Jason Sudeikis confesses he finds the idea of dating 'overwhelming'

Jason Sudeikis finds the idea of dating "daunting and overwhelming".

The 50-year-old actor split from fiancee Olivia Wilde in 2020 after a seven-year engagement and the Ted Lasso star - who has son Otis, 12, and daughter Daisy, nine, with his former partner - admitted there are "ups and downs" to life alone.

Speaking to Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Jason was asked if he was a "single man" and, after confirming he is, added: “I like being in relation to people.

“I'm not at a point in my life where, you know, where it feels good or fulfilling to date numerous people all at once. Yeah, that feels daunting and overwhelming, especially with being a parent.”

Jason knows any potential new partner will always come second to his children.

He said: “There's also a new thing of anybody I'm dating that they are never number one on the call sheet, as the showbiz saying would go, like the kids are.

“Even probably more so than myself. And so then there's that little bit as you get older, you're like, ‘Oh God, I got to make sure my cup's full in order for other people to get the overflow.’ ”
