A Look At Olivia Wilde And Jason Sudeikis’ Relationship Timeline: From Love To Separation

As I delve deeper into the intriguing lives of Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde, I can’t help but be captivated by their rollercoaster journey. Their love story, marked by parenthood, adoption, and heartbreak, is a testament to the complexities of human relationships.

Fate or destiny is believed to play a significant role in whom we end up marrying. For some individuals, their love story becomes an eternal one, while for others, such as Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, their love journey may lead them to part ways eventually.

Back in 2011, following our personal life upheavals, I stumbled upon a spark at a hushed-down Hollywood soiree post a late-night Saturday Night Live episode. The charismatic Olivia Wilde and I, a former SNL cast member, crossed paths, both of us treading the path of new beginnings after our respective divorces. Olivia, the visionary director of Booksmart, had been previously married to Tao Ruspoli from 2003 to 2011, while I shared my days with Kay Cannon from 2004 to 2010. Instantly, there was a connection that kindled between us, like two stars aligning in the night sky.

Back in October 2013, I got the thrilling news that my beloved couple was expecting their first child. Fast forward to 2016, and there was another precious little one on the way! Seven years of blissful engagement and creating a beautiful family together… but then, in November 2020, it broke my heart when Us Weekly reported that after all this time, the romance between them had sadly ended.

Regardless of being apart, they both actively supported each other’s endeavors and continue to be committed parents to their shared kids, functioning as cooperative parenting partners.

Examine the chronology of Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis’ romantic journey, from their meeting that sparked love, to their decision to part ways.

1. May 2011: Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde meet at a Saturday Night Live finale party

Sudeikis and Wilde crossed paths for the first time on the SNL set. As Wilde shared with Allure later, it was Sudeikis’ dancing skills that caught her attention. “I met Jason and found him incredibly charming,” she said. “He’s a fantastic dancer, and I can’t resist good dancers. But he didn’t even get my phone number,” she added to the publication.

Although he had her phone number, Sudeikis didn’t reach out to her initially. However, over the course of six months, we continued to cross paths. She recalled this incident in an interview with Allure, explaining that one evening, her best male friend approached Sudeikis and handed him her phone number, saying, “This is Olivia’s number. Feel free to use it.” This seemingly casual encounter marked the start of their relationship.

After they started conversing, they ventured out for their initial date. “Initially, I assumed he wouldn’t find me appealing; I didn’t think I stood a chance,” she admitted. “He was just so charismatic, so witty—I’ve always admired him and appreciated his quickness and intelligence,” she continued. “He’s an exceptionally talented actor with a mind that moves as swiftly as lightning,” she concluded.

Back in April 2013, the actress expressed her desire to have three children with Jason Sudeikis, stating that she wasn’t in a hurry to begin their family journey.

Later on, Wilde accused Sudeikis of intentionally attempting to humiliate her and cause disruption during her presentation. However, Sudeikis denied any prior knowledge about the method of delivery and had asked for a less conspicuous service instead.

By August 2022, I aimed to dismiss Sudeikis’ custody petition that was initially filed in New York. However, due to lack of jurisdiction, the case was withdrawn, keeping it in California. In our ongoing custody battle, a source shared that while we no longer interact directly, our primary focus remains ensuring the best for our children. Both of us are committed to maintaining their wellbeing amidst this situation.
