Olivia Wilde has seen and done a lot of things already, even though she's only 27. The actress isn't just riding the wave right now in Hollywood, but she's also been through a divorce and has found love again.

This last part is the subject of her latest interview with the British GQ, the Comedy Issue, OK! Magazine informs.

Since she announced her divorce from her real-life prince, as she used to call her husband Tao Ruspoli, which happens to be a real-life Italian prince, Olivia has rarely spoken about the split.

She doesn't get into the details now either, but she does say it was painful even though it was also amicable.

Like all people who have ever had their heart broken, Olivia too fancied she would die from it and, perhaps just as worse, that, if she did survive, she would never know love again.

“I thought I was going to die young. It was a pretty juvenile mind set,” the star says of how she handled the breakup.

“When you split with someone you love you think you're the only person who has ever gone through it, 'Oh did you listen to The National on repeat and live on Marlboro Lights and chocolate for three months? Me too!'” she adds.

“But I was lucky to have such a peaceful parting. It's never easy: it's [expletive]-ed up and I wouldn't recommend it,” Olivia muses.

She also hints that she might have found love again, though she doesn't say it out loud.

Olivia is now dating Jason Sudeikis, so it makes sense to hear her talk about the possibility of finding love after losing love.

“But there were no kids involved, so we could see it as this wonderful chapter. And anyway, you fall in love again. Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought,” she explains.

In the same interview, the actress says the breakup even inspired her to write a script for a romantic comedy. She believes there's still room in Hollywood for a breakup story, and she wants hers to be it.
