That’s what unnamed [sources told _Us Weekly_](http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/mary-kate-olsen-27-engaged-to-olivier-sarkozy-44-2014282 "undefined")_._ On Monday the star, who hasn’t confirmed the rumors, was spotted with what looks like an engagement ring of [J.Lo proportions.](http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-style/pictures/best-celebrity-engagement-rings-of-all-time-2012132/20790 "undefined") If the engagement rumors are true, that means Olsen will become a stepmother to the 44-year-old banker’s (and half brother to former French president Nicolas Sarkozy) children, Julien, 12, and Margo, 10. Sometimes it’s hard for us to forget that the 27-year-old fashion designer isn’t a catchphrase-loving toddler or child detective anymore. And it’s especially hard when we see pictures like this: Olsen’s camp have not yet responded to TIME’s request for confirmation. We’ll keep you posted. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/12381/mary-kate-olsen-olivier-sarkozy-engaged/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/12381/mary-kate-olsen-olivier-sarkozy-engaged/"},"headline":"Is Mary-Kate Olsen Engaged?
