Olivia Wilde details split from Jason Sudeikis: 'I don't even know you'

Actress and director Olivia Wilde has revealed intimate details about the end of her decade-long relationship with actor Jason Sudeikis. Speaking on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Wilde, 42, identified a conversation with Sudeikis on her 36th birthday in March 2020 as the pivotal moment that signaled the demise of their relationship.

According to Wilde, as they were driving home, she inquired about a birthday gift. Sudeikis's response, "What would I buy you, Olivia? I don't even know you," deeply affected her. She admitted that Sudeikis, 50, was not entirely wrong, as they had grown so distant over time that they had become strangers to each other. This stark realization helped them both understand that their relationship was over.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic led them to continue living together for the sake of their children, son Otis and daughter Daisy, they officially confirmed the end of their seven-year engagement in November 2020. The aftermath of their split was marked by public drama, including Sudeikis serving Wilde custody documents in a highly public manner at CinemaCon in 2022. Further controversy arose from their former nanny's claims that Sudeikis had thrown himself in front of Wilde's car to prevent her from leaving to meet singer Harry Styles, allegedly carrying a salad with "special dressing."

Wilde has previously spoken about public judgment regarding her relationship with Styles, who is ten years her junior, highlighting the double standards women often face. Despite the tumultuous breakup, Wilde now asserts that she and Sudeikis have a "great co-parenting relationship." She emphasized that their children benefit most from their current arrangement, as they function better as separated parents raising their children together than they did as a couple. Wilde concluded that they are both at their best when with their children, who receive their full attention.
