Olivia Wildeis spilling behind-the-scenes details of her relationship with Jason Sudeikis and the moment she knew it was over. The Tron: Legacy actor reveals Sudeikis said some truthful words that were the final straw.
It appears that both actors are airing out their grievances about their past relationship since calling it quits in 2020. Wilde appeared on an episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, saying, “Jason and I had been having a rough time for a while. We had a real bumpy ride.”
The actor and director revealed she knew it was time to go their separate ways during a car ride in March 2020. It just happens that the two were driving home from her 36th birthday party when she asked Sudeikis if he had gotten her a gift.
“He said, ‘What would I get you, Olivia? I don’t know you,’” Wilde remembered.
While shocked by Sudeikis’s biting words, she admitted that he “wasn’t wrong” in what he told her. She quickly realized that they reached a point in their relationship where they “didn’t know each other anymore.”
The two actors started dating in 2011 after meeting at a party, with both of them having gotten out of previous marriages. They made their relationship public some time after, with Sudeikis proposing to Wilde in 2013. They welcomed two children together in 2014 and 2016, but never officially married.
Wilde admits that the conversation they had in the car was what led them to realize it “was over.” She adds that it was “f*cking tough” and “it brought us to the place of, ‘OK, this is done, we’re gonna end this.’”
Wilde and Sudeikis both felt they were better off separated and ended the relationship. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown at the time, the two still lived together with their children. In that time, they tried to repair their relationship, but it didn’t work. Their breakup was highly publicized at the time, especially when it came to custody rights for their kids.
Since their breakup, Wilde says the two have a “great” co-parenting relationship, and “These kids are consistently getting the best of us in a way that when we were together was not possible. We did not work together. But we work really well as separated co-parents.”
The actor is rumored to be linked to Ellie Goulding’s ex-husband, Caspar Jopling, while Sudeikis confirmed he’s single and is finding dating “overwhelming.”
