Speaking to the magazine about coming to terms with the split, Sudeikis shared that he’s working to come to an understanding of why things worked out as they did.
Opening up to GQ for their July issue, Sudeikis spoke for the first time publicly about the split from his longtime partner, Olivia Wilde, with whom he shares two children.

Sharing that he’s still searching for clarity on the split, he explained, “I’ll have a better understanding of why in a year 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.”
However, Sudeikis is insistent on finding a takeaway from the relationship, telling GQ, “That’s an experience that you either learn from or make excuses about,” he said.
“You take some responsibility for it, hold yourself accountable for what you do, but then also endeavor to learn something beyond the obvious from it.”
News of the breakup came in January when Wilde was spotted at a wedding holding hands with her Don’t Worry Darling co-star Harry Styles. It was rumored that Sudeikis took the breakup hard, but the 45-year-old actor is now in a happy relationship with his Ted Lasso co-star and old friend, Keeley Hazell.
While their relationship may have come to an end, Sudeikis and Wilde still co-parent their two children, Daisy and Otis, together, with Wilde spending several months in London to be with her beau Styles, and her children while Sudeikis filmed Ted Lasso.
It seems as though Sudeikis has learned a lot over the past year, concluding the topic by saying, “I think it was really neat.
I think if you have the opportunity to hit a rock bottom, however you define that, you can become 412 bones or you can land like an Avenger.
I personally have chosen to land like an Avenger. It doesn’t mean when you blast back up you’re not going to run into a bunch of s**t and have to, you know, fight things to get back to the heights that you were at, but I’d take that over 412 bones anytime.”
