Olivia Wilde Spotted With Actor Dane DiLiegro Courtside at Lakers Game

Los Angeles Lakers home games are about more than basketball — they’re often a celebrity spectacle, and their clash against the Boston Celtics Thursday night, January 23, was no different. Two stars that sat courtside, however, drew a little more attention than the others.

Actress-director Olivia Wilde and actor Dane DiLiegro were spotted sitting next to each other and looking awfully friendly as they watched LeBron James and the Lakers defeat Boston, 117-96.

Both were dressed inconspicuously, with Wilde, 40, sporting a brown Los Angeles Dodgers hat with a white hoodie and blue jeans. DiLiegro, 36, went with a similar look, opting for a green hoodie and black cap. Us Weekly has reached out to reps for both stars for comment.

DiLiegro, who is best known for his roles in the films Prey and Imaginary, is a former pro basketball player himself. After a four-year playing career at the University of New Hampshire, the center played in Italy and Israel before turning to acting full-time.

It’s not unusual to see him enjoying an NBA game — he has friends throughout the league and even officiated the wedding of the Toronto Raptors’ Kelly Olynyk.

As for Wilde, she has not dated anyone publicly since her breakup with Harry Styles — who she directed in Don’t Worry Darling — in 2022. She was previously married to Italian prince Tao Ruspoli from 2003 to 2011 and became engaged to Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis in 2013, though the two never married and split in 2020. Wilde and Sudekis share son Otis, 10, and daughter Daisy Josephine, 8.

The House actress has done her best to keep her personal life out of the public eye, explaining to Variety in 2022 that she has “never seen a relationship benefit from being dragged into the public arena.”

“I think what you realize is that when you’re really happy, it doesn’t matter what strangers think about you,” she said in a 2021 story for Vogue. “All that matters to you is what’s real, and what you love, and who you love.”

“In the past 10 years, as a society, we have placed so much more value on the opinion of strangers rather than the people closest to us,” she continued. “I’m happier than I’ve ever been. And I’m healthier than I’ve ever been, and it’s just wonderful to feel that.”
