Olivia Wilde Reflects on Relationship with Jason Sudeikis: A Journey of Growth and Co-Parenting

Olivia Wilde Opens Up About Her Past with Jason Sudeikis

In a recent episode of the Call Me Daddy podcast, Olivia Wilde candidly discussed her previous relationship with actor Jason Sudeikis. She recounted the moment she realized their romance was nearing its end, which took place on March 10, 2020, during a car ride home from her birthday celebration. A brief exchange during the drive revealed the emotional distance that had developed between them.

Wilde inquired if Sudeikis had purchased her a birthday gift, to which he replied, "What would I get you, Olivia? I don't know you." This moment resonated deeply with Wilde, who recognized that they had drifted apart. She stated, "We didn't know each other anymore," underscoring the necessity of curiosity and connection in a relationship. This realization prompted them to acknowledge that their relationship had reached its conclusion, just days before the COVID-19 lockdown began.

Despite their breakup, Wilde and Sudeikis have successfully fostered a positive co-parenting relationship for their two children, Daisy and Otis. During the podcast, Wilde praised Sudeikis as a "very capable co-parent," emphasizing their collaborative parenting approach. She mentioned that sharing custody has reshaped their views on parenting, allowing them to showcase their best selves.

Wilde discussed the complexities and benefits of co-parenting, stating, "You have to find the balance. But I actually find this kind of divvying up of responsibility in a way can allow for really amazing parenting." She expressed her belief that their arrangement allows their children to benefit from both parents' strengths, ensuring they receive optimal care.

Wilde and Sudeikis began their relationship in 2011 after meeting at a Saturday Night Live after-party. They got engaged in 2013 but ultimately chose to separate in 2020 without marrying. Their commitment to co-parenting remains a top priority as they navigate their new relationship dynamic while ensuring their children flourish in a nurturing environment.
