Wilde and Sudeikis Reach Co-Parenting Balance

Olivia Wilde says ending her nearly decade-long relationship with Jason Sudeikis was the most painful decision of her life and felt like a failure, but she believed their children would be better off than in a home where their parents were not aligned. The former couple separated in 2020 and agreed to joint custody of their children, Otis, 12, and Daisy, 10, in 2023 after a custody dispute. Wilde says they have reached a healthy co-parenting balance and is proud of how they work together, while stressing that co-parenting is difficult. She values being honest with their children, saying kids can sense when adults conceal conflict or pretend everything is fine, and has said shared custody lets each parent be fully present with them during their time together.
