In addition to it happening while she was working and, in her opinion, was "something that required forethought," Wilde explained, "I hated that this nastiness distracted from the work of so many different people and the studio that I was up there representing. To try to sabotage that was really vicious. But I had a job to do; I'm not easily distracted. But, you know, sadly, it was not something that was entirely surprising to me. I mean, there's a reason I left that relationship."
She and Sudeikis were together for almost 10 years before splitting up in early 2020, and now share custody of son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 5. Their breakup didn't make news until November 2020, however, confirmation coming in time to quash negative speculation about romantic overlap on Wilde's part.
Of course, that didn't actually stop speculation that she left Sudeikis for Styles, which Wilde recently slammed to Vanity Fair as "horses--t." (She previously referred to a "false narrative" in a December 2021 Vogue story as well.)
She and the Ted Lasso star broke up "long before I met Harry," VF's October cover girl said. "Like any relationship that ends, it doesn't end overnight. Unfortunately, Jason and I had a very bumpy road, and we officially dissolved the relationship towards the beginning of the pandemic."
