Olivia Wilde Enjoys Lakers Game with Dane DiLiegro
On January 23, Olivia Wilde was seen enjoying a basketball game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The director and actress joined actor Dane DiLiegro, who is also a former professional basketball player, for the match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, PEOPLE reported.
Wilde, aged 40, chose a casual look for the event. She opted for a white hoodie, pairing it with a black LA cap. Her simple makeup highlighted her natural beauty, and her brunette hair flowed in natural waves. DiLiegro, 36, matched her relaxed style, wearing a hooded top and cap. The two were seen deep in conversation during the game.
Photographs captured the duo sitting behind celebrities Kelsi Taylor and Dane Cook. They seemed to enjoy each other's company, sharing moments as the game unfolded. DiLiegro, standing at 6-foot-8, is recognized for his roles in horror films. He portrayed monstrous characters such as the Predator in 2022's "Prey" and Chauncey Bear in Blumhouse's 2024 film, "Imaginary". He played college basketball at the University of New Hampshire, later pursuing a professional career in Europe throughout the 2010s.
After his basketball career, DiLiegro transitioned to acting, landing a stand-in role in the Ryan Reynolds film "Free Guy." Following the global pandemic, he retired from basketball and switched to acting full-time. His upcoming project includes a Netflix comedy titled "Running Point."
Wilde has also made a name for herself in directing over the past five years with films like "Booksmart" and "Don't Worry Darling." She was first married to Italian prince Tao Ruspoli from 2003 to 2011, with their divorce finalized in October 2011. She later began a relationship with actor Jason Sudeikis which lasted from 2011 until their split in 2020. They share two children: Otis Alexander, 10, and Daisy Josephine, 8.
Following her separation from Sudeikis, Wilde dated musician Harry Styles, whom she met on the set of "Don't Worry Darling." Their relationship, confirmed by PEOPLE in January 2021, reportedly came to an end by November 2022 when sources indicated they were taking a break.
