Olivia Wilde, 39, has reportedly claimed that her ex-partner Jason Sudeikis, 47, has never paid child support for their two children, despite earning more than her.
Wilde and Sudeikis had dated since 2011, getting engaged in 2013 and sharing two children before ultimately splitting in November 2020.
Apparently, Wilde has formally requested that Sudeikis start paying her child support for their kids - Otis and Daisy - as she's allegedly been responsible for 100 percent of the costs of raising them.
In recent legal documents obtained by The Blast, Wilde claims that Sudeikis has not contributed to the raising of Otis and Daisy since he split with Wilde three years ago.
"Jason is not currently paying child support to me, despite my requests through counsel that we agree upon an interim support amount to avoid further litigation in this matter," Wilde says in the documents. She also added that she and Sudeikis share "certain expenses for the children," like their school tuition fees.
However, Wilde apparently pays for everything else while the children are in her care, "including, but not limited to, their food, clothing, childcare, extracurricular activities, and transportation costs."
The two actors called off their engagement in 2020, around the time Wilde had started work on filming her psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling, which is set in the 1950s and stars Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine, and Gemma Chan.
Pop culture aficionados will recall that this flick had its own set of dramas - with Wilde reportedly feuding with Pugh over the former's growing romance with Styles. Wilde vehemently denied that she had cheated on Sudeikis in the October 2022 issue of Vanity Fair, stating: "Our relationship was over long before I met Harry. Like any relationship that ends, it didn't end overnight.
"Unfortunately, Jason and I had a very bumpy road, and we officially dissolved the relationship towards the beginning of the pandemic. We were raising two kids during lockdown, so we co-parented through that time. Once it became clear that cohabitating was no longer beneficial for the children, it became the responsible thing to NOT, because we could be better parents as friends who lived in different houses," she added.
Gossip about a feud between her and Wilde came to a head when a leaked video showed Wilde pleading with actor Shia LaBeouf not to quit Don't Worry Darling (in which he was meant to star). The leaked footage came after the 39-year-old director claimed she had fired LaBeouf from the set of the flick in 2020 for safety reasons - meaning she'd likely been caught out in a lie.
That announcement in 2020 was certainly timely, given that LaBeouf was receiving negative publicity stemming from accusations of sexual battery and assault from his former girlfriend, FKA Twigs - that case is set to go to trial at the end of this year.
As for Styles and Wilde, they broke up after close to two years together, with the former One Directioner recently being papped playing tonsil tennis with model and author Emily Ratajkowski.
