The California-born NFL player is one of three children, all sons, of his parents: LaCausha and Raul Olave. He grew up with his two brothers, Isiah Olave and Josh Olave.
Born on June 27, 2000, Chris Olave is the youngest of three brothers. As of 2024, the Saints wide receiver is 23 years old.
Without the exact date of birth of Isiah and Joshua, their real-time age is not out but are allegedly in their 20s. As reported, Josh’s birthday falls on August 15.
The Olave brothers’ age gap is not far apart but a few years.
The eldest one, Isiah, is a couple of years senior to the NFL star. As for the age gap between Chris and Josh, it doesn’t seem much.
All three attended the same high school, East Lake High School. Isiah Olave graduated in 2014, Joshua graduated in 2017 & & Chris was the class of 2018.
They are very close and often share pictures of them on family moments & vacations. They’ve been pillars of support for each other.
In October 2023, when the Kenner Police Department arrested Chris on the charge of reckless driving, his brother Josh came to his defense via a Twitter post.
However, some views commented with a backlash to Josh for not addressing the violation of traffic rules.

Family Tree Of Christian Olave: Parents And Ethnicity
Olave is an American by nationality with a mixed ethnic background. His father, Raul, is of Cuban descent while his mother, LaCusha, has African-American roots.
His childhood was surrounded by financial insecurities as his parents were living paycheck to paycheck.
