Divorce from her husband Tao Ruspoli after eight years of marriage made her a better actress. In an interview in the new issue of Marie Claire, the actress said going through the divorce made her a more empathetic person and admitted that the trauma of the whole experience has been humbling for her and left her a little bit wobbly. Wilde eloped with Ruspoli, an Italian prince when she was just 18 years old. The two got married in an abandoned school bus. Wilde maintains that she and Ruspoli are on excellent terms.
