Sources close to Jason Sudeikis believe key details are missing
According to Rob Shuter, Olivia Wilde’s sudden talk about their relationship shocked Jason Sudeikis. In the interview, the “House” star remembered the moment that signaled the end of her relationship with Sudeikis. Wilde claimed she asked Sudeikis about her birthday gift, but he replied, “What would I get you, Olivia? I don’t even know you.” According to insiders, the “Saturday Night Live” alum wished she had kept this moment private.
“Jason is incredibly private and was shocked to see this story resurface years later,” a source told the outlet. They continued, “His first thought was their children. One day they’ll read these interviews, and that’s what hurts the most.” The Golden Globe-winning actor’s friends reportedly also thought the story lacked important context. “The narrative makes it sound like Jason simply checked out of the relationship. People close to them remember a far more complicated situation,” an insider explained.
Another source shared, “Jason and those closest to him feel the real story is being overlooked. From their perspective, everything changed when Olivia fell for Harry.” Insiders also stated that currently, Sudeikis is focusing on co-parenting and moving on. “Jason has spent years rebuilding his life. He doesn’t understand why old wounds need to be reopened when everyone involved is trying to move on,” the source said.
Thinking about her ex’s birthday comment on the podcast, Wilde said, “And he wasn’t wrong. We didn’t know each other anymore.” The 42-year-old actress added that at that moment, the pair realized how much they had grown apart. “And that was a point, that was when we realized it was over, and it was f—ing tough. And it brought us to the place of like, ‘OK, this is done. We’re gonna end this.’ And then, literally two days later, was lockdown COVID,” she explained.
