Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are navigating co-parenting.

The exes share two children together: son Otis Alexander, 10, whom they welcomed in 2014, and daughter, Daisy Josephine, 7, who arrived in 2016.

After seven years together, Wilde and Sudeikis decided to call it quits in 2020. Things were "amicable" between the pair before Sudeikis served Wilde with legal documents regarding their children while she was on stage at CinemaCon. A contentious custody battle followed.

In March 2023, the House alum's legal team claimed that Sudeikis was trying to "litigate her into debt" as they tried to determine whether Otis and Daisy should live in N.Y.C. or Los Angeles. A month later, Wilde's legal team claimed that Sudeikis was "not paying child support."

The custody case was eventually settled in September 2023, and the Ted Lasso star was ordered to pay Wilde $27,000 a month in child support. They now share joint custody of Otis and Daisy — operating on a "week-on, week-off" schedule.

Sudeikis and Wilde welcomed their son Otis Alexander on April 20, 2014. The first-time mom shared the happy news and her son's name on Twitter several days after his birth. "Ladies and gentlemen, Otis Alexander Sudeikis has LEFT the building! (I'm the building)," she wrote alongside a sweet black-and-white photo of her and the newborn.

Wilde later revealed the inspiration behind her son's moniker. "He was named after Otis Redding," she told PEOPLE. "I've just always been a huge fan."

While it might be too soon to tell if either Otis or Daisy is interested in pursuing acting like their famous parents, Wilde has taken note of her son's love for singing.

"[Otis] loves Moana, obviously, and when he thinks about Moana, he thinks of himself as Moana," she told PEOPLE for 2018's The Beautiful Issue. "I love hearing him sing … it's the best when you can watch them singing in the backseat of your car, and he's just like, 'I wish I could be the perfect daughter!' And he's just belting it out."

The actress also revealed that Otis became a huge Beyoncé fan after discovering the artist's music on his mom's iPad. The "Formation" singer even sent the toddler "a signed photo for his second birthday," as Sudeikis shared during a 2017 appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

In 2020, Wilde gave a hint that her son's musical interests had expanded beyond singing to include drumming! The Don't Worry Darling director shared a short but sweet clip on Instagram of Otis hitting the drums. "It's good to be Otis," she captioned the post.

With Sudeikis staring in Ted Lasso, it's no surprise that Otis has become interested in soccer. During a March 16, 2023, appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the actor said that his son is "really into soccer right now."

He added, "He did this thing where he loves looking up their cards and videos, and he comes up with fun facts that he finds on YouTube."

Otis also has a budding passion for basketball, which his dad encouraged by placing a mini hoop in the boy's room after he took his first steps.

"I put it in his little room and that's what got him walking," Sudeikis told Jimmy Fallon in 2015. "He loves dunking basketballs."

In May 2023, Otis and Sudeikis were photographed at a Lakers playoff game. They were seated next to Jason Bateman and his youngest daughter, Maple.

Over the years, Sudeikis and Wilde have marked their son's birthday with a variety of celebrations, including a day at LEGOLAND California for Otis' fifth birthday and a low-key boat ride for his seventh. According to Sudeikis, however, Otis' fourth birthday was one he will never forget.

While guest-hosting Ellen in 2019, Sudeikis recounted with Wilde how the pair had taken their son to Disneyland to celebrate him turning four. After the birthday boy loved Splash Mountain, Sudeikis said the parents "got cocky" and took him on Space Mountain — and as evidenced by a photo they shared from the ordeal, Otis was not a fan.

"It's really traumatizing for me because you're not supposed to take a 4-year-old on [the ride] — look at my face!" Wilde said of the photo, which features a scared-looking Otis and a shocked Sudeikis. "I've never been so scared in my life! That's real mom fear!"

After confirming her second pregnancy in April 2016, Wilde and Sudeikis welcomed daughter Daisy Josephine on Oct. 11, 2016.

The O.C. actress shared the first photo of her newborn daughter, who looked cozy on an oversized sheep mat, a few days later to Instagram, writing: "There goes the neighborhood. Daisy Josephine Sudeikis. Born, like a boss, on #internationaldayofthegirl."

Daisy shares her initials with her father, whose full name is Daniel Jason Sudeikis. A few weeks after her birth, the Horrible Bosses star spoke with Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on The Tonight Show about how he and Wilde settled on their daughter's name.

"We have an awesome cousin — Liv's cousin by birth, mine by association — named Daisy, and it's a great name," he explained. "So when she suggested Daisy, I was like, 'Daisy Sudeikis, that's great.' Then her middle name is Josephine — my father's middle name is Joseph and I also have a great-grandfather named Joseph, and Liv had a great-grandmother named Josephine so we made [it] Josephine."

In 2018, Wilde said a then-18-month-old Daisy was a "total hambone" and would "do anything for a laugh." "She's totally un-self-conscious and I find that so beautiful," the proud mom explained.

Sudeikis has also expressed how his daughter seems to have inherited his comedic timing. The Ted Lasso star shared Daisy's go-to move when it came to school drop-off time with PEOPLE in 2019.

"Daisy does this thing when I drop her off at school. I play music on the way there — I try playing non-kids' music for them when I have the opportunity to play the iPod. I get out and open Otis' side and let him out and by the time I get to Daisy's side, she'll lay there and act like she fell asleep," he explained, adding that the bit "always makes me laugh."

It seems both Daisy and Otis also have the comedy chops to give their dad critiques on his work. Following his fourth Emmy Awards win in September 2022, the actor was asked whether his children think he's as funny as the rest of the world does.

"I don't know," Sudeikis said, "They have a lot of notes, but it's mostly about structure and life: 'Can we shave some time here, Jason? Dad?' "

Daisy even has some acting experience of her own, having made a cameo in her mom's film Don't Worry Darling. Daisy played Wilde's daughter in the movie, which the director said "she was very good" at during a September 2022 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The mom of two explained she was happy to have her daughter see her working. "I really loved that she was seeing me in that light," she said. "Like somewhere subconsciously this is seeping in, that her mother is in charge and is supported by this awesome crew."

Wilde has spoken about how she isn't pushing her daughter toward society's typical gender expectations. In conversation with Beanie Feldstein for an InStyle cover story, the director shared how she encourages both of her kids to embrace their unique personalities.

"Having a boy and a girl, you really notice gender politics within your own home," Wilde explained. "She'll clean up his plate for him after dinner and I'm like, 'Put that back!' "

"With Daisy, I have witnessed how women are born with an incredible amount of strength and that society quickly pushes them to assume the more feminine role," she told the Booksmart star when asked about how she's raising her kids "to be strong and independent."

"When Daisy hits a place where she questions her worth, I want to be the one to remind her of the strength she innately has," Wilde shared.

In February 2023, Wilde showed off her love for her daughter with a new tattoo. She shared a photo on her Instagram Story of what seems to be the Libra constellation, Daisy's zodiac sign, next to the Taurus constellation for her son, a design she got back in 2018. In the post, the director joked that she was "running out of arms" for ink.
