Why ‘It’s Always Sunny’ for Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson: A Power Couple Who Juggle Four Hit TV Shows, a Winning Soccer Team and Ryan Reynolds


Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson on falling in love on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and raising a family through 'High Fidelity' and 'Wrexham.'

Olson, too, is a recurring guest star on Max’s “Hacks,” earning two consecutive Emmy nominations for playing the daughter of Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and helping that show secure an outstanding comedy win. They both wear multiple acting and producing hats — and Olson’s comedic chops and McElhenney’s business acumen are generating comparisons to another power couple from a previous golden age of TV: Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, at the height of their “I Love Lucy” prestige. But it’s also indicative of the message the two of them want to share with fans: that despite the glossy photos that accompany this feature, McElhenney and Olson are a very real couple who are proud of how vigorously they aim to make their relationship work.
