10 Things You Didn't Know About Olivia Wilde

6. She Married Tao Ruspoli On A School Bus

Though she's now known for her relationship with funny dude Jason Sudeikis, Olivia Wilde was previously married for 8 years to one Tao Ruspoli, a filmmaker and flamenco dancer with a rich Italian heritage. The pair lived a pretty alternative lifestyle for a long time, and even got married - when Olivia was just eighteen, mind - on a painted school bus with just a few people there to witness the event. Why did they choose to do such a bizarre thing? Ask Olivia!
"The bus was the only place we could be completely alone. The wedding was a secret, and we wanted to do it someplace where we could hide with our best friends. It was all about the intimacy of the promise we were making. When I go to weddings, it usually feels like it€™s all about the party and the place settings and the dress and the flower arrangements. Our wedding wasn€™t about any of that."
She was a hippy, then. Essentially.
