Kathy Ireland ‘stalked’ doctor husband before starting romance

Supermodel and business mogul Kathy Ireland has had a fairytale marriage, but the way it started might surprise many.

In a recent revelation, Ireland playfully admitted that she “stalked” her husband, Dr.

Greg Olsen, before they officially started dating.

While her choice of words was lighthearted, the story behind their romance is one of determination, admiration, and a connection that has stood the test of time.

Love at First Sight—For One of Them

Before becoming a successful entrepreneur, Ireland was already a well-known supermodel, gracing magazine covers and runways.

However, her love life took a turn when she met Olsen, a practicing physician.

Unlike the glamorous world she was used to, Olsen’s field of medicine intrigued Ireland, and she found herself drawn to him before he even knew it.

“I just knew he was the one,” Ireland shared in a candid interview.

“So, I kept finding reasons to be around him, just hoping he’d notice me.”

A Persistent Approach Pays Off

Rather than waiting for fate to intervene, Ireland took matters into her own hands.

She humorously described the lengths she went to in order to be in Olsen’s orbit, from coincidental “run-ins” to finding creative excuses to start conversations with him.

Her persistence eventually paid off when Olsen finally took notice and asked her out.

Their connection quickly deepened, and what started as a playful pursuit soon turned into a serious and lasting relationship.

Ireland’s willingness to take the initiative proved to be the foundation of a love story that has endured for decades.

Building a Life Together

Now married for over three decades, Ireland and Olsen have built a strong family life while balancing their demanding careers.

Ireland transitioned from supermodel to a powerhouse entrepreneur, while Olsen has continued his respected career in medicine.

Despite their busy schedules, the couple remains committed to their partnership, proving that unconventional beginnings can lead to lifelong happiness.

A Lesson in Taking Chances

Ireland’s story is a testament to going after what (or who) you want in life.

Her persistence, confidence, and belief in love helped forge a relationship that has lasted the test of time.

“Sometimes, you just know when you meet the right person,” she said.

“And when you do, it’s okay to make the first move.”

While Ireland’s “stalking” confession was all in good fun, it serves as a lighthearted reminder that love stories don’t always follow the expected path—but they can still lead to happy endings.
