Olivia Wilde

Actress Olivia Wilde starred in a photo shoot for Variety magazine and spoke in an interview about her conflict with ex-husband Jason Sudeikis, her relationship with Harry Styles and her children.

Currently promoting her own directorial effort, Don’t Worry Sunshine (the non-competitive premiere at the Venice Film Festival), the 38-year-old star laments double standards when it comes to parenting:

Olivia and her ex-husband broke up two years ago and now share legal custody of their children, eight-year-old Otis and five-year-old Daisy.

According to the actress, she recently tried to devote as much time as possible to her son and daughter:

The interview talks about a sensational event where Olivia presented her movie at CinemaCon. Then, during the conversation, he was given court documents regarding guardianship. Sudeikis later stated that he did not plan such a thing and that everything was arranged by the company responsible for the delivery. Wilde believes the ex-husband deliberately put her in an awkward position and made the conflict public. In an interview with Variety, he says:

Olivia believes her son and daughter were hurt most by such a public act:

Many have blamed Harry Styles for the split between Olivia and Jason, who has already been dubbed the new “King of Pop”. Magazines wrote of Wilde’s romance with the singer just a few months after her split from her husband. Harry is starring in the Sunny thriller, Don’t Worry, and the press believe the movie could take his film career to a whole new level. Olivia considered playing the female lead in the directing job, but then she gave it to Florence Pugh. Wilde does not discuss the details of his relationship with Styles with reporters:

While Olivia sees the tabloids as part of a public profession, she blames them for the fact that the object of negativity is mostly female stars:
