OLIVIA Wilde and Jason Sudeikis’ shocking split came as the pair reportedly fought over where to live and their “promising careers.”
The Hollywood couple were engaged for seven years and have two children together, but sources close to the former lovers have claimed that “there were arguments and fights over career decisions and where to live,” although they are “handling this like adults.”
“They’re both successful in their own right and have multiple projects in the works. No one expects any big money grab or custody battle,” the source shared.
Speaking to Us Weekly, the insider added: “Of course, there were arguments and fights over career decisions and where to live.
“Like most couples, they had disagreements, they were bicoastal but Jason loved living in New York and Olivia, who was born in NYC, was leaning more toward Los Angeles.
“She was also busier than him at times, which was difficult at times. They butted heads on many occasions and decided it was best to go their separate ways.”
Olivia and Jason met while the comedian worked at Saturday Night Live, and he previously opened up on their connection, explaining: “I met her at a finale party for SNL. We hit it off that night.
“I actually came off looking a little cooler than I really am because I had heard through the grapevine, through mutual friends who weren’t exactly her best girlfriends, who would report back, ‘Oh you know, I think she’s dating someone.'”
Jason continued: “So I didn’t make any moves. I was just very, very busy with other things. And next thing you know, I stopped being busy, she stopped dating someone, and then it was off to the races.
“We sort of reintroduced ourselves. The universe had more in store for us in the fall.”
Olivia, 36, and Jason, 45, welcomed two kids during their relationship: son Otis, six, and daughter Daisy, four.
The two would become engaged in 2013.
Both Olivia and Jason have been married in the past as the comedian tied the knot with Pitch Perfect writer Kay Cannon in 2004 before parting ways in 2010.
As for Olivia, she was married to filmmaker Tao Ruspoli from 2003 to 2011.
