Age difference aside – Olsen is 26 and Sarkozy is 43 – the duo appeared relaxed and enamored with each other as they engaged in some light PDA. Of her relationship with an older man, Olsen recently told the Wall Street Journal: “Everyone has an opinion. I find it’s better to focus on what’s in front of you and to keep putting one foot in front of the other.” Mary-Kate Olsen Strolls with Olivier Sarkozy Olsen and Sarkozy – who is the managing director of global asset management firm the Carlyle Group and is half-brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy – have been previously spotted strolling with his daughter in the West Village over the summer and, earlier last year, enjoying another Knicks game.
