“It’s been amicable and they’ve transitioned into a great coparenting routine,” a source told People. “The children are the priority and the heart of the family’s relationship.” The pair share a 6-year-old son, Otis, and a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. 

Since new of her breakup from Sudeikis, Wilde has been hard at work directing and co-starring alongside Styles in the upcoming film, Don’t Worry Darling, which began filing in October 2020. 

After firing Shia LaBeouf from the project over his poor behavior, Wilde brought the singer on to replace him. She had even expressed her excitement about the “Watermelon Sugar” crooner joining the film in his recent cover story for Vogue’s December issue. 

“She and I did a little victory dance when we heard that we officially had Harry in the film, because we knew that he has a real appreciation for fashion and style,” Wilde said of her and costume designer Arianne Phillips’ reaction. 

“To me, he’s very modern and I hope that this brand of confidence as a male that Harry has—truly devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity—is indicative of his generation and therefore the future of the world,” she continued. “I think he is in many ways championing that, spearheading that. It’s pretty powerful and kind of extraordinary to see someone in his position redefining what it can mean to be a man with confidence.”
