Jason Sudeikis has spoken about his split from fiance Olivia Wilde

Jason Sudeikis has spoken out after his fiance Olivia Wilde moved on with Harry Styles, saying he hopes one day he will understand their split.

Jason Sudeikis has broken his silence on his split from ex-fiancee Olivia Wilde, saying he hopes the end of their relationship will make more sense in the future.

“I’ll have a better understanding of why in a year,” he said in GQ’s August issue, “and an even better one in two, and an even greater one in five, and it’ll go from being, you know, a book of my life to becoming a chapter to a paragraph to a line to a word to a doodle.”

The former Saturday Night Live star confirmed the pair “split up in November 2020″ after more than seven years together and two kids: seven-year-old Otis and four-year-old Daisy.

The New York Post reports just two months after Sudeikis, 45, and Wilde, 37, called things off, she was spotted with Harry Styles — who is 10 years her junior. The new romance sparked a media frenzy.

Sudeikis told GQ that the entire experience is something you “either learn from or make excuses about.”

“You take some responsibility for it, hold yourself accountable for what you do, but then also endeavour to learn something beyond the obvious from it,” he said.

A month after Wilde and Styles, 27, began to make headlines, Sudeikis made news himself by appearing at the Golden Globes’ virtual ceremony wearing a tie-dye hoodie.

He won best actor in a comedy for Ted Lasso but sparked questions over whether he was high due to his stuttering and rambling acceptance speech.

At the time, there were rumours he was still heartbroken over the split and not ready to date anyone new himself.

“I was neither high nor heartbroken,” Sudeikis clarified to GQ. “So yeah, it came off like, ‘This is how I feel. I believe in moving forward.’”

He added, “I wore that hoodie because I didn’t wanna f**king wear the f**king top half of a Tom Ford suit. I love Tom Ford suits, but it felt weird as s**t.”

The comedian has seen much success from Ted Lasso, which is now in its second season. The AppleTV+ series is about an American football coach who moves to England to coach a soccer team while experiencing a falling out with his wife.

Sudeikis shared that he and Wilde had developed the concept together while at dinner in 2015, which — in hindsight — he questions whether it was some form of manifestation.

“I wonder if that’s true,” the actor told the mag. “I mean, isn’t that just a little bit of what Oprah [Winfrey] was telling us for years and years? You know, manifestation? Power of thought? That’s The Secret in reverse, you know?”

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis ended their engagement after more than 7 years.

Despite the ups and downs over the past year, Sudeikis said he prides himself on how he’s overcome the pitfalls.

“I think if you have the opportunity to hit rock bottom, however you define that, you can become 412 bones or land like an Avenger,” he said. “I personally have chosen to land like an Avenger.”

When asked how he did it, he responded, “I don’t know. It’s just how I landed.”

Wilde told Marie Claire in 2013 that she and Sudeikis connected instantly.

“I was just learning to be by myself,” she said. “I’d been divorced nine months. We were both seeing people but were single. He seemed to really see me, see through the bull**t.”

“Before you have a child, marriage is the ultimate commitment and promise to one another, and then once you have a child, it’s like, ‘Oh, we’re committed and promised already.’”

In June, Sudeikis was photographed for the first time with girlfriend Keeley Hazel.
