Jodie Sweetin’s bond with former Full House co-stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen has evolved significantly over the years. The actress, now 44, shared her thoughts on the Tuesday, April 21, episode of the “McBride Rewind” podcast, revealing the last time she spoke to the Olsen twins.
Childhood Friendship and Shared Adventures
Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on the beloved sitcom, recalled her close relationship with the twins, who portrayed Michelle Tanner. “I loved them. I was really close to Ashley and Mary-Kate … from the beginning,” she said. “I would go to their room and hang out and play with them.”
She fondly remembered their shared experiences, such as spending nights at her house, visiting her cabin, and going on adventures like horseback riding and trips to Disneyland. “I’ve got pictures of us playing dress up at my house, like, they’re 3 [and] I’m 6, like, just kid stuff and I loved it,” Sweetin shared.
The Evolution of Their Relationship
Sweetin and the rest of the original Full House cast reunited for Netflix’s Fuller House revival, but the Olsen twins were not part of the cast. The twins, now both 39, have since built a renowned fashion empire and stepped back from the Hollywood spotlight.
When asked about her current relationship with the twins, Sweetin said, “We haven’t talked.” She explained that after Full House and growing up, the twins had taken an extremely different trajectory than the rest of the cast. “People say, ‘Oh, well, do you guys not talk? Is it bad?’ No, they were 8 years old when the show ended, and we all went our separate ways,” she added.
Reflections on the Past and Future
Sweetin reflected on the significance of their childhood friendship and the impact it had on her life. “It was a special time, and I’m grateful for those memories,” she said. She also expressed her hope that the twins would continue to thrive in their careers and personal lives.
Despite the passage of time and the different paths they’ve taken, Sweetin remains grateful for the memories they shared. “I’m proud of what we accomplished together and the friendships we built,” she concluded.
