, though, and having six kids in the family.

There’s so many things that we could do.
Once, she also quoted:

In the list of collectibles, there are many unique T-shirts, school folders, key rings, posters, postcards, baseball caps, and various other items. Mary-Kate and Ashley’s movies featured advertisements for the club until 1998.
Olsen twins Smile:
In 2005, the Olsen twins stopped making a smiling face. In front of the camera, they pursued their lips together. However, these days they’ve advanced to full-on glassy-eyed stares that, in my opinion, are a bit creepy. Now their smile is very unexpecting to the camera and public. Well, you will be surprise to know that whenever they smile, it makes headlines.
You must want to know the reason why they stop smiling. As far as my research, there can be two possibilities. They explain both possibilities at some points in their interviews. So what we concluded is here.
Why 31- years olds do not want to smile in public? There is a good explanation for Mary-Kate and Ashley’s serious faces on the red carpet –
In one of her interviews, Mary-Kate said the duo became scared and nervous when they faced the camera. Additionally, she said that both sisters start squeezing each other hands to feel normal.
The other reason may be that the Olsen twins stopped smiling in public at some point in their lives, either because it wasn’t cool or because it was off-brand for them.
