Jason Sudeikis spoke for the first time about the breakup with Olivia Wilde

Jason Sudeikis spoke for the first time about the breakup with Olivia Wilde

Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde announced their separation after eight years of relationship back in November last year and since then have not made any comments on this matter. The other day, 45-year-old Sudeikis spoke openly for the first time about his breakup with 37-year-old Olivia, who is the mother of his two children: seven-year-old son Otis and four-year-old daughter Daisy.

The actor of the TV series "Ted Lasso" touched on this topic in the August issue of the American GQ, on the cover of which he appeared. When asked about the breakup, Jason answered philosophically. In his response, Sudeikis admitted that he is still trying to understand the true meaning of their separation, thereby hinting that Olivia was the initiator of the breakup.

I will begin to better understand the meaning of what happened in a year, or even better-in two or five. As a result, from the book of my life, it will first turn into a chapter, and then into a paragraph, a line, a word, and from it into simple doodles,

- the actor analyzed the breakup with Olivia Wilde.

Indirectly, Sudeikis confirmed that the breakup was a complete surprise for him. Insiders said that he could not realize what had happened for a long time and was very hard going through the breakup. But Olivia Wilde, two months after parting with Jason, began dating singer Harry Styles — because the actress so quickly entered into a new romantic relationship, she was accused of cheating on her partner: allegedly because of Harry, who is 10 years younger than her, she left the groom. However, there is another opinion: friends of Sudeikis and Wilde said that Harry had nothing to do with the breakup of the couple. According to them, they broke up long before the official statement about it, and Olivia's new romance began when she had been free for some time.

In a new interview, Jason Sudeikis also analyzed what experience he got from this breakup:

You are either learning something, or making excuses! You take some responsibility for everything you do, and also try to extract something from it beyond the obvious.

Sudeikis admitted that he is proud of how he was able to overcome all the difficulties that happened to him last year. Jason also denied rumors that he appeared at the virtual Golden Globe Award ceremony under the influence of drugs. Recall that at that time Sudeikis went on the air via video link from his home and was wearing a hoodie, over which he was wearing a tie, while the dress code of the award, even for virtual inclusions, was strictly official. In addition, his speech was strange and incoherent. Many viewers thought that the actor was heartbroken after breaking up with his wife and trying to numb the pain with drugs.

I wasn't high or heartbroken! Yes, it sounded like "This is what I feel. I believe in a bright future." I put on a hoodie because I just didn't want to wear the damn top of a Tom Ford suit. No, I love the suits of this brand, it would just look strange,

Sudeikis explained his behavior.

Recall that in February of this year, rumors appeared in the press about the romance of Jason Sudeikis with 34-year-old British actress and model Keely Hazell. Insiders said that Jason and Keely became close during the period when he was devastated after breaking up with Olivia and was looking for support from friends. Apparently, Jason and Keely are still together: a couple of weeks ago, they first got into the paparazzi lenses together.
