Well, here's something you don't see every day—or ever, for that matter.

In a truly rare sighting, Ashley Olsen was seen stepping out of her apartment building in New York City alongside her beau Bennett Miller. The former Full House star, 28, was donning her usual oversize yet chic wardrobe as her 47-year-old boyfriend kept it ultra-cazh in a T-shirt and jeans as he led the way to a waiting SUV.

The duo have been rumored to be dating since the top of the year, but have (quite successfully) managed to stay out of the public eye throughout their relationship.

They did, however, make a somber public appearance together earlier this year, when they supported one another at the February funeral of late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Miller worked with Hoffman in the critically acclaimed 2005 flick Capote, which he directed. Since then, Miller helmed the Oscar-nominated sports movie Moneyball starring Brad Pitt, and the upcoming film Foxcatcher, starring Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo, which is slated to hit theaters in November.

Olsen's relationship with Miller began shortly after her split from then-boyfriend David Schulte, businessman and CEO of luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples. "He was a great guy and cute, but it didn't work out," one insider told Us Weekly, who broke the story.
