Mary-Kate Olsen was pictured reuniting with former flame Sean Avery during her vacation in The Hamptons over Memorial Day weekend.
The actress and fashion designer, 37, and the retired hockey player, 44, were seen stopping by her new The Row store in Amagansett in snaps obtained by DeuxMoi.
Later they also went to visit their mutual friend, Real Housewives franchise executive producer Andy Cohen, 55.
Mary-Kate — who enjoyed a rare outing with her sister Elizabeth Olsen earlier this year — and Sean were briefly linked in 2007, and have remained friends in the years that followed.
The reunion comes four years after the Full House actress split from her ex-husband Olivier Sarkozy, 55, and two years after Sean’s estranged wife Hilary Rhoda, 37, filed for divorce.

The fashionista bundled up for the outing, wearing a brown coat over a long red shirt and black pants. She kept warm in a colorful scarf and wore a brown beanie on her head.
Meanwhile Sean kept it sporty in a black hoodie and grey sweatpants.
He completed his look with sneakers and a blue snapback.
Mary-Kate tied the knot with Sarkozy — who is the half-brother of Nicolas Sarkozy, the former President of France — in 2015.
The former couple had initially married during a small, intimate ceremony, with the former actress later petitioning for divorce in April 2020.
The day after filing, Mary-Kate had requested an emergency divorce order upon claiming that Sarkozy was forcing her to vacate their home, according to the U.S. Sun.
Nine months after splitting, their divorce was finalized in January 2021.
Although the two never had children of their own, the businesswoman had become stepmother to Olivier’s two kids, Margot and Julien, whom he welcomed from a previous marriage to Charlotte Bernard.

At the time of the divorce announcement, a source informed People about the reasonings behind the separation, stating that the topic of children was one of the issues. ‘A few years ago, having a baby was not a priority for her. This has changed.’
Another insider stated that her career was also a problem within the relationship.
‘Mary-Kate is extremely hard working and focused on her business,’ a source told the publication, adding that the French financier ‘would have loved to have a stay-at-home wife.’
Olivier recently sparked romance rumors with former Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps, 58, after the two enjoyed a cozy two-hour date in New York City.
Meanwhile, Sean and his model ex Hilary split in 2022 after seven years of marriage. They are parents to three-year-old son Nash.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star filed for divorce from the ex-New York Rangers member six years after her mom asked for a restraining order against the athlete and accused him of harassment.
According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the two signed a prenup before they tied the knot in 2015 and cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for their split.
As for their son, who was born in July 2020, she requested joint legal custody of the child, but asked for sole physical custody – while granting her ex visitation rights.

Sean faced numerous controversies during his 13 seasons in the NHL, and was accused of bullying players on and off the ice, slapped with numerous fines for his ill-mannered comments, and traded from team to team due to his ‘lack of respect.’
He was also suspended in 2008 for ‘conduct detrimental to the league or the game of hockey’ after he publicly slammed two other NHL players for dating his ex-girlfriends.
In the years after he stopped playing the sport, he struggled to find work – going from job to job in various different fields including real estate, the restaurant business, advertising, and fashion.
He joined Dancing With the Stars in 2014, but was kicked off after the second episode due to an alleged fight with producers.
He was also set to star in the off-Broadway play Negative Is Positive in 2014, but reportedly walked off the set a few days before opening after getting into an altercation with a lighting director.
Page Six reported that he wasn’t able to hold a position due to his ‘hot temper and inability to get along with others.’
In February 2022, he briefly attempted to return to hockey when the Orlando Solar Bears signed Sean – however, the team released him two days later and did not play him in a single game.
His actions seemed to cause a major wedge between Hilary and her mother, Marianne Rhoda, who did not come to their wedding.

Sean was charged with criminal mischief in 2019, after he crashed his scooter into venture capitalist Jonathan Schulhof and his wife Kimberly Kravis’ minivan while their three kids were inside.
Hilary previously defended her ex-husband to ML Hamptons, explaining, ‘He gets a bad rep sometimes because he isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
‘And I think that’s one of his best qualities. Sometimes it can hurt him, because some people don’t understand his humor, or they don’t understand that he’s not being totally serious.
‘Some people misunderstand him and think he’s a jerk, but if you know him or you’re friends with him, he’s one of the kindest people and one of the gentlest people. He’d do anything for anybody, and he’s very generous.’
