Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis started dating in 2011 after meeting at a “Saturday Night Live” wrap party. “We hit it off that night,” the “We’re the Millers” actor told Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” in 2017, per People. But Wilde had been dating someone else at the time, and Sudeikis said he was “very busy with other things.”
In a 2013 interview with Allure, Wilde said she thought Sudeikis “was so charming” when they first met, but he “didn’t even get my number.” Luckily, the universe had other plans for them. “Over the next six months we kept running into each other,” she recalled. “[One night], my best guy friend walked up to him and said, ‘This is Olivia’s number. Use it.’ That was the beginning.” The two started officially dating in November 2011, and come December 2012, Sudeikis got down on one knee and began what was to be a long engagement.
The two remained relatively low-key throughout their relationship and focused on the two children they share, Otis and Daisy. When asked why they were taking so long to tie the knot, Sudeikis simply quipped, “I believe we won’t get married until weed is legal in every state,” he told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” in 2016. But as we all know, they eventually broke the engagement and officially called it quits at the end of 2020.
