Olivia Wilde is proud of the way she and her former fiancé Jason Sudeikis share parenting duties. She is also being honest about how tough it was to get there.

In a long new interview, according to reports, the actress and director said she takes real pride in "how good we are at co-parenting our kids in my family."

She described the pair as having reached a "healthy equilibrium." Even so she admitted the arrangement is "so hard."

No sugarcoating

Wilde has little patience for anyone who claims a split with kids involved is simple.

She said people who act like you can "consciously uncouple" and then just "find a way" are selling "BS."

She also said she feels "relieved" that she no longer has to put on a front with her children.

Why honesty matters to her

Wilde believes kids can tell when the grown-ups around them are hiding something.

"When you're trying to hide it from your kids, they sense it. They're the most intuitive people in the house," she explained.

She added that children then begin to wonder what is real. "I wouldn't wish that on anyone," she said.

From frosty to friendly

Back in June the former couple came together to cheer on their daughter Daisy at her graduation.

Things were much chillier in 2022. That year Wilde was handed custody papers while she stood onstage at CinemaCon.

Wilde and Sudeikis ended their engagement in 2020. Along with Daisy they share a son named Otis.
