It’s official, US actress Olivia Wilde is back on the market.
The brown-haired beauty has ended her eight-year marriage with Italian prince Tao Ruspoli after a judge signed divorce papers which she filed for back in March 2011.
The 27-year-old actress told Marie Claire the experience has changed her.
“The trauma of the whole thing has been humbling and for the first time, I’m a little bit wobbly,” she said.
“It makes you a more empathetic person, and I think it’s made me a better actress.
“Weakness is something we don’t like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.”
The pair had been married eloped in 2003 when Wilde was a teenager.
“I’m a case of arrested development, in a way — from spending your twenties with someone who really loves to take care of you, as my husband did,” she said.
“But I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”
The Cowboys and Aliens star did not seek spousal support and pair have reached a private agreement on dividing property.
“We’re friends. His family is my family. You always have a choice to feel angry and not be friends. But I can’t handle the idea of walking into a room and seeing someone I have bad blood with. I can’t keep any negative relationship with anyone,” she said.
Wilde has already been romantically linked to a number of Hollywood hunks including Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling. But she says dating is very foreign to her.
“I’m trying to be adult, entering the shark pool of dating, but I’m hopeless at it!”
