6. Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde married Tao Ruspoli at the age of 19 and filed for divorce after eight years of marriage. Wilde is a classic case of someone who married too young! “I really had a sense that I had stunted my growth. I think that’s one of the things that made me feel so uncomfortable in my marriage. It was really no fault of my husband. It was me realizing that I had sort of arrested development,” Wilde has said. Well, at least she was able to get out and live a little before settling down again with Jason Sudeikis!

After seven years of marriage, Rimes was caught having an affair with her co-star from “Northern Lights” Eddie Cibrian. She divorced Sheremet in 2010.
