NEWLY engaged MARY-KATE OLSEN is getting not just a husband – she’s gaining a type of father figure, according to relationship experts.
The former “Full House” star’s parents split up when she was just 9, and experts agree that trauma may have influenced the 27-year-old’s decision to wed Frenchman Olivier Sarkozy, the 44-year-old banker she’s been dating since 2012.
“When couples divorce, children most often live with their mothers, so they have an emotional need to find daddy in their lives,” psychotherapist Dr. Jamie Turndorf, aka Dr. Love, told The ENQUIRER.
For Mary-Kate, Sarmkozy “represents a father figure – a man who’s safe and trustworthy and can protect her,” added Dr. Turndorf, author of the best-seller “Kiss Your Fights Good-bye,” who has not treated Olsen.
