Age ain’t nothin’ but a number, except perhaps when that age is quite young and we’re discussing the serious matter of matrimony. Whether it is first love, puppy love or whatever you want to call it, some young lovers feel ready to take the leap sooner than others (much, much sooner). And while you may be legally able to marry while you’re still in your teens, that doesn’t mean everyone is necessarily ready for the trials and tribulations that come along with the big I do’s. That may be why each and every one of the relationships on this list have inevitably ended in divorce. Or maybe it had nothing to do with age and the wedded pairs were just not meant to be. Either way, for whatever reasons, they chose to get hitched in the first place and then split in the end, here are 10 celebrities who got married while still teenagers.
10. Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde’s marriage when she was just 19 may have been a secret at the time, but it’s certainly no secret now. Back in 2002, a still teenage Olivia married Tao Ruspoli, an Italian filmmaker and musician who also happens to be the son of a prince was 10 years older than his blushing teen bride. The pair were apparently so eager to keep their nuptials from anyone, they had their ceremony in an abandoned bus which was the only place they felt they could be completely alone. The wedded bliss only lasted until 2011 when they divorced with the oh-so-familiar “irreconcilable differences.”
