Sudeikis: Dating Is Tough, Kids Come First
3 Jun
Summary
- Sudeikis is navigating single life after a seven-year engagement.
- He prioritizes his two children above any romantic relationships.
- Dating is described as daunting and overwhelming due to parenting duties.

Jason Sudeikis has revealed that dating has become a complex endeavor following his seven-year engagement to Olivia Wilde. The actor, known for his role in "Ted Lasso," discussed his current single status on a recent podcast, describing it as having "ups and downs." He expressed a preference for committed relationships over dating multiple people concurrently, finding the latter daunting and overwhelming, particularly as a father.
Sudeikis, who shares two children, Otis Alexander and Daisy Josephine, with Wilde, stated that his children are unequivocally his highest priority. He likened their importance to the "number one on the call sheet" in show business, even ranking them above himself. While acknowledging the need to "make sure my cup's full," he stressed that his children’s well-being and presence in his life take precedence over any romantic pursuits.
The couple, who met at a "Saturday Night Live" event in May 2011 and were engaged in January 2013, ended their relationship in 2020. They have since agreed to joint custody of their children and were reported to be co-parenting successfully in Los Angeles as of October 2025, with a source noting a "united front." They were recently spotted together in April 2025, hugging while taking their children to a playground.
