The Los Angeles-based Finding Santa actress, Jodie Sweetin, who is widely known for playing Stephanie Tanner in Jeff Franklin’s ABC sitcom Full House, recently opened up about her relationship with her co-stars Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, as per E! News.
The 44-year-old Jodie Sweetin, who has been married to Mescal Wasilewski since 2022, appeared on the McBride Rewind podcast hosted by Josh McBride on April 21, 2026, and discussed her relationship with her Full House co-actors, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. Jodie said:
“I think after Full House and growing up and everything, they’ve had an extremely different trajectory than any of the rest of us.”
She continued and added:
“People say, ‘Oh, well, do you guys not talk? Is it bad?’ No, they were 8 years old when the show finished. We weren’t as close as we were. I didn’t see them all the time.”
While talking to McBride about how it was her “formative years” filming for Full House, Jodie Sweetin said:
“You’re just like, ‘Oh they don’t have as much recollection as maybe I do. I was 5 to 13—all of my elementary, middle school, quote unquote growing up experience. So, it was impactful. It was all I ever knew. They did it and then, you know, maybe had a like few years of really remembering it and then moved on and did a whole host of other things in their life.”
During her conversation on the podcast, Jodie also shared how Ashley and Mary-Kate have stayed away from the limelight for over ten years after Full House came to an end in 1995. She mentioned that while they have been a part of the fashion industry, they have focused more on their brand, The Row.

“I mean, I’ve got pictures of us playing dress up at my house, they’re 3, I’m 6—just kid stuff. And I loved it.”
