Olivia Wilde didn’t hold back as she addressed rumors that former fiancé Jason Sudeikis cheated with Harry Styles before ending their seven-year engagement in 2020 during an interview with Vanity Fair.
Responding to public speculation that she had been unfaithful to her longtime partner, the 38-year-old director insisted her “relationship was over long before she met” the pop star on the set of Don’t Worry Darling.
“The idea that I left Jason for Harry is completely wrong,” she told the magazine while gracing the cover in a classy mini dress that showed off her toned legs and a pair of chunky platform heels.

The mother-of-two continued, “Like any relationship that ends, it doesn’t end overnight. Unfortunately, Jason and I had a very bumpy road and we officially ended the relationship at the beginning of the pandemic.
“We raised two children during lockdown so we’ve been parenting this time together. When it became clear that living together was no longer beneficial for the children, it became a responsibility not to do it because, as friends living in different houses, we could be better parents,” Wilde explained.
Despite an initial amicable split, her former partner raised eyebrows for delivering the house actress the custody papers on stage at CinemaCon 2022 in front of 4,100 film industry executives in April.

“So many people were shocked on my behalf,” she said. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t that shocked. There’s a reason I didn’t stay in this relationship. Unfortunately, that was consistent with my experience of the relationship. So I was probably the least shocked.’
Still, she admitted the incident had left her “deeply saddened — and in many ways disturbed.”
“I know it took an extraordinary amount of energy [for the server] to come into this room. It took a tremendous amount of foresight. And I’m telling you, there are so many other ways to do this. I’m not someone who lives in secret. If this experience hadn’t been public, I would never have spoken about it because I never wanted my children to know about it. Unfortunately, they will know that this happened,” she said.

While Wilde believes Sudeikis wanted to “disrupt” her appearance, an insider close to him told the publication he “didn’t know when or where the papers would be delivered and would never condone such a turn of events.”
