Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Share a Friendly Hug in L.A.
Celebrity relationships can be complex and messy, but sometimes, even after a split, it’s heartwarming to see former partners showing kindness towards each other. Recently, Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis were spotted together in Los Angeles, taking their kids to a park on Saturday, April 6.
The pair, who have been co-parenting successfully since settling their custody case in September 2023, looked like they were having a great time as they chatted and smiled while their son Otis, 10, and daughter Daisy, 8, played nearby. A friendly hug between the two was also visible, showing that despite their messy split nearly two years ago, they can still show affection towards each other.
Jason Sudeikis is an American actor, comedian, and screenwriter.
Born on September 18, 1975, in Fairfax, Virginia, he rose to fame as a cast member on Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 2005 to 2013.
Sudeikis has appeared in various films, including Horrible Bosses, We're the Millers, and Colossal.
He is also known for creating the popular TV series Ted Lasso, where he serves as an executive producer and writer.
Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis first began dating in 2011 after meeting at a Saturday Night Live finale party and got engaged the following year. They welcomed Otis in April 2014 and Daisy in October 2016 before calling it quits in 2020 after a seven-year engagement.
Olivia Wilde is an American actress, director, and producer.
Born on March 10, 1984, in New York City, she rose to fame with her role as Dr. Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley in the medical drama series House (2007-2012).
She has also appeared in films like TRON: Legacy (2010), Cowboys & Aliens (2011), and The Change-Up (2011).
In addition to acting, Wilde made her directorial debut with Booksmart (2019), a comedy-drama film that received critical acclaim.
She is known for her versatility as an actress and her commitment to social causes.
After news of their split broke in November 2020, Wilde was thrust into the spotlight when she began dating ‘Harry Styles.’ According to a source, the pair’s children were their main concern during this time. ‘It’s been amicable, and they’ve transitioned into a great co-parenting routine. The children are the priority and the heart of the family’s relationship,’ the insider said.
However, things took a turn when Sudeikis served Wilde with legal documents regarding their children in April 2022 while she was speaking onstage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Wilde then reportedly said in a court filing that Sudeikis ‘chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible,’ which was ‘intended to threaten me and catch me off guard.’
Despite the contentious custody battle, Wilde wanted to focus on what’s best for the kids. A source told PEOPLE at the time that she and Jason don’t speak to each other, so they have help communicating about the custody schedule.
Court filings from March 2023 revealed that Sudeikis and Wilde had not yet settled their custody dispute. However, in September 2023, their custody case was finally settled, and Sudeikis was ordered to pay a child-support sum of $27,500 per month to Wilde.
Since then, the pair have remained friendly, with a source telling PEOPLE in October 2023 that they are co-parenting successfully as they both live in L.A. ‘They’re in a good place,’ the source said at the time. ‘If there’s any resentment over where to live or child custody payments, they certainly don’t show it. It’s a united front. And they are clearly both deeply devoted parents.
