Main Text *

Ottavia Busia was born on 11th of July, 1965 in the island of Sardinia. The large island is next to the Mediterranean Sea and is owned by Italy. Ottavia has a strong and fit physical stature due to her love with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the tips of having a healthy diet she learned from her <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">ex-husband</a>, <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony Bourdain</a> who was a famous <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">chef</a>.

Ottavia was born under the astrological sun sign of Cancer. Although she is a Cancer in the horoscope, she really doesn't possess any usual traits of the Cancer sign. Cancers are known for their tenderness, emotional swings, and melancholy. Ottavia is nothing like her fellow Cancers. She isn't emotional nor tender. She has a rough demeanor about her that can be detected just by looking at her face.

Since her early childhood, Ottavia had it rough and was involved in many fights. Her constant involvement in disputes pushed her to find ways to protect herself. As a young girl, she began to train martial arts in Italy. Instead of being a ball of range and anger, she wanted to channel her energy into being a calm and balanced person.

In her teenage years, she was a groupie of a musical band called Ireland. Ottavia relied on music and martial arts to carry her through her teenage years. Growing in Italy was filled with obstacles for a young woman but she found strength in martial arts.

Education

Ottavia Busia attended an elementary school on her home island of Sardinia. After her elementary education, she went to a high school and graduated without any academic issues. She participated in several martial arts education programs. On the other hand, Octavia’s former counterpart, <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony Bourdain</a>, attended his elementary school in New York City. After his elementary education, he went to the Dwight-Englewood School. After graduating from the Dwight-Englewood school, <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> enrolled at the Vassar College, but he dropped out from it. Later, he attended the Culinary Institute of America. His education in cooking and the talent for cooking would eventually earn him a net worth of $16 million. <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> destroyed the stereotypes that men shouldn't cook and that only women should be in the kitchen.

Career

Ottavia has enjoyed life as a successful martial artist. She is specialized in grappling arts of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. She likes to empower people to learn BJJ to protect themselves. She thinks it’s especially important for females to learn.

Her ex-husband <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> had several television culinary shows, and he also wrote several books on the topic of cooking. He was also the <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">judge</a> of several cooking contest TV shows.

Personal Life

Ottavia Busia and her ex-husband <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony Bourdain</a> got married in 2007. The large difference in their age wasn't an obstacle for getting into a marriage. They just saw each other for the loving partner that they finally found.

Ottavia and <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> had one daughter named Ariane Bourdain who was born on April 9, 2007 in New York. She is the only child in her family. Ottavia and <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> unfortunately decided to get a divorce in 2016 after nine years of a loving marriage. <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> told People magazine that the two had slowly drifted apart but would focus on raising their daughter together, "My wife and I live, have lived, very separate lives for years...There's no drama here. We get along really, really well and it's not a big lifestyle change happening here."

Unfortunately for Ariane and Ottavia, Ariane will have to learn about the world without the love and guidance of her father. In June of 2018, <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> committed suicide in a French hotel while on assignment for one of his television programs. He was discovered dead in his room by a close friend and fellow chef. It is unknown if the stress of the divorce or another reason caused him to take his own life. It is speculated that he found out his new girlfriend was cheating on him with another man while she was away on a trip. <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> was a <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">survivor</a> of heroin addiction from his early developing years and always sought help for his depression. The death was a tragedy and made many of his friends and family sad.

Ottavia stayed quiet about the suicide for a many days. She was understandably trying to process what happened and needed time to grieve. <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/942988/anthony-bourdain-s-ex-wife-breaks-her-silence-on-his-death-with-heartbreaking-message-about-their-daughter">She finally broke her silence</a> when she posted a photo of their daughter with the caption, "Our little girl had her concert today," Busia wrote to her late ex on Instagram along with a photo of Ariane at a microphone. "She was amazing. So strong and brave. She wore the boots you bought her." "I hope you are having a good trip, wherever you are," she concluded the caption.

If she had gone another route and blamed or attacked <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> for leaving them, some people would have understood. <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> always claimed that their daughter was extremely important to him. The media asked why he would leave his daughter alone if he loved her so much. People hope that he thought about his daughter when he was going through the steps on deciding if he should go through with the final act or not.

Suicide is a controversial topic because people on the outside cannot really understand what the depressed person is going through. The first reaction from many people when the news about <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony Bourdain</a> broke was confusion. He was well respected, had the love and admiration of many influential people around the world including the former president Obama, and had all the money and resources that the average person would dream about.

With a young daughter that needed him to be in his life after the split from Ottavia, the timing seemed to be very off. <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> was already going to reach his later years, he could have just retired from his career and focused on raising his daughter with Ottavia. For many years, Ottavia and her daughter will have to wonder and deal with the fact that <a href="/biography/anthony-bourdain">Anthony</a> is no longer there to share their days with them.
