Olivia Wilde has spoken about co-parenting with Jason Sudeikis, saying the former couple have reached a “healthy equilibrium” while acknowledging that the process remains difficult.
In an interview with the New York Times, Wilde said she took pride in “how good we are at co-parenting our kids in my family”. She added that she felt “relieved” to be able to be authentic as a parent.
“Anyone who pretends it’s easy — like, ‘Oh, you just consciously uncouple, and then you find a way’ — that’s BS,” she said.
Wilde said children could sense when adults were attempting to hide their true feelings. “When you’re trying to hide it from your kids, they sense it,” she said. “They’re the most intuitive people in the house.”
She added that children could become aware when something was being performed for them, saying: “And then people start to feel, like, What is real? Because I can tell that something’s being performed for me. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”
Wilde and Sudeikis, who share daughter Daisy and son Otis, reunited to celebrate Daisy’s graduation in June.
The pair ended their engagement in 2020. Their relationship appeared considerably more strained in 2022, when Wilde was served custody papers on stage at CinemaCon.
