Olivia Wilde is one of those few who have successfully transitioned from acting to directing in Hollywood. Her last outing, ‘Don’t Worry Darling‘, was marred with controversies. Apart from her work, Wilde is also in the news for her personal life and relationships.
Since her split with actor Jason Sudeikis, Wilde has been embroiled in a custody battle for her children. The 39-year-old recently said that all that has put financial pressure on her, putting her in “debt.” So let’s find out in detail about all this and Wilde’s financial situation.

Olivia Wilde On Her And Jason Sudeikis’ Custody Battle
Olivia Wilde started dating Jason Sudeikis in 2011 and the two got engaged in 2013. They share two children, a son, and a daughter. However, they parted ways in November 2020.
On Thursday, the ‘Booksmart‘ director filed a declaration with the Los Angeles Superior Court stating her financial details. She stated that the legal costs of the long custody battle have pushed her into debt.
“While Jason can afford to spin his wheels with filing after filing, Olivia cannot,” her attorney said before the hearing. “Jason seems intent on throwing whatever he can against the wall to see what will stick, and this Request for Order seeking a stay of the California Parentage action is just the latest example,” they added.
A judge had earlier ruled that the custody war should take place in California and not in New York. They also told Sudeikis to not resort to “trickery” to get his children’s custody.

In the middle of the event on stage, she was handed an envelope. It was revealed to be the custody papers from Sudeikis. Many people saw this as an attempt in bad taste and criticized Sudeikis.
CinemaCon said that they will “reevaluate security measures” after this incident. Last year, Wilde was in a relationship with Styles. They parted ways late last year after dating for a few months.
