Olivia Wilde is getting real about how “tricky” single parenting can be after her breakup with Jason Sudeikis.
The “Don’t Worry Darling” director, 38, told Kelly Clarkson on Tuesday that “reshaping [her] family” has been “tough” after her seven-year engagement to the “Ted Lasso” star, 47, ended in 2020.
However, Wilde gushed about the unexpected benefits of co-parenting son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 5, with Sudeikis.
“It’s allowed for some really deep conversations with my kids about emotions and about happiness and about what family means and love,” she explained during the “Kelly Clarkson Show” appearance.
“It’s actually allowed me to get to know them in a different way. My priority is them, as long as they’re happy and they’re healthy.”
The “O.C.” alum noted that she and the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member “agree” on putting their kids first.
“There are so many families that are … blended and different shapes,” Wilde said, calling their new dynamic “hard but doable.”
The “Booksmart” director concluded, “If you can surround them with so much love, then it’s OK. But it’s tricky because we’re not doing it in private.”
The news of Wilde and Sudeikis’ split broke in November 2020, though she recently revealed that they had quietly parted ways months prior.
“Jason and I had a very bumpy road, and we officially dissolved the relationship towards the beginning of the pandemic,” the filmmaker, who got engaged to the Emmy winner in 2013, said in her Vanity Fair cover story.
“Once it became clear that cohabitating was no longer beneficial for the children, it became the responsible thing to not, because we could be better parents as friends who live in different houses,” she added.
The director has moved on with Harry Styles.
