Jason Sudeikis, best known for his role in 'Ted Lasso,' has candidly discussed his life as a single parent and the challenges that come with it. The 50-year-old actor and comedian was previously in a long-term relationship with filmmaker Olivia Wilde, with whom he shares two children. Following their separation in 2020, Sudeikis has been navigating the complexities of parenting alone, a journey he describes as both daunting and overwhelming.
Thoughts on Future Relationships and Fatherhood
When asked about the possibility of having more children, Sudeikis responded during the 'Friends Keep Secrets' podcast on June 2, 2026, 'I would if, yeah, if I fell in love.' He expressed a preference for meaningful connections over casual dating, stating, 'I'm not at a point in my life where it feels good or fulfilling to date numerous people all at once.' The actor emphasized that dating multiple people simultaneously feels overwhelming, especially given his responsibilities as a parent.
Prioritizing His Children
Sudeikis made it clear that his children remain his top priority. He explained, using a show business analogy, that if he were dating someone, that person would not be number one on his call sheet—'the kids are.' He added that his own needs come second to those of his children. Reflecting on self-care, he said, 'As you get older, you realize you need to make sure your cup is full so others can get the overflow.'
Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde: A Look Back
Before their breakup, Sudeikis and Wilde were engaged for seven years. They met on the set of 'Saturday Night Live' in 2011, and Sudeikis later recalled in a 2017 interview with Stephen Colbert that they 'hit it off that night.' He proposed in Paris in 2013. The former couple now shares joint custody of their two children.
