There were rumours that prior to her marriage (on 24 February 1657 to Prince Eugène-Maurice of Savoy), she was briefly the mistress of Louis XIV. Although, it has been said that they have never slept together.
After her marriage, she allied herself with Louis' sister-in-law, Henriette, Duchess of Orléans and with whom he had (allegedly) fallen deeply in love. When Henriette and Louis sought to hide their relationship from others, Olympia is said to have introduced one of Henriette's ladies-in-waiting, Mademoiselle de La Vallière, to the King. Olympia turned against Louis, however, after the King fell in love with the latter at the expense of Henriette.
