On October 18, in Los Angeles, an update about Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde’s child custody settlement was reported. Once a celebrated Hollywood couple, they’ve faced their share of publicized tribulations since their separation in November 2020.
Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde, who began their relationship in 2011 after a chance meeting at a Saturday Night Live finale party, became engaged in 2012. Their journey as parents began with the birth of their son, Otis, in 2014, followed by their daughter, Daisy, in 2016. However, by November 2020, the couple decided to part ways.
Post-separation, the focus shifted to co-parenting. Although Wilde began a new chapter in her life by dating musician Harry Styles, her children remained her top priority. Sources close to the couple have always emphasized the importance both parents place on their children, always keeping their well-being at the forefront.
The road to establishing a stable co-parenting arrangement wasn’t without its bumps. In April 2022, Wilde was publicly served custody papers while on stage, an event that became a major talking point.
Further contention arose over the location of the custody hearing. Sudeikis, 48, preferred New York, while Wilde, 39, was inclined toward California. Ultimately, the case was moved to California.
By September 2023, a resolution was reached. The couple agreed to a joint custody arrangement, alternating on a week-by-week basis. Court documents also highlighted the financial aspects of the agreement. Jason Sudeikis, with an estimated annual income of $10.5 million, was ordered to pay $27,500 per month in child support to Wilde, who’s projected to earn $500,000 in 2023. Additionally, Sudeikis would cover 25% of childcare costs.
Amid the challenges, both Sudeikis and Wilde have been praised for their dedication as parents. Their commitment to ensuring the best for their children is evident. Sources have commented on their successful transition into a cooperative co-parenting routine, emphasizing that their children’s welfare remains the cornerstone of their relationship.
