Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are putting the drama behind them – but who could ever forget Don't Worry Darling at the Venice Film Festival? – and prioritizing what is truly most important, their kids.

Jason then added: "If that's the example that myself and Olivia provide for them, then I'm happy about that. It doesn't have to be in this business necessarily, but if they find -– Daisy wants to be about ten different things."

On the show, the former SNL member also has a kid he has to co-parent, and he explained that knowing what it's like from experience was crucial for him to star as Ted Lasso.
