The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-stars met on the FX show in 2005 and married in 2008After over 15 years of marriage, Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney still don't agree on everything.
The Hollywood couple spoke with Variety for a recent cover story, opening up about everything from their almost 17-year partnership to parenting their two boys. The High Potential actress, 49, revealed that she's still mad at the Lost actor, 48, for doing one thing that they agreed they wouldn't do: show their children's faces in public.
"We'd talked about not showing their faces,' Olson told the outlet. 'I remember going through puberty — no kid should be seen publicly before they're ready to. Everyone's got their insecurities, and it's not their fault that we chose this path and that we're famous. Rob went rogue and put them in a f------ documentary! I'm still unhappy about that.'

'The kids love it,' McElhenney said, before continuing to share his thoughts on the subject. 'I have a different perspective. Millions of people across the world say, 'We love to watch them!''
Olson retorted, 'I don't care about them — I care about my kids! We're still fighting about it.'
The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia costars, who met on the FX show in 2005 and married in 2008, welcomed their first son, Axel, in 2010. Their second son, Leo, joined the family in 2012.
'Our philosophy is to raise our child in safety, confidence and happiness; to teach him that the world is a good place, rather than a scary place,' Olson told Healthy Mom & Baby right before the birth of Axel.

McElhenney shared that he and his wife also turn to their support system — which includes costars Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman — for guidance and parenting advice.
'They raised their children in very specific circumstances and they raised three kids who could not be better human beings: kind, respectful, driven, courteous. We defer to them,' he told Fatherly in 2020.
The two boys have spent part of their childhoods visiting their parents on various sets, including It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Mick, which Olson starred in and produced.
'My kids are one hundred percent my priority, so I don't take things that will take me away from them too much,' Olson told reporters during a press junket for Finding Dory in 2016. 'I always want to be there for bedtime."
