Olivia Wilde on How Divorce Helped Her

Olivia Wilde divorced from her husband Tao Ruspoli after eight years of marriage, though they are still on good terms. She married the Italian prince when she was just 18. She recently explained to Marie Claire the reason for their elopement and eventual split: “Our deal from the beginning was, ‘We’re crazy to do this, but we’re doing it because we’re in love and it makes us happy. The only reason to divorce is if one of us isn’t happy. Life is too short.’

The actress revealed, “The trauma of the whole thing has been humbling, and for the first time, I’m a little bit wobbly.” She stated that divorce, “makes you a more empathetic person, and I think it’s made me a better actress.”
