It was the kind of morning that tends to sideline old grudges — folding chairs on a lawn, someone in a cap and gown, a photographer nearby just in case. Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis showed up together last week for daughter Daisy's graduation, a co-parenting appearance that drew more attention than most school ceremonies tend to get.
The two first got together in 2011, moved through a long engagement, and called it off in November 2020 after seven years. What followed was a split that played out in the tabloids with the kind of detail usually reserved for prestige drama — custody filings, a high-profile new relationship for Wilde, and a period of very public silence from both sides.
Sudeikis, currently best known stateside for his Emmy-winning run on Ted Lasso, recently broke some of that silence with candid comments about dating after the breakup — remarks that made the rounds quickly enough to land him back in the celebrity news cycle before the graduation itself.
None of that appeared to be the story on the day. The two share Daisy and a son, Otis, and by most accounts have kept the parenting front functional even when the personal front was anything but. Graduation ceremonies have a way of enforcing a kind of armistice.
Wilde was seen in relaxed warm-weather clothes. Sudeikis kept it low-key. Daisy, for her part, graduated. The next family calendar milestone has not been announced.
