Tron Actress Olivia Wilde Separates from Husband

by Daun Lee

The 26 year old actress and star of both movie “Tron: Legacy” and the television show “House MD” has separated from her husband of eight years. Wilde eloped with Tao Ruspoli, the son of late Italian Prince Dado Ruspoli, when she only eighteen years old. The couple has been living apart in the attempt to make their unconventional marriage work.  The rising star will now join the 27 percent of women who get married before the age of 20 and need divorce lawyers to dissolve their impetuous marriage.

The couple who were set up, surprised friends and family with their separation as the couple appeared happy together. Tao at one time felt confident that their unusual courtship was the recipe for a successful marriage but the allure of marrying into royalty couldn’t keep the two together. The young actress isn’t back on the dating scene until she sees her divorce attorney, sorry boys.  Since the split is mutual the couple will probably agree to an uncontested divorce after their separation but there is no word on how they will divide their royal assets.

The fairytale couple will become one of the two million plus marriages that end through divorce. While Olivia’s and Tao’s split is mutual many marriages do not end on a light note and approximately 65% percent of divorces are initiated by women who retain divorce lawyers to protect their interests. Currently, divorce rates are higher among couples who marry in their teens or early twenties.
