What George Harrison's Widow Olivia Arias Looks Like Today
Legendary Beatles guitarist George Harrison was married twice in his life, with drastically different results. First, George Harrison married model Pattie Boyd in 1966, though they ultimately divorced in 1977 under rather messy circumstances (Pattie Boyd looks stunning nowadays). The very next year, George tied the knot with second wife Olivia Harrison (née Arias) shortly after the birth of their son, Dhani Harrison. George and Olivia's marriage lasted up until the former Beatle's tragic death (George Harrison's net worth at the time may surprise you), at the age of 58, in 2001. But just what has his widow's life looked like since then, and what does she look like now?
Well, figuring that out isn't particularly difficult, seeing as how Olivia has very much remained in the public eye over the years. More specifically, she makes her living as an author, film producer, and record executive, often working on projects meant to honor her late husband. She's also kept in touch with George's former bandmates, including George Harrison's good friend Paul McCartney. In the photo below, which Olivia posted to her personal Instagram account in May 2025, she's sharing a sweet moment with McCartney while attending one of the bassist's photography exhibits.
"If you're in Los Angeles take the opportunity to visit the excellent Rearview Mirror: @paulmccartney Photographs, December 1963–February 1964 @gagosian. Thank you Paul and Nancy," Olivia wrote in the post's caption at the time. Of course, if she has anything to say about it, McCartney's exhibit will be far from the last time a former Beatle's personal photographs get major attention.
How George Harrison's wife is keeping his legacy alive
George Harrison's widow Olivia Harrison has dedicated a solid portion of her own life to preserving his legacy. For example, as a producer, Olivia helped put together "Concert for George," a 2003 documentary about the 2002 George Harrison tribute show that took place in London following his passing the previous year. She subsequently produced several similar projects, including iconic director Martin Scorsese's 2011 documentary "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" and Peter Jackson's 2021 Disney+ docuseries "The Beatles: Get Back." As far as the actual music is concerned, though, Olivia has also led the charge in reissuing much of George's solo work.
What's more, while the former Beatle is obviously a legend, Olivia has received her fair share of praise and recognition for her work carrying the torch for her late husband. She has two Grammy Awards to her name — one for the aforementioned "Concert for George" documentary, and another for the 50th anniversary reissue of George's 1970 album "All Things Must Pass," as well as a couple of Emmys for the aforementioned "Living in the Material World" and "Get Back," respectively.
Meanwhile, as we previously alluded to, Olivia is also making sure her late husband's photography gets its due too. In February 2026, the Random House Publishing Group announced "The Third Eye," a book featuring more than 250 personal photographs taken by George between 1963 and 1970. Olivia personally curated the collection herself, alongside penning a foreword for the book.
