Did Olivia Wilde leave Jason Sudeikis for Harry Styles?
Wilde disputed that claim in a Vanity Fair interview reported by Harper’s Bazaar. She said, “The complete horseshit idea that I left Jason for Harry is completely inaccurate,” and, “Our relationship was over long before I met Harry.” Wilde also said she and Sudeikis had officially dissolved their relationship toward the beginning of the pandemic. This is her account of the chronology; it does not provide an exact private date for when her relationship with Styles began.
