The Don't Worry Darling drama happening off-camera almost overshadowed the release of the thriller in 2022. And Jason Sudeikis' split from Olivia Wilde was front and center. With the news of Wilde being served papers regarding her custody case in April 2022 at CinemaCon, it was hard not to be shocked by the end of this celebrity relationship. And the case is still big news as it is ongoing.
Although they got engaged, Wilde and Sudeikis decided in 2020 that it would be best to break up. The couple shares two children, 9-year-old Otis Alexander Sudeikis and six-year-old Daisy Josephine Sudeikis. After his dramatic and publicized split, does Jason Sudeikis get along well with his daughter Daisy?
How Close Is Jason Sudeikis To His Daughter Daisy Josephine Sudeikis?
While Jason Sudeikis dated Keeley Hazell, who is a writer and actress on his popular sitcom Ted Lasso, the most attention has been on his relationship with Olivia Wilde since they share two children.
While Sudeikis and Wilde worked through their custody agreement, it seems that he was always a hands-on father to his children. Hollywood Life reported that the actor was photographed with Daisy in March 2023 going for a walk.
Sudeikis is often pictured spending time with Daisy, which suggests that they have always been close. According to Hollywood Life, they were hanging out in New York City in August 2021.
The actor explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that his children Daisy Josephine Sudeikis and Otis Sudeikis are big fans of Ted Lasso.
It's sweet that he has introduced them to the show which seems to mean a lot to him. And it seems that he has ensured that his kids are an integral part of his life. They are aware of the career that he has and that is really cool.
The actor said, "They like the show, they watch the show. They know all these guys. They know these guys and gals as real people, not just as their characters. It's nice. It's one big happy family."
He also explained that Daisy hasn't picked one career path yet, which makes sense since she is so young, and she is curious about several jobs. He told Entertainment Tonight, "Daisy wants to be about 10 different things."
Sudeikis talked about being a parent in an interview with E! News and said that he gets a lot out of his relationship with his children. He said, "I don't know who is teaching who at any given point to be honest with you. I feel like we swap roles between Yoda and Luke Skywalker just about every other sentence."
Jason Sudeikis seems to travel a lot with his children Daisy and Otis as well. According to The Daily Mail, the actor was in Washington, D.C. in March 2023 for an event at the White House. He talked about mental health struggles along with the cast of Ted Lasso. Sudeikis was photographed with Otis and Daisy at the airport.
Sudeikis also seems to be okay with seeing his ex Wilde if it means that they can be there for their children. The Daily Mail reported that the former couple were together in April 2023 watching Otis play soccer. They hugged and appeared to be alright with seeing each other, and Daisy was there too.
While Wilde posts photos of her kids on Instagram, there aren't that many available of Sudeikis and his kids unless they have been photographed while on outings. But Sudeikis has also maintained a close relationship with both kids. And he makes sure that they are involved with whatever he's doing, which definitely makes him a fun parent.
According to Us Weekly, when Sudeikis had the honor of the first pitch at a baseball game that the Chicago Cubs were playing in the summer of 2021, Otis and Daisy were there.
How Are Jason Sudeikis And Olivia Wilde Co-Parenting Daisy Josephine Sudeikis?
Although Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde's custody battle made up many dramatic headlines, the couple is committed to the parenthood journey that they are on.
As for how Wilde and Sudeikis are raising their kids now, a source told E! News that Wilde is committed to Sudeikis spending time with Daisy and Otis.
The source said, "Despite all of the tension, Olivia absolutely wants her kids to have the best relationship possible with their dad. She would never stand in the way of that and encourages it as much as possible. She is hopeful they can figure out a system and schedule that works best for everyone."
Wilde echoed that sentiment in an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show in September 2022. She said, "My priority is them. That's what it is. It's as long as they're happy and they're healthy then, my ex and I, we agree on that. They are everything to us."
Both parents definitely seem to spend lots of time with their children, but the former couple's custody case seems dramatic. According to Harper's Bazaar, Sudeikis was looking to have Otis and Daisy live in New York City with him. Wilde wanted them to remain in Los Angeles.
The Daily Mail reported that Wilde said, "Recently, however, Jason decided that he wanted to go to New York for the next year while he is not working, and wanted the children to be with him there during this time off. When I did not agree, since the children have not lived in New York for several years, Jason filed these papers." In April of 2023, Wilde said that she was not getting the child support that she should have from her ex.
TMZ reported that while Sudeikis was hoping that they could continue the case in New York, a judge said that it would continue in Los Angeles.
