Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde show signs of reconciliation
The custody battle between Sudeikis, 48, and Wilde, 39, took a drastic turn when the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ director was infamously served legal papers while on stage at CinemaCon in April 2022.
At the time, a source told Page Six that Wilde was mortified. "It seemed unthinkable to her, and it took a moment to set in, but as mortifying as it was, she did not want to give a reaction," the insider explained.
Fortunately, things have gotten better since then. Not only have Sudeikis and Wilde settled their custody battle, but they reportedly put on a united front in Los Angeles last weekend when they were spotted cheering on Otis at his soccer game.
The former duo, the publication noted, even hugged and shared a high-five.
Olivia Wilde praises Justin Bieber over Harry Styles
Earlier this week, the 'Don’t Worry Darling' star stirred up some drama when she called Justin Bieber, not her ex Harry Styles, the "greatest singer on Earth."
She was a guest on 'Subway Takes', a short talk show that happens on the New York City subway.
The host challenged her to say the first thing that popped into her head when he mentioned Justin Bieber and Olivia quickly replied: "the greatest singer on Earth."
She also shared her opinion that good singers should not do karaoke.
"They can go get paid to do that. We in the non-good singing community paid to be able to go and sing. We pay good money to be able to go and sing… badly," she said.
"I’m terrible [at karaoke], but that’s the point. I take pride in being booed off because that’s great," she continued.
She added: "There’s no singer good enough that I want to see them do karaoke well."
Wilde and Sudeikis began their relationship in November 2011 and got engaged in January 2013. They had two children before breaking up in November 2020.
