Olivia Wilde seen laughing with Jason Sudeikis amid child support, nanny drama
Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are putting their troubles aside for the sake of their kids.
The former couple was spotted at their son Otis’ soccer game over the weekend — just days after firing back at their former nanny over her wrongful termination lawsuit.
The actors first greeted one another with a hug before settling aside to watch the game.
At one point, the pair were even photographed smiling and laughing while looking at the “Don’t Worry Darling” director’s cellphone.
For the outing, they both kept their outfits casual. Wilde wore a white T-shirt and jeans, which she accessorized with a tan beanie and sunglasses. Meanwhile, the “Ted Lasso” star rocked a blue sweatshirt and navy pants, which he paired with a baseball hat.
The two, who were together for nearly a decade, recently joined forces and requested that the wrongful termination lawsuit filed by their former nanny, Ericka Genaro, be dismissed and moved to a private arbitrator.
Wilde, 39, and Sudeikis, 47, claimed that Genaro’s lawsuit was improperly filed in California when it should have been filed in New York. They also demanded that the lawsuit be kept out of the media.

“It is unfortunate that this private matter continues to play out in the press,” the pair said in a statement last week.
“Our focus has been and will continue to be to steadfastly protect our family in the face of harassment of any kind. We are confident that the evidence brought forward will affirm our position to summarily dismiss this case and bring our family peace.”
Among many other jaw-dropping claims, Genaro alleged that in February 2023 the famous exes fired her for requesting a “stress leave” due to their messy split — which allegedly became “debilitating.”
Following her filing, Wilde and Sudeikis claimed Genaro was never actually fired but that she resigned after they refused to double her salary.
They also claimed that Genaro threatened to “dish” out their dirty laundry to the press, which she ultimately ended up doing.
While the couple has been battling it out with their former nanny, they have also been caught up in a nasty custody war.
In March, Wilde accused Sudeikis of trying to “litigate her into debt” while fighting for primary custody of their 9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, Daisy.
She also claimed her former fiancé has paid her zero child support despite earning a “significantly superior” income.
In court documents, Wilde said she was carrying “100% of the costs for the children’s care,” including food, clothing and extracurricular activities. However, she noted that they do split the cost of their children’s school tuition.
Yet a source close to Sudeikis told Page Six, “Olivia and Jason shared costs equally and fairly throughout their relationship, including everything related to the children.
“Jason took it upon himself to initiate the proceedings in the first place to ensure that the kids would be properly cared for by both parents based on the court deciding what is fair financially going forward,” the insider added.
